I agree that to a young boy, other things seem larger or more exagerated than they really are. I am from the area of all these sighting, so this interests me quite a bit. Yet growing up around here with nothing but land around a lot of peoples homes and most kids growing up with dogs, I find myself leaning twards the reasoning that a young boy these days just may be used to a dog sized animal and if they lived close to the woods have probably seen dog sized creatures before. If they were mistaken regular creatures for “monsters” then they would be reporting these things all the time and their parents would most likely brush most things off. Sometimes kids see things. Sometimes, I think, that we need to believe them. I cant say for sure what they may or may not have seen, but perhaps I am giving them the benifit of the doubt.

A bear is a very reasonable assumption, although like I said before, children exaggerate. My little cousin told me one time that there was a spider in his room as big as his hand. When I went to investigate, it was a daddy long legs, and although scary to a kid, was far from the size of his hand. I am not saying that their report is to be dismissed, just saying that this has to be kept in mind when weighing this sighting. A coyote or large dog in the right lighting lurking at the edge of the woods? I feel an overactive imagination could very easily blow this out of proportion and that this possibility is not entirely far fetched.

Unless they live in a suburb of a city, they would jolly well know dog or coyote from “big hairy monster”

Now bear, I live in Rochester, Minnesota, and there was a black bear living in the southern parts of the city for some time, this summer. It wasn’t widely published (gotta keep people coming here to spend money dontcha know) but I know people who saw it, and it was a matter for caution for people living here.

So, sure could have been a bear. Or even a wolverine. There was one photographed by the security camera last year a few miles north of here at the Ford dealership in Zumbrota.

A few years ago in eastern Iowa there was a “black creature” that was killing dogs. It wasn’t a Nape, it was on all fours. Since bears come down every few years or so, I’m thinking that that was likely a wolverine, too.

That is an outstanding read, thank you Linda. I just had a thought. With it being hunting season and Bow hunting having been going on for quite some time, the population of Deer in the area would be becoming scarce… which I would asume drive anything that may require this as food to find, well, other means of aquiring what it needs. Even if it takes becoming more bold as to retrieve a carcase from the side of the road, or taking them out of the back of a pickup. I would asume that could also cause this to become more bold as to wander into areas more densly populated by humans, which would account for more sightings recently. Hmm… just a though.

Actually, someone did go look for prints, its chronicled on my update page at cnb-scene.com on the brayupdate and braybearwolf pages. A local hunter who has permission to be on the private adjoining land tracked something for over a mile to where it disappeared in a swamp. He said the impressions were smaller than his (average size) own bootprints but much larger than a dog or wolf, and deep enough to be heavier than he is (around 170 pounds), also spaced wider than a human would walk, in bipedal formation. None were clear enough to get a cast from as it was marshy grass.

My comment is the same as I posted on the previous sighting blog.

If its not a bear and its not Bigfoot… Then what else could it be? Anyone ever hear of the Bray Road Beast, in Wisconsin? Perhaps it has migrated to Washington and nearby counties. Krueger said he saw “pointy ears”. Holy Hill has old folks tales of the Goat Man as well. I just thought I would throw that idea out there. Something else I am curious of… The report gives an exact location of where he saw this “creature” and no one has gone to this spot to look for tracks or footprints or any evidence that some sort of large creature was present? “7 feet tall and wide” would leave some interesting impressions in the ground. Then again I suppose that it has been cold and we had a large rain and snow storm that Friday after.

I agree with lorelady too.

How do they jump to Bigfoot?

Like I guess quite a few on here, I saw the video news of these two children yesterday from the link on this site.

And I don’t see why the “Big Hairy Monster,” keeps being turned into Bigfoot by so many articles and reporters. I thought reporter report the facts, and not put words in the babe’s mouths.

Yeah, I’m going to keep an open mind on this but not jump to any conclusions just yet. I’m not saying the kids are lying, but children are notorious for overexagerrating what they see. It could be a lot of things, but if it is indeed a large, potentially dangerous animal, they should probably get some forestry people over there to check it out if they haven’t already. Would you want to take a chance with your kids jumping outside on a trampoline? I sure wouldn’t.

I agree Lorelady.
There is no description of the creature. Besides, children’s immaginations run wild sometimes and things seem bigger and scarier than what they really are.
Who was never affraid of monsters in the closet or under the bed?
I’m sure they saw something, but was it really as big as they said?
Maybe if we had a full description, we could assume it might be Bigfoot or some other cryptid.
