Hunter scouting locations has a possible encounter near Buhl
The witness was walking north on an old railroad track through swamp while hunting when howls from the woods paralleled the movement. About a half mile ahead a large black figure was seen in the road, initially thought to be a bear. As the witness closed to about 100 yards the figure stood upright on two legs, moved into a ditch and tall grass, pausing to sway and look back toward the road while howling continued, before leaving into the swamp. Feeling nervous and sensing another presence behind, the witness left the area.
Daytime sighting by a hunter visiting his bait station near the town of Virginia
The witness drove to a bear bait station in the early morning and paused at a trail fork. A large gray-white creature crossed the trail about 50-60 yards away and continued through brush toward the bait site, with loud bipedal footsteps heard for several seconds. The witness left immediately and later returned with a companion only to retrieve a posted sign.
Vocalizations heard and animal observed near Hibbing
The husband got up early and heard an unfamiliar calling sound, so he went outside to get mail and look for the source. Near his car he saw a fur-covered bipedal figure about 50 feet away in pines, watched it briefly, then it noticed him and ran toward the woods and field. He later found large pressed-down footprints in grass, and the spouse's father found scat in the same area said to differ from deer or bear.
Hunter's sighting near gravel pits outside Floodwood
The witness was deer hunting from an elevated stand in late afternoon when branches began breaking as something approached. A tall, thick, long-haired biped stopped about 30 yards away for several seconds, gave a very loud howl, then rapidly retreated through thick swamp while breaking vegetation and howled again while moving away to the southwest. The frightened witness ran to the car and later said the experience ended his hunting in that area.
Several incidents experienced by father and son outside St. Louis
The witness's father was bowhunting and walking back from a deer stand in 1976 when he saw a very tall, large figure standing across a small wheat field. He whistled twice thinking it was another hunter but received no response and concluded it was not a man. He retreated toward the house via a dried slough while hearing limbs popping behind him that stopped when he stopped and resumed when he moved.
