Vocalization near Glennie, Michigan (1983)

13 November 1983 afternoon, around 3 p.m., fading daylight Glennie, Michigan 1 witness

Account

The witness, a police officer at the time, was staying alone at his family's remote hunting cabin near Glennie, Michigan, doing chores and hunting prep. Over several days he felt watched and heard strange breathy vocalizations, heavy footsteps retreating, and a loud boom. When walking to the outhouse in mid-afternoon fading light, a very tall hairy human-like creature stepped from behind the outhouse and faced him about 30 feet away, vocalizing powerfully. After a tense standoff in which the witness touched his pistol and the creature tensed, it looked away and ran into dense woods, breaking saplings.
