Folks, whether you believe in the unknown or not, do yourself a favor. Always, always, listen to your gut. You feel something is off, take action. Do not ignore it. Whether its about a situation, a person or something unknown; if your spidey sense is tingling, take heed.

[@katem.8816]

So true. Wise words. Sometimes Your subconscious can register information much faster than your conscious thought process. If you feel something is wrong or off, better to make haste than stand there and figure it out.

I was born and raised in Minnesota. I had an absolutely terrifying experience with one.I was about 14. It was in winter, I lived just outside Chisago City. Very remote, the house was built in about 1900. Large farm fields surrounded the front, including the neighbors on three sides, just huge fields, with huge old growth woods behind us, which ran down into a large basin area, woods on the hillsides and down all sides of the basin and covering half of the flat bottom area, with a swampy area and a lake that was covered with a rolling mat of weeds and rootmass on the other half (which was called a bottomless bog). So very secluded. I saw it face to face. I actually still get sick with fear thinking of it. This is not a normal being. It has hooves. It's not "bigfoot". And, it doesn't always leave tracks. That was so freaky. There was snow, a lot of it. Only one set of tracks came in, tracks walked around as it paced around where I was. But no tracks were left from it leaving. It was so terrifying. I was frozen in place. I could feel it staring, leaning over me. I can never forget it and it's been 50 years.

[@leahseim6635]

I’ve had Wendi (go) zombie deer types after me since I was little. Did the tracks look like a person walking around? The first W came after me when I was in a 3 season porch in the suburbs north of St. Paul as a kid. The I am God told me they were ancient evil because saying the name attracts them telepathically to you. But, they are all over as well. They can’t climb trees and hate fire as it makes the broken angel spirit part of them vibrate faster into mist. The dark causes him to slow down and become solid like the decaying deer part. They are more like ambush predators. But can run fast on all fours. (We ran from one at night.) They tend to think people are roaches who need to be squished. They don’t like silver either, but if taken down, the spirit will just find some other human to manipulate. Best to just leave them alone.

[@cinnamongirl5410]

I live close to the Minnesota border. It's usually uneventful (mix of prairie type land that stretches forever on 3 sides, then a wilderness state park on the west side, we are 1 hour from the nearest city). But in early December 2019 one afternoon we had a hell of a fight to get this dog thing OFF our porch and off our property. At one point it was STANDING at our door, feeling around the rim of the door -top to bottom, with it's paws/hands/whatever (everything was going so fast it was hard to hone in on one thing about it) but it was the biggest dog you ever seen that was standing at our door (about 7 ft), and hopped our porch like a dude (arm holding body weight, while slinging it's leg over). There is some seriously weird stuff out here in the middle of nowhere fr

[@bobberceli6874]

I live remote coastal AK, near proximity to a salmon stream. Black and Brown bears are common through the neighborhood. In the 25 years at this homesite I've not heard of anyone in the neighborhood having problems with them. My Malamute pup gets pretty worked up when they are around which perhaps keeps them a distance away. None the less, I keep a Model 12 Winchester with 5 rounds of #6 shot in the magazine centrally located in the house just in case I need to make a lot of noise and pepper the butt end in a parting shot. However, if something creepy were to occur I'd have no hesitation to ruin it's day!

Dogmen and Sas are still around. I’ve got a crabby DM behind my property near Duluth. My friend also saw one checking out her chickens on Island lake in 2020. They are real and they are 4th dimensional beings, so can vibrate faster than we perceive (unless they are having slow, dark thoughts about securing a snack). Ignore anything that seems off. They can’t harvest when they’re not being acknowledged. Stay safe. I get how you feel! 😊

I wonder if you had a run in with the Bray Road Beast. Back in college, my buddies and I packed up my truck, we traveled through Wisconsin one weekend. We wanted to find the Bray Road Beast, never did happen of course. We started our weekend journey with supposed witness reports and the locations of potential sightings. Don't quote me on this, it's a large wolf that can, for a short period of time, walk on the hind legs.

