Class A First-hand BFRO #20100

Daylight sighting by hunters near Gwinn (Upper Peninsula)

Fall 1990 evening, a couple hours before sunset GWINN, Marquette County, Michigan 2 witnesses

Account

Two occupants driving slowly west on a rural road in daylight noticed a tall hairy human-like figure emerge from roadside trees. The figure crossed the road in one or two strides and entered the forest on the opposite side where it was lost from view. The driver braked but continued past the crossing point without stopping, so no tracks or other sign were recovered.
