Tracks near Eldridge, Iowa (1981)
The witness, then in eighth grade, was delivering papers before dawn during a bitterly cold snowy week. He felt watched, found very large barefoot-like tracks in snow that conformed to a curb, followed them through a park across a creek and fence toward sewage ponds, found the same trail backtracked the next morning, then days later heard an extremely loud scream from nearby bushes that terrified him.
Man recalls observing possible tracks and being screamed at on his paper route in Eldridge
As a paperboy delivering newspapers in Eldridge in early February 1981, the witness found very large human-like footprints in snow crossing the town from northeast to southwest, and found a second set retracing the route in reverse the next morning. Several days later, while delivering Sunday papers with his father driving, the witness tossed a paper against a door and immediately heard a loud scream from beside the house that he attributed to the same creature. The witness never saw the animal itself.
Screams and stalking at a Girl Scout camp 13 miles west of Dubuque
In the summer of 1959 the witness was working as a counselor at a wooded Girl Scout camp. Over roughly two weeks, staff repeatedly heard footsteps moving through the tent area after dark, saw a dark figure near a hut, and found a director's tent ransacked, with deputies searching each day without finding anyone. On the final night the group heard extremely loud screams that moved from near a remote tent toward a pond and creek and found a large maple branch freshly broken off, leading the witness years later to wonder if the visitor had been a Bigfoot.
