Incident #991527
Starks, Oneida Cty, Wisconsin
1977
Account
Unnamed man, friend of Tom Kelley and Gene Baade, and the man's son, were hunting. As they walked parallel they determined that someone else was walking in between them, but could get no response from the third party, so the man crossed over to join his son and they went ahead together. Shortly they came to a clearing and saw a huge creature take its last few bipedal steps into the spruce trees on the other side.
