Sasquatch sighting in Minnesota (2022)

The witness was plowing an isolated field while on the phone with his sister when he saw a large dark shape in the corn.

He kept video of the distant figure and finished the field before leaving.

Sasquatch sighting in Minnesota (2004)

The witness and a companion were anchored in a boat at night hearing loud bipedal footsteps approach through riverside woods.

The witness panicked, pulled anchor and fled, later revisiting to estimate the figure was at least a foot to a foot and a half taller than himself with massive girth.

Daytime vocalizations and sighting by grouse hunters near Silver Bay along Lake Superior's north shore

Two companions hunting grouse in a remote swampy forest heard repeated loud howls and sensed a large animal moving nearby.

In a backlit clearing they observed the full outline of a tall, dark, hair-covered biped that crossed difficult terrain with remarkable speed. The animal ceased following as they reached a more traveled ridge trail.
