Farmers record interesting vocalizations west of Clare

2011–2012 11pm, dark and clear night Isabella County, Michigan 3 witnesses

Account

The witness reports repeatedly hearing unfamiliar sounds at a central Michigan farm over the prior summer, often while doing outdoor animal chores at night with two other people. The sounds included howls, wood knocking, deep guttural noises, whoops, and indistinct talking-like vocals, which the witness recorded and felt matched published bigfoot recordings.
