Motorist sighting of a bigfoot on a county road 28 miles south of Ashland

The witness was driving with a companion on a county road west of Clam Lake in late morning when they noticed a tall dark figure standing by the road. As they approached, the figure crossed the road and was then seen standing in the woods about 40-50 feet away, where the witness observed it in detail before having to drive on due to traffic and road [name withheld]. The companion, who had been looking at a phone, did not see the close view clearly.

Two high school students are chased by large unknown creature

Two high-school companions went to an old single-lane railroad bridge at night to look into stories that it was haunted. While walking toward an abandoned barn they heard approaching rustling, then a loud scream-growl and heavy footsteps. A large shaggy creature reportedly ran at them on all fours, stood up about 15 feet away, and chased them back to their car before leaving when something else came down the road. They returned the next day and found odd-looking footprints.
