Large log tossed into Des Moines River as woman watches eagles from bridge at Frank Gotch State Park

The witness stopped on a park bridge after work and felt uneasy and watched from the wooded riverbank.

The witness inferred the log had been thrown from the forest floor and left quickly feeling scared and shaken.

1 August 1959 Graf, Dubuque County, Iowa Class B #36817

Screams and stalking at a Girl Scout camp 13 miles west of Dubuque

In the summer of 1959 the witness was working as a counselor at a wooded Girl Scout camp. Over roughly two weeks, staff repeatedly heard footsteps moving through the tent area after dark, saw a dark figure near a hut, and found a director's tent ransacked, with deputies searching each day without finding anyone. On the final night the group heard extremely loud screams that moved from near a remote tent toward a pond and creek and found a large maple branch freshly broken off, leading the witness years later to wonder if the visitor had been a Bigfoot.
