Class A First-hand BFRO #25031

Bird hunter surprises a resting sasquatch near Curtisville

October 2008 2pm Glennie, Oscoda County, Michigan 1 witness

Account

The witness was hunting grouse along a cedar swamp when a strong foul smell led to noticing a hairy animal lying about 30 yards away. The witness struck a tree with a fallen limb, after which the animal stood upright and ran away upright through the woods with loud crashing. The witness then examined a cleared, scraped bedding area by a fallen tree and took unclear phone photos.
