Partial sighting in Minnesota

The witness and his spouse were sitting on the back deck of their new house on an open pasture. They watched three very large animals moving on all fours through tall grass about 300 yards away at high speed. The movement did not match bear or dog locomotion to the witness, and the size and group behavior seemed unusual for local bears.

Girls see "blonde gorilla" just north of the Twin Cities

Two girls were walking in woods near home looking for a tree to climb when they encountered an upright beige-haired gorilla-like creature in a clearing. The creature first appeared bent over, then straightened and seemed to notice them, causing both girls to run home and immediately tell a parent. The parent did not inspect the site because the girls were too frightened to return. An investigator later interviewed both witnesses as adults and they maintained the same account.
