Possible daylight sighting by motorist on a gravel road south of Sturgeon Lake

The witness was driving on a road through pine forest and saw a large black human-shaped figure standing in the road about a quarter-mile ahead. The figure appeared startled, turned, and moved quickly off the east side of the road as the witness descended into a dip. After a brief loss of sight, the figure had vanished despite open visibility into the woods, and subsequent searches found only scattered garbage and no tracks.

A man is woken by a whoop near his home and a few months later sees an upright creature run past his barn

In November 2004 the witness was talking on the phone in the kitchen at night when he saw a large bipedal animal run past the barn. The animal was illuminated by the yard light for two seconds or less at about fifty yards distance. He estimated its height by comparison to a six-foot barn door and described it as dark, furry, and stocky with no obvious neck. He searched the next day but found no tracks because the ground was frozen with no snow.

Cabin owner describes one sighting and other incidents 2 miles north of St. Croix State Park

In the early dark morning the witness left a trailer to use outdoor facilities when a dog unusually refused to follow. About 10-15 feet away a large bipedal figure over 7 feet tall moved silently across the yard, paused to turn its head toward the witness, then continued in a smooth gliding motion down an embankment toward a creek and into the woods. The witness grabbed a flashlight but saw and heard nothing further, later noticing fine dust particles hanging in the air where the figure had paused.

Morning sighting of two white animals five miles east of the town of Willow River

The witness was driving past an open field when he saw two completely white ape-like creatures about 30 yards away. The pair froze in mid-stride as he passed, with the female turning toward the male, then disappeared into woods about 60 yards away before he could turn around for another look. He described the shorter one as gorilla-shaped and heavy and the taller one as more human-shaped, muscular, and about nine feet tall.