[@katem.8816]

There is a story on KZbin that is really scary and the man who had the encounter was working for the DNR. He was in the official DNR pick up. lol. It was in one of the uppermost counties of Wisconsin, on the state line. He had found a dead deer on a gravel back road and it wasn’t reported yet, but he had a tailgate lift and he would pick up large carcasses so he lowered the lift and put the deer on the lift and into the back end, hopped in to the truck to fill out the paperwork - which is lengthy, but required. As he was working on the report he felt the truck lurch and bounce. He thought the wind had come up. Right after that he felt the truck bounce again and when he looked in the rear view he saw a wolf standing and with one big paw it was lifting,dragging the dead deer out of the back end. It broke off the lifter tail gate at the same time. He said the wolf was standing and about 6 ft tall. On two feet. Eeew. He started up the truck fast and rushed to the closest police office and they returned. The deer was gone but they found the broken off tail gate lifter in the corn field about 20 ft away. The police said it was not the first time they heard about this thing. It was a scary one. The Bray wolf sightings were more in central southern Wis.

I used to live on the river bluffs next to the Federal land on the Minnesota side across from Osceola, Wisconsin. Me and my family had multiple strange experiences there. Everything from being stalked by something in the woods to UFO’s and strange lights in the sky and the woods.

Minnesotan also. We’ve had multiple experiences here in southern MN. The most recent was in July a couple years back. I was sitting on the east-facing steps waiting for my husband to come down the road. Three bellows of something like a bull elk about 7 seconds apart went from south of me to north of me - knee high corn so I would’ve seen it but didn’t. But the bellows were so loud my ears rang and I could feel them in my chest. Husband came up the driveway moments later and he saw and heard nothing but he was on a tractor.

[@foxnullz932]

I'm from Minnesota! My friend (a no nonsense guy) was just telling me about his encounter early morning while fishing. From his boat he saw a large two-legged dark creature on the shore, next to a tree, and he says it looked like it was waving to him. He watched it until it left, waited for for full sunrise, then went up to the tree. He couldn't see any tracks but he said it had to be 7 feet tall or more. He said it could have been a bear reaching for an apple but it just didn't move or act like a bear. This was the Knife Lake Kanabec County area. He's not the kinda person to tell stories or want attention.

The entity was probably waving at him and telepathically ordering him to come closer. Good thing your buddy waited until the dude left, or he may shared some sushi with the being. Not that all higher dimensional beings are aggressive. Some are benign. But, if you don't know; don't go. Some are looking for volunteers for their breed and feed programs. Stay safe!

[@Rem700R5MN]

Spent lots of time in the woods around Knife Lake when I was a teen in the 90’s. Ran a trap line starting at about 14, got a big river otter once, that was my best catch. I hunted squirrels in the daytime with an old mountain cur and chased coon at night with hounds. Scariest thing I ever seen anywhere around there is getting to a tree expecting a coon and finding a big sow black bear in my light instead. Seen wolves a few times, (the real ones not imaginary dog men bullshit all these bored city boys are talking about in this video) but there’s nothing scary about wolves, they take off like a shot at the sight of a human. Probably generational fear after having their whole species eradicated. If you want something scary, talk about what those reintroduced wolves have done to the deer! Anyways it was nice to see someone comment about Knife Lake, my dad is still just north of Warman. Got a brother over near there too. As for me I got the hell outta MN. It’s too crowded for decent people now. Only dogman you’d find there now would be some Biden voter’s misplaced poodle. If you did find him that damn state would probably immediately pass a law granting dogman pronouns and special bathroom access while they were building a dogman accessible abortion clinic. Too bad what’s happened to that state. Used to be a pretty good place. Not anymore.

I've always said it sounded like a cow in labor getting it's guts ripped out. In the years since, I've heard the "common" whoops and howls, but only the Sierra sounds came close to what we heard that night. Thank You Aaron for sharing your story. I have been living in these creatures territory for 47 of my 54 years of life. Dozens of dozens of events such as vocalizations, rock clacking, them leaving gifts, and bluff charging when we didn't abide by "time of the day/night" that was considered by both sides as theirs. My first event was when I was 5 and seen my first trackway. My last, was last night, when they tossed rocks onto the roof for 40 minutes.

