A chilling account of a possible Bigfoot encounter in Iowa has been shared on the YouTube channel, Bigfoot Encounters Narrated. The witness, Shannon Morgan, describes his encounters with a Bigfoot during his newspaper delivery route in Eldridge, Scott County, Iowa in February 1981. According to Morgan, he had a feeling of being watched and followed for a week prior to discovering the large footprints in the snow. The footprints were about 6 to 8 inches wide and 24 inches long, with five toes on each foot, resembling a human footprint but much larger. Morgan followed the tracks and noticed that they came from the northeast side of the woods, cut through people's backyards, and exited the southwest side of town. The encounter took a terrifying turn when Morgan heard a horrifying scream from the creature while delivering newspapers with his father. The scream was so loud that it shook the car, but his father did not hear it because the heater blower and radio were on. Morgan was so terrified that he decided to quit his newspaper delivery route. Morgan's second encounter with a Bigfoot occurred in the fall of 1986, while driving down a gravel road in the southern Rocky Mountains of southern New Mexico. A creature ran across the road in front of his car, and his girlfriend saw it too. The sighting and scream from the first encounter have stayed with him until this day. The video also mentions a Bigfoot sighting in Buchanan County, Iowa, in 2006, which is about 30 miles northwest from an area where Morgan hunts. A farmer who raises cattle and rents pasture land on the farm that Morgan hunts heard a horrifying scream while checking on his cattle. Morgan has not seen any evidence of Bigfoot activity in the area but has his suspicions. The witness's account is a chilling reminder that Bigfoot sightings are not limited to the Pacific Northwest. The video is a must-watch for any Bigfoot enthusiast, and the witness's bravery in sharing his story is commendable. The
