According to Central Minnesota Urban Legends, the most infamous encounter with the Hairy Man came from Ken Zitzow. Zitzow returned from driving in the woods one night with dents in his car hood, which he claimed were caused by the Hairy Man jumping in front of the vehicle and pounding on it. Another encounter came from Cheryl Hanson, who claimed to have seen the Hairy Man as a kid: "We were snowmobiling around and around this old cabin we found, and all of a sudden, a beast-like creature popped out of the cabin holding a huge stick. It had very broad shoulders and I was trying to rationalize what it was, but what really stood out to me, is it was barefoot in the snow." Photo credit City of Vergas, MN
