The witness and a companion were driving toward a nature reserve parking lot in the afternoon to look for Sasquatch. Less than a hundred feet ahead, a large dark-haired muscular creature crossed the road on all fours from a field and disappeared.

Family finds strange prints on a trail in Waubonsie State Park

A family of two adults and four children were walking on a trail while camping when they noticed a line of very large footprints.
