(1/3) In 1960, Minnesota man, Frank Hansen, ended up shooting a bigfoot-like creature while hunting. After years of hiding the body in his freezer, he gets the idea to tour this "ice man" as a fair attraction.

Finally, we get to add this to the paranormal library. Of course, this is quintessential reading for any fan of high strangeness. We will be taking notes from this for our future cases.

The big muddy monster was an obscure flap of sightings of a bigfoot like creature near the big muddy river in the 1970s. We picked up this book during one of our first field investigations of souther Illinois.

3 boys riding their bikes spotted a creature in an abandoned sale barn on the outskirts of Ottosen. They decide to throw a rock, stirring up what was inside. They then see an Ape-like face appear. The boys run in terror! As the creature takes off into a cornfield.

Revisiting this oldy. Love the way Robert Morgan approaches field work. I've never been a fan of some of the more obnoxious bigfooting techniques.

We had a lot of fun putting together a zine based on some of the early wildman stories from #iowa. In 1899, a gorilla like creature was sighted in Ringgold and into Union County.
