Sasquatch sighting near Grand Marais, Minnesota (1969)

The witness was deer hunting alone from a ground blind in northern Minnesota. A frightened doe ran into the blind and lay down behind the witness. Shortly after, two large hairy creatures appeared on either side, one stepping briefly out of a cornfield and another showing only the top of its head in brush, vocalizing and moving around before leaving, after which the deer walked away and the witness left.

Partial sighting in Minnesota

The witness and his spouse were sitting on the back deck of their new house on an open pasture. They watched three very large animals moving on all fours through tall grass about 300 yards away at high speed. The movement did not match bear or dog locomotion to the witness, and the size and group behavior seemed unusual for local bears.

Sasquatch sighting in Minnesota

During a crowded evening party, the teenage witness was sent to fetch beer from cars parked in the dark driveway. He saw reflective eyes and a large squatting silhouette with wide-set eyes, heavy shoulders and knuckles on the ground, which he concluded was not the known local bear. He stalled, slipped into the light, ran inside for a shotgun, but the figure left before his father turned on the lights.

UFO sighting in Minnesota

As a youth before his Bigfoot encounters, the witness twice saw clear blue lights rising from the central bog on foggy early mornings. At 300 and 450 meters they appeared 8 to 14 inches across to the naked eye and larger through binoculars. He initially rationalized them as methane but later concluded methane did not explain the color or behavior.

Sasquatch sighting near Round Lake, Minnesota

As a child about 10 to 12 the witness was picking raspberries alone very early in the morning on her grandparents' farm near Round Lake, Minnesota. Within a few feet she noticed a very large reddish-brown hairy figure with two smaller figures on the other side of the bushes, all quietly picking berries and then crouching into tight balls with faces turned away. She kept picking past them, retreated slowly to the house, and told her grandfather, who fired shots but found nothing; as an adult she interprets them as a Sasquatch family.
