First-hand Bigfoot Society EP 490

Sasquatch sighting near Ferndale, Michigan (1990)

1990–1999 around 2 a.m. Ferndale, Michigan 1 witness

Account

As a teenager the witness did nightly training runs from home to a large hill in woods, where he would shout. On a cold, windy, bright night he shouted, started back, and his dog ran past him. He then saw a large hairy figure moving in the woods by a parking lot that charged toward him under a street light. Frozen with fear, he fled home, hid silently under windows, and called a friend to take him away. He later returned with his brother and found nothing.
