Maybe it's that reports spawn more reports. One can't hold an anecdote in their hand the way they could a bone or body part.

Best Christmas Wishes and a Happy New Year to all of you here on BFF MagniAesir, his wife, Thomas Steenburg, myself, and Magni's cousin and her boyfriend, Katie and Dan, from New Zealand had a great day out on the Harrison West FSR today. Magni had asked Thomas and I to take the visitors out for the day and show them some sighting areas, tell them some of the history of Sasquatch in the region, and have an afternoon cookout, and we agreed, as we're always up for some free food and drink. The day had some interesting twists, as we ran into fairly heavy snowfall about 10 km up the FSR, and by 26 km it was deep enough for us to call a turn around, as neither Magni nor I had chains along. It seems that young Dan had never experienced snow before, so we treated him to his first ever snowball fight, then gave him a break to build Katie a snowman. By the time that was done, I found that the snow under my TrailBlazer had iced up enough that the truck wouldn't move, even in 4WD, just spun in the ruts it had melted into as it sat while we played, so he then got to push a snowbound SUV for the first time, too. On our way back to km 0, we pulled into the day use picnic area at the Weaver Lake turnoff, for a campfire and a lunch of smokies and chips. As Thomas and Magni got the fire going, Dan took Katie for a walk to the nearby lakeshore, and they came back a few minutes later, with Katie flashing a big smile, and a big diamond on her finger! Dan had popped the question on our little adventure trip, and she'd said "YES". It turns out that Magni and his wife were in on it, but it certainly caught Katie by surprise, as well as Thomas and I. A bottle of bubbly magically appeared, a toast was drunk, and we sat around the blazing fire till well after dark, before heading back to town. I was delighted to have been a part of the young couple's wonderful day, and I'm still grinning about it as I type this. What a great start to the Holidays!!!

A friend of mine had something like that happen at her house near Stillwater. It was at about 2:AM on a summer night. Not only did something hit the house really hard (waking her and her mother up) without leaving damage, she heard three very powerful wood knocks, one on the tree right outsider her window. She said it was so powerful it shook the whole tree, which was considerably taller than her house. The other wood knocks were just up the gully from her house and seemed to be answering in very short succession from the first. Prior to that she had no particular opinion about BF. After that she began investigating, and due to an additional experience camping out on the St. Croix, has come to the conclusion they really are around. There was a video that was shot on a cell phone only a few miles from her location. The only source of it I have found is from the old FB/FB site, which is kind of frustrating to watch, but the scrubs of the video do show a compliant gait. http://www.citypages.com/news/bigfoot-sighting-in-minnesota-woods-video-6534859
