Class A First-hand BFRO #35387

Late afternoon sighting by two brothers near Baldwin

15 July 2006 about a half hour before sunset Baldwin, Lake County, Michigan 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion got lost while walking on trails near a cabin and headed for the main road to get their bearings. On the road they saw a huge black hair-covered figure about forty to fifty feet away that at first looked like a man. After exchanging looks, the figure sprinted away on two feet across the road into the woods, moving much faster than a human.