Yep. My dad & stepmother had a remodeled old schoolhouse 20 minutes outside of Chetek, Wisconsin, [which is about 67 miles due east of where you guys are]. Indian burial mounds, old cemetery, pot lake nearby. I am a Christian and a few times i wanted to stay up there outside on the farmer up the road's land. I went up one summer for my birthday to camp by myself. Guess what? I saw a man literally materialize about 15ft in front of me in Farmer Orv's woods by his little pot lake. It was 2pm late July, 1990. I was going to camp there overnight by myself!!😮 First, i saw what looked like dark full hefty bags, then dark jeans, jean shirt, and white white hair= the man's face was turned away from me. That voice was like " get out of here right now!" Jumped in our old blue pick up & bumped up and out of there as fast as i could. Drove down about a mile from orv's to the farmers across the street from my dad's school house[ since he wasnt home] i went across the road & told the 2 farmer's sons what happened & we went back out there asap= no imprints in the long grass, no tracks, nope. Nothing. Seriously.?!!! It was always creepy up there but so beautiful one could ignore it or turn a blind eye to it. The land where this happened was just up for sale = 11 acres & a cute little 1890's farmhouse, with a pot lake. Only 229k. The family didn't want it? Only 229k??? Other properties with no acres up there, just a home, are more. I can bet i know why the land was so reasonably priced= totally stigmatized. Definitely haunted.

I live in northern Minnesota and have had three different experiences with Bigfoot. The third time scared me so much that I froze I literally could not get my body to move and my truck was about 30 feet to my left and Bigfoot was about 30 feet to my right and I could feel it starring at me. It was very dark that night. I was outside and I heard this loud noise on the other side of the swamp that was a little over 100 feet of where I was standing it sounded like a big truck going through the woods by the swamp. I didn’t have a flashlight but I kept staring in the direction of the noise. Then complete silence no frogs croaking just quiet. The swamp is at the bottom of a hill that I used to slide down in the winter when I was young. I would say it’s about a 45* slope. I kept staring towards the swamp because I was too scared to move. Then I heard four loud steps to my right I felt the ground move with each step and when it stopped it took a long intake of air I didn’t hear it exhale but I could feel it staring at me and at that point I was so frightened I honestly could not move. It felt like minutes but it was only seconds but when I could move and run to my truck it felt like I was in slow motion I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it. I went back there the next day and I could see where something was standing at the top of the hill from the tall grass. But another thing there was a tree branch about 6 feet in length and 2-3 inches in diameter shoved down in the ground almost 2 feet. I got it out and I couldn’t even push it down far enough to make it stand by itself. I don’t scare very easily but I don’t care who thinks that they are not afraid of anything and would laugh at me but I guarantee they would be shaking in their boots if it happened to them.

In the general same area my daughter-in-law her father was out camping with friends and they had a trailer they were staying in and one showed up after dark, And there happened to be a full moon that night. These men were frightened and curious and It was going from window to window trying to look inside the trailer. One of the windows was very large on one side of the trailer and it completely blocked out the moonlight. It also was making the trailer move by its curiosity playing with the door playing with the windows. My son saw one in this general area. My son likes to go camping all by himself. He loves it! The quiet and go fishing. He only seen it the one time there but when he moved to Zurich Switzerland. He would go camping by himself again to the same area and seen one as it stepped out into the open and I said what did you do? He said he was petrified and stopped and just stared and he said it looked just as shocked as he was and they both just stood and stared at each other until it finally turned and walked away. And I'm like you went back a second time after seeing that and he was like yeah It was my son's favorite spot lol And that's where he saw it a second time. I totally believe my son and also believe my daughter-in-law's dad I know him very well, And as he told his story, you could see the nervousness as he told it and you can see he was reliving the whole experience!

I have a Son in Nissawa, he laughs at me for believing, I wouldn’t live in the woods like they do. Thankfully their dogs have been okay and they aren’t worried. I think it’s worse to be close to rivers, or large lakes, like Superior.

[@boilermatt]

I've been in Minnesota for 48 years so could relate to these experiences. The most memorable primal-feeling experience I've had though was in the gulf in Florida. I was at a beach in waist deep water and i got that primal fight/flight feeling before i knew what was happening. Moments later i realized some GIANT manatees were floating past me, super close, nearly touching me. It's fascinating how your senses can alert you before you actually know something is going on. Thanks for sharing this, it was interesting.

