I can see your skeptisism runs high Darhop. So then all the eyewitnesses in West Virginia are liars? Or the sightings in London. When you have that many eye witness accounts, it’s hard for anyone with an open mind discredit. I agrees they sighting should have been reported upon first seeing it. Also from the witnesses standpoint, He probably figured no onw would believe him. Since the radio show offered a platform for discussion, he may have felt more at ease to share his sighting. I’ve been researching this topic alot lately. The Mothman, or what ever else you want to call it, has been reported over the Nuclear plant in Chernoble, before the melt down, and Reports of the same from 1926 in China before a Damn gave way killing thousands. I think some creature does exist, it’s origin, I have no idea, Some say it’s a mutated species from the bio hazard im West Virginia, That wouldn’t account for the 1926 sighting.

Now that we’ve had all this flooding this week in southeastern MN, it will be interesting to see if anything crazy gets washed up (skeletons, etc).

What you heard about the black bear was true. One of the guys on our department caught it on his squad video about 2 to 2 1/2 years ago, just to the SE of town. I saw the video but wish I could have seen it in person!

I also live in Rochester, and got gas in Stewartville, yesterday.

I haven’t heard of any of these things, either.

We do have the occasional bald eagle, egrets and herons.

I’ve heard of a black bear with cub in the southern parts of town. I’ve heard of the wolverine caught on a security camera at the Ford dealership in Zumbrota. I know about the cougars a couple hours west of here near Mankato. I’ve heard that coyotes are in town. Racoons live in the storm sewers. Deer are called “big rats” by the local farmers, there’s so many of them.

But I’ve never heard of these things. Of course, I do miss some local news, as I just use the internet for info.

As wide as a Ford” A Ford -what-? And along the length or the width? Makes a big difference.

My not having heard of any of this is by no means conclusive, I’d take the officer’s knowledge a lot more seriously, but it sure is interesting to have things happening right where I live.

The sightings in SE Minnesota are interesting. I am a cop here in Rochester, Minnesota, and I was born and raised here (34 yrs old) on a farm NE of Rochester, between Rochester and a small town named Elgin. Attended public school in Rochester. I have never heard of the Bigfoot sighting along Highway 52, and I have never heard of the skeletons in Chatfield. I will have to research this.

Incidentally, I also lived in the Cities (St. Paul suburbs of West St. Paul and Cottage Grove) for 9 years, and my wife still drives to Minneapolis on Hwy 52, 3 days a week from Rochester, and we both are on Hwy 52 all the time. Have never seen anything out of the ordinary.

This whole incident has caused me to keep an open ear about local bridges here in my town. One, the Jimmie Davis, is in very bad appearance and now carries a far greater load than ever intended.

I agree that any reported sighting made after the fact with the associated event is suspect.

I also found the mention of Chatfield, MN interesting. I once knew a man who lived in a one room cabin near Chatfield. He was a self taught wildlife artist with extraordinary abilities. He specialized in birds. His drawing were so realistic it would have made John James Audubon do cartwheels.

Yes I agree with any new report will always be looked at as skeptical after this bridge collapse. As fas as the MM Comm. with humans I could be wrong but I thought that was just something added in the movie (Mothman Prophecies).
