Multi-witness daylight sighting 3.5 miles SE of Sixmile Lake (Leech Lake Reservation)

Two relatives driving slowly while hunting for grouse were alerted to a large dark figure in a grassy ditch beside a side road. They backed up and watched the upper body of the tall, long-armed figure move slowly upright into the woods. At the site they noticed a strong foul odor and minor ground disturbance but no clear footprints on packed gravel. Later the same day a game warden told them that spot was known for similar reports.

It crossed the road less than 20 paces in front of them, then leaped the far ditch in a single stride. Both occupants watched it closely in clear daylight and described human-like but non-human movement and musculature.
