I cannot prove that Bigfoot is responsible for these events, but I have also not found an ordinary explanation that accounts for everything I experienced on the property.

My first encounter with a Bigfoot happened when I was about 9 or 10 years old in East Dubuque, Illinois, near a campground my family visited regularly.

The campsite was only a few blocks from our house, but reaching it meant traveling down a road that passed a lake, an old radio shack, several houses, and a stretch of woods that had remained much the same for decades.

Beyond the campground, the forest extended along the river with thick tree cover and areas that were difficult to reach on foot.

We had barely reached the area near the shack when headlights appeared on the road.

We feared that someone had heard the gunfire and was coming to investigate.

An East Dubuque police officer eventually drove down toward the campground after receiving reports of shots being fired.

We stayed out of sight and made our way toward my friend's house by another route.

gosh.

The one town here on the river is East Dubuque, and the bars in Dubuque close at 2 a.m., which you can't easily access the bars in Dubuque from the river.

But from East Dubuque, it's pretty... pretty easy.

Or it was at one time.

And they don't close until 3, so you get an extra hour across the river.

So a lot of people would be in Dubuque drinking, and they would leave the bar at close, and then they would go across the river, drive to East Dubuque, and close East Dubuque down at 3-8.

Oh my gosh.

I would have totally done that too.

The city has also not announced any specific plans for redevelopment of the property once the building is removed.

An East Dubuque man faces multiple felony charges following a nearly six-month investigation into child sexual abuse material.

58-year-old Chad Fieferlik was indicted October 9th on eight counts of possession of child sexual abuse material and one count of failing to register as a sex offender.

According to the Jo Daviess County Sheriff's Office, the investigation began in April after authorities received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
