Class B First-hand BFRO #7800

Odd sounds and animal behavior from the forest cause woman concern

July 2000 6:30-7:30pm with natural light Lovells, Crawford County, Michigan 1 witness

Account

In summer 2000 the witness arrived at friends' secluded, wooded residence near Lovells in early evening to find no one home. While sitting outside, the witness heard movement in the woods and heavy grunt-like vocalizations, initially considering coyotes or a bear. Feeling unnerved, the witness left and returned later, and the residents jokingly attributed the sounds to a local Bigfoot and mentioned their own prior unexplained experiences.
