The Hibbing Monster

Reporter Aaron Brown is hoping to boost the fortunes of his hometown of Hibbing, Minnesota by propagating "a mysterious local legend to drum up economic development for the region." As he points out, it's worked for other places. Case in point: I'm off to Loch Ness next week solely because of some murky legend of a sea serpent. So what kind of monster should lurk around Hibbing? What about a 1000lb wild hog? No, that's already been done. But Minnesota does already have the Iceman, so maybe they could play that up a bit.

Yeah, Robert Zimmerman is from Hibbing, MN... about as mysterious and local and legendary as anything else. For those that don't know, Google the name.

Well, Crookston already tried to do that with their "Bigfoot" but the museum never got off the ground.