[@cheryljohnson380]

When I was about 10 to 13 years old I would go up north in MN to the cabin with my grandparents and siblings. There was only about 5 cabins and the owners year round home on our side of the lake back then. I used to spend hours walking on the dirt road to the main road that goes around part of the lake and then on into town. I was looking for agates. My encounter was always the same. I would be walking along untill I was exactly between two electric / telephone poles. It always started when I was between two poles, right in the middle, the poles would be on my left as I headed toward the main road, which also was gravel road. Anyway, when I was exactly between, the wires would make a really loud humming noise, like ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, which seemed to get louder and kind of hypnotized me. ( Sounded kinda like a million cicadas) So I would stop and stare at the lines and then always over my left shoulder and behind me I would hear 3 distinct knocks, evenly spaced apart and when I would turn to look I would see nothing. Now where the knocks came from there was a treeline which had to be 1/2 a mile away because the land was all farm fields and a little house way by the treeline. I couldn't see anything move in the fields , the house or the tree line. I wasn't afraid. This went on for a couple years until I was about 13. By this time my parents bought a newly built cabin next to my grandparents. And everytime I went off by myself on the dirt road it always played out the same way. I would be between 2 telephone/electric poles, the wires would start making that Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz noise, I hear the 3 knocks, turn around and see no activity. One time I asked my dad, who worked for the phone company and climbed those poles why it would make this noise. He told me there was a power surge in the lines from people drawing more power in the cabins. But most of the time the other cabins were empty. And this was late 60s early 70s, we didn't have air conditioning, computers nothing. Just light bulbs we didn't dare use during the day and a fridge. Then I asked him about the knocks and he said it was a woodpecker. But how does it peck in a pattern and only 3 times? The last time I went rock hunting alone I was about 13. Everything happened exactly like it had those past few years except this time I felt such fear I can't explain. I was almost to the main road and I could see my dad out on the lake fishing but I knew he wouldn't be able to save me. Everything in me said RUN 🏃‍♂️ . I ran back to the cabin at full speed, praying the whole time God please let me get back. I had to run about a mile and a half to get back. I never went by myself again. That feeling of fear was so overwhelming. A few years ago I was researching bigfoot and learned about the 3 knocks, that sound like 2 pieces of lumber knocked against each other. And thats what it sounded like. Anyway hope you enjoyed my story. 😀

WOW Chris ...that was probably the best story ( and interview ) you've ever had... you got him to talk and explain as much as possible, so we could better understand. And I've been in Minnesota decades ago as a child and then as an adult with my husband and children, staying at a campground,in a rented cabin ....we never saw anything but when we got several miles from our destination we stopped for cabin supplies for our stay. We got our food etc and the guy behind the counter asked us which camp we were going to and he said ok that road we would be on had several people reporting a creature running onto the roads and almost being hit...local law said warn folks in these areas. We proceeded to our cabin with nothing seen but we all ( three kids ) and husband and myself were very watchful the rest of the apx. 15 miles to the camp at night. We were in deer river Minnesota...not too far from Canada border....I had relatives in Duluth,deer river and grand rapids. Our vacation was uneventful. This was probably close to 50 years ago...( I'm 78 ) but as your interview story was about places I could almost see in my minds eye it brought back a lot of memories...thanks again Chris!

[@ramonataylor5174]

He mentioned it was like a Werewolf sound, his son mentioned it was tall & skinny.. Maybe Dogman??

[@unropednope4644]

"Dogman" isn't really credible as an undiscovered species among real and credible bigfoot researchers/investigators. It's far more likely that these witnesses, if their legit, are seeing a bigfoot/sasquatch subspecies or a deformity, etc. Bigfoot has credibility because theres literally thousands of sightings from credible witnesses combined with physical and audio evidence with tracks, vocalizations, stool, the PGF film, and hair. We can also find numerous writeups in historical newspapers dating back all the way to the 1800s about wildmen and "hairyman" and stories past down native American and Canadian groups. If dogman was real, common sense tells us that they would have been seen by people in the past and documented in papers just like with sasquatch. But the fact of the matter is dogman is a new phenomenon that only really came about in the 90s with the bray rd sightings. Before that, there's really nothing besides the typical werewolf stories.

[@teresacorrigan3076]

Dog men are scary?!?

