Class A First-hand BFRO #5321

Having morning coffee and looking out the window, man sees tall black "ape" walking in his woods

February 1999 morning Kingston, Tuscola County, Michigan 1 witness

Account

The witness was having morning coffee at home with his wife and looking into the woods behind the house. He claims a tall, pitch-black ape-like figure walked from south to north in view for about twenty feet, erect but leaning slightly forward with long arms swinging. His wife did not see it, and he found no footprints in the scant snow on frozen ground.
