The witness then heard loud branch-breaking sounds followed by quiet, became uneasy, and left the area.

Second-hand report of creature looking in at woman through window

About two decades ago a woman washing dishes at night saw a large hairy-faced man looking through the window above her sink. Police were called and during the subsequent search an officer saw a tall man-like figure run across a highway. Very large tracks with a long stride were found but dogs could not track anything and the figure vanished into river bottoms. A later visitor examined a cast and said weight distribution argued against a fake shoe.

New driver frightened into screaming as he passes huge creature walking along road

The witness was driving at night near a railroad crossing when he noticed a very large, light-colored, hair-covered creature walking along the road with its back toward him.

He stopped briefly at an intersection, feeling panicked and highly agitated, but did not look back at the creature's face.

October 1985 Grantsburg, Burnett County, Wisconsin Class B #8435

Incidents around a cabin near Grantsburg

Three teenagers staying overnight at a wilderness cabin woke after 1 a.m. to see a head and broad shoulders silhouetted in a moonlit upstairs window, with lightly glowing orange-red eyes peering inside. The closest teen moved away, the figure dropped from view, and the group shut the shade and remained shaken. The family dog was unusually spooked and refused walks the next day.

While watching TV, witness sees large, dark, upright object pass by the window

In summer 1984 the witness was watching television at home late in the evening with a window open when grunting sounds approached the house. The witness looked and saw a large dark upright figure pass by while neighborhood dogs became agitated and a foul skunk-like odor was present. The witness judged the figure too large to be a man and moving unlike a bear.

Couple recount seeing large biped walking in ditch near Marinette

The witness and his girlfriend were driving east at night to look for deer when they noticed a figure walking west in a ditch beside the road. Because the ditch was about five feet below the roadway, they estimated the figure to be eight to nine feet tall. They described it as dark with wide shoulders moving easily through the ditch. They did not stop for a closer look and instead took a longer route back.

Someone or something walks by house and peers from around a tree

As a child the witness was at home at night with siblings and a cousin when the doorbell rang repeatedly with no one there. An older brother became hysterical after seeing something peeking from behind a tree and gesturing, and later a neighbor arrived saying something had followed him in the woods. Two older girls then saw a dark form at the bottom of a trail that moved and had red eyes, and also something with a cone-shaped head peeking around a garage, and the younger children later saw a large figure pass by a window.

Sasquatch sighting near Crandon, Wisconsin (1962)

At age 12 the guest and her older cousin went into thick woods near the family lake cabin to pick raspberries and became lost after filling buckets. While arguing about the way out, the guest saw a tall, lean, hairy man-like figure at very close range that studied her, moved its mouth, and held its hands out before looking toward the cousin. The figure then disappeared quickly, and the two children dumped their berries and ran out via a logging road to the grandmother's house, keeping the incident secret for years.
