Remer, Minnesota - Home of the Bigfoot

As you can see, this picture is infallible proof of bigfoot….

A little history of Remer Minnesota. It started as a logging camp in the 1800s. They used the Willow River to move the lumber down stream. The town grew as the industry grew. The Soo Line Railroad would make its way into town helping the town continue to grow. William P. Remer was the town’s first postmaster and general store owner. In 1904, William incorporated the town and named it Remer and declared a township.

One reason the myth of Bigfoot lives in Remer, Minnesota is the fact that the towns founder describes having seen tracks. They were described as “Much bigger than a man’s and sunk deep in the earth.” Visual sightings were common as long ago as the late 1800’s.

People describe seeing families, including children. People would ask each other things like “Have you seen Bigfoot today?” as casually as you might talk about the weather. People even knew that the southeast corner of Big Sand Lake was where Bigfoot would nest and try to avoid it to give them their peace. They were treated like neighbors.

As the forests were cut away  through the 1920’s and 1930’s, Bigfoot sightings greatly decreased in the area around Remer, Minnesota… Until recently.