[@CherylBuchanan-vq6bz]

It also could have been a skin walker which can take on many shapes and forms and they typically will try to coax you to come towards them and follow them. If you do start to go towards them and then stop they usually get impatient and will drop to the ground and start a very fast creepy Crawley pace across the ground. And they can appear as an injured person needing help or any kind of animal. Be very very careful when you come across this type of situation in the wilderness.

I can personally attest to Sasquatch near the St. Croix. Had my first (and only to date) Sasquatch experience just last November while camping just about a mile from the river. Didn’t see them but sure heard them. It was not threatening but they where curious. Something large on two feet walked through my camp site while I had sleep paralysis. Did not take anything. Earlier I heard coyote like howls. Then next day loud ground pounding. I plus I found a clam shell in the camp site placed very deliberately. I think they where just checking me out. Yes they are in the area. I think they like the river.

Happy to have your channel pop up this morning,interesting encounters with this interview, I m from Boston and retired in Florida community next to forest that goe on for miles,one morning I was walking my dog by the woods and an awful stench was coming from behind a house abutting the woods,first thing that came to mind was a report in the newspaper of a local girl going missing and thought it might have been her body,I went to check it out when this huge hairy guy stood up and looked at me,felt like it was reading my mind,it didn’t create fear in me, I was totally frozen in place looking at it, it clicked his teeth and went back into the woods,my dog was pulling me out of the trance, I continued my walk and there on the corner was a neighbor who asked me if I saw it,he said it was rummaging through the trash when he was on the way to work and came back to see it again, I asked him what it was ,he told me that it’s called a skunk ape,ever since I’ve been interested in researching all I can find about these forest people,kinda looked like Andre the giant wrestler to me. That thing is in my head now and can’t get rid of it. There’s amazing people who interact with them on their property if you looked,I’m always intrigued by the stories.

I grew up there in the seventies. About 3 miles from the Sunrise campground on the Minnesota side on a farm. We had woods on our property and was less than a mile from the river. Two times I was stopped in my tracks as I entered the woods due to overwhelming fear of immediate danger from an unknown entity. I ran home confused about what happened. I all but forgot about it until I started reading reports in the area on the Internet years later. Also a lot of people describe the exact same feeling prior to an encounter. So I can't help but feel that I avoided an encounter with a sasquatch by listening to my feelings twice in that valley. Also I had a dream when I was a preschooler that while in the woods with my dad a male and female adult sasquatch were watching as they looked over some bushes. I think it was dream.

Cool story and may I add; great choice of brew. In a world that in now inundated with some of the tastiest IPAs from some of the most interesting and resinous hops, there was time when there was no IPA and Sierra Nevada's was I think the first to be bottled for distribution at first just in NorCal. Before that, when it was still just being kegged for local consumption in Chico's favorite fern bar, Lasalle's in 1982, and my sweetheart lived up in the headwaters of the Feather River and she wanted to show me around Chico and of course introduce me to the then local brew a couple of glassblowers over at Orient and Flume were making as a side hustle.

My brother still lives in the UP and has seen Sasquatch four times near where he hunts and once in Ontario. It is a confusing subject. One thing I notice, like my dude wearing a fur coat thought, is the explanation used to describe events often are crazier than if you just take it for what it likely is.

Have a friend that grew up in Ely, MN, and he shared a story about his encounter with a Bigfoot. He was 15 and had been doing outside chores, he was coming around the side of his family house to the back door when there stood one looking into the kitchen window. He said he got a good look at before they both took off, it was the classic looking creature, 8-10 ft tall big broad shoulders dark hair.

[@EagleArrow]

​@@JoeReynolds-iw1snCreepy they get that close and look in windows. I heard one in my back yard after my lab sensed something strange. She froze looking straight ahead, until I said "what is it?"...she was so scared and ran back in the house. We broke sat down, ger on her dog bed and me on the sofa. Then heard a piercing howl, which levitated us and three booms on our pine trees. Next morning I went out and saw the bark missing about 5 or 6 feet up on 3 of our pine trees. Bark was laying at the trunk. BF must have hit them walking away mad. NC fires were going on at the time for weeks. This was in VA. Our neighborhood used to be a shallow swamp. So if they were traveling, they were all confused. A lot of new growth going on in our area.

