Harvey Postmistress Catherine Van Waardhuizen was driving to her home near an old railroad trestle near Harvey on Feb. 20, 1978, when she spied what the newspapers described as 20-inch-long, eight-inch-wide foot prints in the deep snow. She went on home and told her son and daughter-in-law, Jill and Jerry Van Waardhuizen, and their two daughters about the tracks.

The skeptical Jill and Jerry Van Waardhuizen took their daughters to see the foot prints and were surprised by three-foot distance between the prints, the absence of boot treads in the tracks and the lack of scuff marks in the snow where a foot should have dragged when taking a step.

Jill Van Waardhuizen said she could not explain the tracks. If someone made the tracks as a hoax, she said, he would have had to walk on stilts to get through the deep snow in such long strides while leaving so few skuff marks between the tracks.

According to a report in the Knoxville Journal under the headline "Does a 'Bigfoot' prowl through the woods near Harvey? Cliff Worthington, also of Harvey, followed the tracks further, and found where the track-maker had crossed a high barbed-wire fence and a place at the base of the railroad bridge where it looked like the creature had lain down to rest. There was even a packed patch of snow that appeared to have been made by the head of whatever it was as it lay there.

Shirley McCombs of Harvey later found a tuft of hair on the barbed wire where the track-maker had hurdled the fence.

Yet another Harvey resident, Glen Visser, called by the Knoxville Journal "the most determined tracker," took up the trail carrying his .22 rifle, but gave up after concluding he was following the tracks the wrong way. Visser said he became confused by the deep and blowing snow.

He said he would rather believe it was some big human out walking. "One tracker isn't offering opinions," the newspaper said of Visser.

Other area residents reported personal encounters with a Bigfoot and Matt Ver Steeg, a KNIA announcer and southern Iowa director of Bigfoot Research Inc., was quoted that there had been earlier Bigfoot sightings near Oskaloosa and Pella. The Journal said Ver Steeg said he had personally met a Bigfoot.
