Class A First-hand BFRO #46401

Multiple incidents including rock throwing at a rural cabin near Kalkaska

7 July 2014 about 9 pm to about 10 pm, just after sunset Kalkaska, Kalkaska County, Michigan 2 witnesses

Account

After other family members left the cabin for the evening, a father and his adult son stayed to clean the cabin exterior when stones began landing around them. They retreated inside as stones continued to strike the cabin on multiple sides. The father then saw a large dark figure run bipedally across the driveway, and impacts on the cabin walls continued late into the night.
