WHEN: Early 1970's

ACTIVITIES OF WITNESS:Just thought I would give you the bare bones of this and if you want to know more just ask.

When I was a small child I was on a walk with my grandfather and sister. On the gravel road we were on we came across a huge footprint, in the soft area off to the side. Like it had started up the hill next to it. But just one track. I really doubt this was a hoax because this isnt a road people walk on much even now, about 30 years later.

We had things happen there that were pretty unexplainable. I know whatever was around the dogs detested/feared it immensely! This is in southeastern Minnesota in Goodhue County. Where we lived pretty was wooded and not far from Frontenac State Park. Also, a hardwood forest and Prairie Island Indian Reservation.

OTHER NOTES: All my experiences here happened in the 70's and 80's. Texas Bigfoot has a report of ours. When we were living in Eldorado, Texas.( Not far from Sonora caves. Though maybe nothing to do with it?) My oldest boy was maybe 5. One night about 9 pm he literally screamed for me. I went in there to see something big moving away from the window. To this day (he's almost 18 now) he remembers it. He said he woke up and it was looking into the window at him. It had horns,( maybe this was from hair) and the teeth came up over the bottom like a bulldogs. He said he thought it was one of the neighborhood teens playing a joke until it smiled. He shivers when he says this and says " MASKS dont smile!". I went outside but didnt see anything. The windows are low so I guess it was sort of hunched over. Anyway, no connection to Minnesota but interesting anyway.:) I did talk to one of the guys there to verify the report. I have always been fascinated with this. My bedtime stories from my father were about Bigfoot. He liked to scare us.