@@natewilson111 I won't get into details but one night when I was leaving a friend's house out in the woods I was about 150 yards away from their driveway when a Bigfoot walked in front of my car and I slid to a stop about 3 feet away from hitting it. I quickly put the car in reverse and floored the gas pedal back to their driveway and drove across their lawn right up to their door and ran back inside their house. I explained what happened and ended up staying there until the next morning and everyone kept watching each window and both doors all night. Another time my 3 older brothers and I were in our garage working on my brother's truck when SOMETHING started rapidly pushing on and shaking the 16' wide fiberglass garage door. It pushed it in bad enough that it had to be replaced.

Steve is great but also check out Sasquatch Chronicles: excellent for actually hearing interviews of encounters. Also, really incredible is Subarctic Alaskan Sasquatch, Fred has an interactive map of sightings in Alaska and he retells encounters of people he has interviewed. For anyone who is skeptical, there is no longer any denying the amount of eye witness accounts. These things are real and we should all be asking "Why Are We Being Lied To" about them!?

Great story and love the detail. As a lifelong MN resident having a cabin in northern MN and living along the St.Croix since the mid 80’s I’ve seen and experienced a lot of weird things. I would love to see the property first hand since the experiences are happening 20 minutes from me. Now it seems like a big foot type encounter or with some of the stories even more so skin walker. Has any research been done on those 2 mounds to determine if they might be Native American burial mounds? That could explain some of this since the area is covered in rich Native American history.

This area that he’s describing (and lives) has a uniqueness to the woods and terrain, flora/fauna because although the St Croix River area isn’t remote/desolate, but it’s not a populated area, either. IMO, the atmosphere feels ancient and mysterious. The valleys/hills/prairies/forests in (nearly all of) eastern MN = relatively unchanged + untouched since Native American’s thrived here…THANK YOU for posting this interview. Because the St Croix area is well traversed + maintained yet still secluded, it only stands to reason that “entities or paranormal beings” would reside there, too!!

I was riding with my buddy driving slowly along the road that borders a small grassy airport in Northern Wisconsin. He looked over through my window and said" look at that",it was standing on the opposite side of the runway about 100 yards away. He said it was a horse . I said ," stop the truck" , it was a wolf! This thing was atleast 48 "s to the top of his spine ! He stood there and stared at us the entire time. Unbelievably creepy. So, the DNR wont admit that giant Canadian wolves have now inhabited Northern Wisconsin.

The story of the dark figure beckoning gave me the chills in a big way. I heard a similar story from a boyhood friend of mine many decades ago. He described the same thing happening to him, and he had the same visceral response to run and hide. He described the figure as impossibly tall and thin. He steadfastly refused to ever step foot in the woods again. I mentioned it to my grandfather at the time, and he thought it was probably a Wendigo. Absolutely gives me the creeps.

[@debraking1902]

I lived close to the river in Polk county WI. My daughter and I lived in the woods, we had dogs. We heard the most scary sound, 2 or 3 times, very loud but far away. If it weren’t for the bear chaser dogs hiding in fear I would have contributed it to anything other then what both my daughter and I think. I never heard that awful howl any other time in 15 years I lived there.

[@jeremygray2484]

I live in North Central Wisconsin. When I was a kid I saw something on an old logging trail/road. I was riding my bike and came around a bend and in the middle of the trail was a huge beast standing on 2 legs. People say I saw a black bear standing on its hind legs, but what threw me off was the fact it had weeds or something wrapped around its neck and draped over its shoulder. That and I could see the whites of its eyes. I was a kid of maybe 6 or 7 and scared damn shitless, in which I turned around abruptly and beelined back to my grandmothers. That wooded area is now a residential area and has been for some time, but for damn near 40 years, I'm still not sure what I saw, but I don't believe it was a bear.

A buddy and I were hiking near voyagers park back in January of 2019. We made it about a mile along the shoreline of a lake following a packed down snowmobile track. As we came around a point both of us froze, looked at each other and simultaneously said it was time to head back. We both felt something was watching us from the thick timber on shore. As we head back to the truck, about 200 yards from where we turned around, I notice a wolf track imprinted into our boot tracks from the walk out on to the lake. Turned around again to see where the track stopped and we found the exact spot it jumped from the snowmobile track into the deep snow and up into the timber. Never seen the wolf but we sure felt it
