Close encounter with two witnesses near Kettle Moraine Oak Opening outside Palmyra

Two companions parked at night to shoot bottle rockets when the driver noticed movement across the road. A very large upright figure stepped onto the road and approached them, becoming visible in the truck's cargo light and moonlight. Frightened by its size and continued approach, they scrambled into the truck, reversed toward it, and fled at high speed.

A relative visited the described site about 45 minutes later and reported a landing mark in a snow bank, tracks along a deer trail, and a deer carcass missing its front legs.

Man sees reddish brown figure near Phillips jump off road

During deer season in November 2002, the witness was walking a road near Phillips looking for deer when he saw an upright figure coming toward him. He first thought it was a black bear but, viewing it through a rifle scope from about 200 yards, concluded it was man-like and not a bear or human. When the witness crouched, the figure stopped then ran on two legs into an alder swamp, leaping over water and moving quickly through difficult bog ground.

Two couples shine owl and observe large hairy primate

In summer 1981 four young people parked at night with headlights toward the woods and noticed eyeshine high in the trees. When bright headlights were turned on they reported seeing a huge standing figure that turned and walked away, prompting them to flee in reverse. They returned in daylight the next day and noted a large circular area of burned grass tops.
