Deep in the tangled backroads of Minnesota’s Vergas Trails, something ancient and furious still walks barefoot through the pines. For over fifty years, locals have spoken in hushed tones of the Hairy Man—an eight-foot, musk-drenched giant that dents car hoods like tin cans, chases snowmobiles through blizzards, and locks eyes with terrified witnesses before vanishing into the bog.
From the thunderous 1966 attack that left Ken Zitzow’s Ford crumpled and his nerves shattered, to a twelve-year-old Cheryl Hanson outrunning a roaring nightmare on a frozen trail, to a mysterious human-like skull pulled from the Klondike swamp, the legend only grows darker.
Is it a feral hermit defending his territory? A family of Sasquatches stalking Otter Tail County? Or something older that the forest itself refuses to name?
Join Gary & GoldieAnn as they venture Within the Mists of Minnesota… because on the Vergas Trails, every rustle in the trees might just be the Hairy Man of Vergas Trail waiting for his next set of headlights.
