Scream in Minnesota (2022)

The same night after the field encounter the witness returned to his nearly empty house. He heard knocking and banging on the house, found his previously locked sliding glass door cracked open, then heard the same scream echoing inside for an extended period. He barricaded himself in the bedroom overnight and found the door closed with no trace in the morning.

Summer 2013 Grand Marais, Cook County, Minnesota Class B #43973

Canoers report a rock throw and possible grunts near Grand Marais

Two people were canoeing at night when a rock landed very close to them in the water though the distant shore appeared desolate. A short time later their canoe became grounded in a shallow channel between lakes and they heard a loud strange animal-like noise for about ten minutes that stayed just beyond flashlight range while surrounding wildlife went quiet. They freed the canoe and returned to the car for the night.

Rock throwing in Minnesota (2012)

After resting by day the crew paddled at night back toward base. While shooting the shallow narrow pinch between two lakes a large boxy rock arced high and landed just in front of the lead canoe. The crew paddled to the middle of the lake, tied canoes together, and stayed on the water all night.

Unknown nighttime visitor at a campsite on Lake Jeannette

The witness and a companion were camping in a tent when the witness heard loud, heavy bipedal footsteps approaching around 4 a.m. After the witness shouted, something threw a rock at the tent and then walked rapidly away with the same loud steps.

1982–1983 Minnesota #0e4939bb-283b-4433-bb60-7a871a2483da

Sasquatch sighting in Minnesota (1982)

The witness had left a pack with clothes and snacks at his deer stand the day before opening weekend and had noticed snacks missing in prior years. Approaching the stand over a ridge, he heard banging and watched a small ape-like juvenile jumping on the stand, swinging from a branch and climbing the ladder for several minutes. When it noticed him it made a low distress call, followed by an extremely loud roar from a wooded island about 100 yards away that he felt in his chest. He fled immediately and returned about a week later to find the stand torn down and the pack and contents shredded over a wide area.

Summer 1976 Lake Of The Woods County, Minnesota Class A #3227

Creature sighted twice by three men while camping in northern Minn

Three men were on a fishing and camping trip near Lake of the Woods when they saw a tall hairy figure watching them from behind a tree. The figure ran away bipedally, and a rotten stench was noticed in the area. As the men walked along railroad tracks bordered by swamp, a football-sized rock flew past them from the side with no one visible, and they later saw the figure run across the tracks ahead of them. They returned to camp and told local residents, some of whom said they had also seen a hairy person.

Memory told of a possible encounter while coon hunting near Houston

On a moonlit night in late October 1975, the witness was coon hunting along a ridge when both dogs became frightened and stayed by him. He heard a low moaning sound, a rock-throw-like crash into a brush pile, two tree-strike-like impacts, and something moving through leaves down a steep wooded slope. He called out but saw nothing and ended the hunt.

Property disturbance near Lake City, Minnesota

A couple who team-drive a long-haul truck reported seeing dead animals with no blood or skid marks along I-94 at dawn, including a curled bear, dairy cows, and deer within a few miles. After unloading, they drove Highway 61 along the Mississippi River and watched a small black unmarked helicopter with blacked-out windows struggle to lift a large white teardrop-shaped bag from the riverbank via cable. Shortly after, both received identical texts from a blocked number asking to speak with them, which they deleted, and they noticed several unplated black SUVs at a nearby gas station.
