Sasquatch sighting in Iowa (2007)

The witness and a male companion were helping move into an isolated old farmhouse in Iowa in March 2007.

Possible sighting and howls heard by deer hunters in John Muir Wilderness

The figure ran downhill after the deer and disappeared into brush, and the hunters later found a very large footprint where it had stood.
