Bigfoot in Iowa (Case #1) The Ottosen Bigfoot Sightings of 1978

Probably one of the biggest stories in Iowa Bigfoot Sighting History - is the 1978 Ottosen, Iowa Bigfoot Sightings - so much that the Des Moines Register, and several other news outlets covered the story for years!

What makes these Bigfoot sightings so unique is the number of witnesses and stories that come together to point at something "bigger" at work behind the scenes. - Of course, there are some who vouge that it was all a hoax.

Regardless if you are a believer or a skeptic - the story still remains - and sheds more questions than answers at this point. What do you think? Is there Bigfoot in Iowa?
