Hunter describes trailer shaking then scream/howl outside Council on boundary of Payette NF and Boise NF

October 2009 Iron, Mn. Just Before Virginia, St. Louis County, Minnesota Class B #27676

Possible brief sighting by a motorist outside Mountain Iron

The witness was driving east on Highway 169 toward Virginia on a bright Sunday morning when she spotted a large silvery-gray furry creature on a hilltop clearing north of the westbound lanes.

After a few seconds median trees blocked the view, and the witness continued without turning back. A car stopped on the opposite side appeared to be watching the same thing.

24 September 2009 Kappa, Woodford County, Illinois Class B #26874

Possible footprints found near Mackinaw River

The witness was building a house near the Mackinaw River and searching the disturbed mud for arrowheads.

The follow-up clarified a total of three prints estimated at about 14 inches long and 6 inches wide without actual measurement, with photos too unclear to publish. The witness doubted anyone would walk barefoot in cold mud at a construction site.

Man has nighttime sighting of two bipedal creatures behind his home near Mannford

The witness was outside in the driveway on a cell phone call around midnight when they noticed two dark figures moving across a moonlit field.

After crouching in tall grass, both figures moved toward trees and darkness to the southwest, and a rock or object struck a nearby shed as the witness went inside.
