Strange incident while taking photos in the Lost Forty SNA

The witness was alone photographing old pines around noon when loud banging and knocking began after a car horn sounded. About 15 minutes later a large birch about 20 to 30 feet away was heard cracking, seen bending down and then springing back upright. The witness did not see any creature, feared an animal larger than a bear, ran back to the car, and inferred something had been in the tree watching.

Trapper describes strange occurrences in an area deep in the Superior National Forest

Two people setting bobcat traps in a secluded mature forest found a section of pine trees twisted and snapped off. Several trees were strewn across and blocked the road they were walking, while others were suspended high off the ground and woven between other trees. The witnesses felt the area was creepy and left after gathering their traps.

Man tells of a possible nighttime encounter while burning garbage near Long Prairie

Two companions hauled garage trash to a brush burn pile near woods after dark and tended a large fire. They heard running around them in the dark and loud tree-limb breaking, then saw a tall dark figure move along the woods edge and duck in. They fled on the tractor and did not return that night.
