Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Jim H:

I spoke to the witness (boyfriend in the background) for about an hour. The conversation started out by recounting the history of occurrences around their home over the previous few years. They stated that there were numerous times that they heard a variety of vocalizations, everything from screams to howls. On one occasion they heard what they described as talking (but not understanding the words) from behind their garage. When her boyfriend and son went outside to try to record the sounds they quit. She told me of another time they heard something hit their door. They went outdoors and found a branch from a poplar tree about three feet long. Two odd things about this is that they do not have any poplars in the immediate area, and the branch had not been broken off but appeared to have been twisted off. They stated that there were many other things that happened over a couple year span that they couldn't explain. As well as the behavior of their dog at times. She then told me of the morning they had a sighting as they were leaving their home. She and her boyfriend were in the car and were pulling out of there driveway on to a dirt road to head to town. The morning was overcast and slightly foggy. As they got to the end of their drive her boyfriend asked her if the coast was clear. That is when she seen what she described as a tall, black, hair covered, upright creature walking on two legs heading down the road to their right away from them. When they first noticed it it was around 35 - 40 yards away from them and they both watched it walk away. As it did so it would walk down into the ditch then back up on to the road and then into the ditch again as it continued into the woods and out of sight. They said that they watched it until it was about a hundred or so yards away. They could not believe what they had just seen. They called her son who came out there with a friend. They were able to find a number of footprints where what they seen had walked down the road. The friend of her son had taken a picture of the best track which clearly showed five toes. The track was estimated at around 16.5 - 17 inches long. They estimated the height of the creature at around 7 - 7.5 feet tall. At no time did they see the face as it did not turn around. But they are convinced it knew they were there and was just trying to get away as quickly as possible in a steady stride. They have told me they would try to get a copy of the photo of the track, will update this report when I receive it.

They live just outside the very vast Chippewa National Forest.
