Description of several strange encounters along Sleeping Bear Dunes National Shoreline

Account

Late at night the witness and a companion were in a boat on a lake when large rocks began splashing in the water near them. After several close splashes they heard loud splashing steps running away along the shoreline on two legs. They started the boat and left, stating the forested swamp shoreline was not accessible to people and the cause was not human or fish.
