1 August 1959 Graf, Dubuque County, Iowa Class B #36817

Screams and stalking at a Girl Scout camp 13 miles west of Dubuque

In the summer of 1959 the witness was working as a counselor at a wooded Girl Scout camp. Over roughly two weeks, staff repeatedly heard footsteps moving through the tent area after dark, saw a dark figure near a hut, and found a director's tent ransacked, with deputies searching each day without finding anyone. On the final night the group heard extremely loud screams that moved from near a remote tent toward a pond and creek and found a large maple branch freshly broken off, leading the witness years later to wonder if the visitor had been a Bigfoot.

Woman recalls hearing unusual hi-pitch sounds at a home near North Bay

The witness was sewing at home late at night when her dog showed fear and she turned down the television to hear a loud, unfamiliar screeching vocalization from very close outside the house. The sound lasted about four minutes with pauses and she was too spooked to go outside to investigate. She initially told herself it was an owl, but later comparison to owl, bobcat, lynx and cougar sounds found no match.
