I have been a Bigfoot researcher in the state of Minnesota for over 30 years, dedicated to the pursuit of a giant hairy upright walking manlike or apelike creature that keeps being encountered by scores of people year after year but has even more people scoffing and insisting that it can not and does not exist.

What a surprise it was near the end of 2019 to find that there was a place in Minnesota a three hours’ drive from my home in the city of Moorhead (sister city to Fargo, North Dakota) where there was reported to be a consistent and perhaps even permanent Bigfoot presence within a few square miles of private property.

Hands down, it quickly became the single most intense Bigfoot case I have ever investigated. This is the story of my first-hand experiences, interviews with witnesses, and subsequent research that would follow from these encounters.

This book is a representation of every visual image I have been able to acquire that has been claimed as evidence of the sasquatch at one time or another. Many more filming cases are presented in written form only where the picture described was unavailable. Every last case involving filming that is personally known to me at this time is included here, though I’m sure there are still more that have eluded me.

I have included the opinions of both myself and others about these pictures, but in the end, it is you who must decide - is the photographic medium convincing enough to act as final proof for the existence of sasquatch? Some say yes, while others insist that only a body dead or alive will be acceptable. But either way, I have always had one all-encompassing viewpoint when it comes to photos and films of any unexplained phenomenon, including sasquatch: In the long run, if they're not good enough to act as the final proof... does it really matter if they’re real or fake?

This book tells the story of my own investigations in my home state of Minnesota.

Every report that I am personally aware of at this time for Minnesota and the Dakotas is included here. Many are of a more-or-less conventional nature (man sees sasquatch, sasquatch runs away) while others are downright bizarre, but all are true to the best of my knowledge, and I believe they prove the existence of the beast I saw along that forest highway all those years ago.

In this book, I will present a memoir of the continuation of a Minnesota Bigfoot researcher's 30-year journey since the publication of my last books, as well as my thoughts and observations on other aspects of the whole Bigfoot field.

There is a chapter on the Minnesota Iceman case, which actually has only a tenuous connection to the state but which I felt it my responsibility to investigate, and also one on the famous California Patterson-Gimlin film which I am fascinated with and have delved into because of my deep interest in Bigfoot photos and films even though I am an outsider.

I hope you, the reader, will both enjoy this account and be able to learn something.
