Woman recalls her early morning sighting of a sasquatch east of Brimley

August 1999 around 2am BRIMLEY, Chippewa County, Michigan 1 witness

Account

Around 2 a.m. while driving on a remote road near Hiawatha National Forest toward Brimley, the witness saw a reddish-brown hunched creature with very long arms cross the road in front of the car. The witness flashed the headlights and watched it continue into the woods. A minute or two later a tire went flat, and the witness continued to Brimley and spent the night in the car until the tire could be repaired in the morning.
