Interesting report from McHenry County, Illinois in 2013. Here is the report: “I woke up on the 18th as I did almost every a.m. at the same time.

Except at that time I smoked, I quit since then. But at 3:30 a.m. I stepped outside on my back patio to have my morning smoke and coffee. When I looked up towards my neighbors above ground pool I saw it, him walking from the corner of their house towards the pool on the north west side of it. And it was tall, I would say maybe 7-7and a half feet tall and muscular.

It wasn’t huge but very tall, but muscular. Like a younger one. That’s why I call him the youngster. He’s curious. Anyway he hit the pool with his right hand as he was heading towards the only set of tree’s around. Which is my neighbors to the north of me. i went up stairs in my son’s bathroom to look out the window and he must of saw me and didn’t like me watching him because he threw something at the house, so I stopped watching him.He was a darker color, I would say almost black but a little lighter. I don’t think he thought anybody should be awake at that time in the morning. Because it seems almost like I not scared him but we both did not expect to see each other that a.m.”

The interesting part about this report is two years earlier a track was found and investigated. There seems to be a lot going on near Algonquin, Illinois. Here is that report:

“It was Thursday morning February 3, 2011, the blizzard had finally stopped dumping some 3 to 4 feet of snow with drifts much higher. Mary had a snow day off from school. She gets up and her husband immediately starts to joke with her about having to use the outhouse located in their back yard.

This plastic outhouse was left over from a big party held many years before and it was never picked up by the company, so it sits there and is used sometimes during the summer. So he was kidding her about having to use this outhouse so bad and during the worst blizzard in many, many years.

She asked why was he saying that? He said to take a look at the tracks someone left going through their back yard, starting at their patio on the side of the unattached garage, then heading south going towards the outhouse and then continuing on to the point that the tracks could not be seen anymore. They do have a chain link fence that spans the whole width of the back yard along the path. It seemed strange that ANYONE would be out walking in that blizzard and especially crossing their yard, very strange but they thought nothing more of it.

They eventually went outside and dug themselves out of big drifts up against the house and opening up a sidewalk that leads from the back door to the unattached garage…giving the tracks no further thoughts.

Now its March and Mary and Sarah and myself are having our usual Saturday morning breakfast. I was telling them about the BFRO site and of the pictures of bigfoot tracks in the snow following deer tracks. Well, Mary’s eyes got real big and she said “Oh my gosh, so thats what those track were”. Of course, we encouraged her to tell us her story.

A few weeks later Sarah and I went to Mary’s house after breakfast and took some pictures. By now the snow is all gone but we were able to see the outhouse and its relationship to the patio. We did notice that the chain link fence was pushed down but that did not look like a new happening. I asked Mary how long has that fence been that way and she did not know…just did not pay attention to it…this part of the fence was in the very south west corner of their lot, well behind the outhouse with lots of trees covering the path itself.

At our breakfast as she was telling us her story we tried to think of what animal (besides a human, maybe) could make tracks like that. There are lots of deer in the area, perhaps some coyote, but we could not think of what or who in their right mind would walk in 3 or 4 foot deep snow, not make any drag marks in the middle of a blizzard??

Mary and her husband did not take any pictures, darn, their minds were just not into thinking about a tall 7-10 foot creature walking down their driveway (which had been plowed) stopping at the edge of the patio, then walking across their yard, head towards the outhouse and then continue on and most likely leaped over the fence and onto the Prairie Path. It was our theory that perhaps the outhouse had enough of an odor to draw the attention of a sasquatch on its way to somewhere????

I hope I have remembered things correctly…I was really hoping that Mary would do this report herself, but apparently she has some fears on telling the story accurately, I don’t know. As I said Stan has spoken to Mary at length and perhaps can add some more details.”
