Incident #991515
Bruce, Rusk Cty, Wisconsin
about 1962
Account
Three boys heard a blood-curdling scream, looked out of their tent and saw the same huge, hairy creature with a strong odour (1514). It ran and they chased it on their bikes, but could not keep up. Again it made a gesture of attack when they followed.
