Multiple years of wood knocking and primate-like behavior described by a soldier hunting near Manistee
Account
In October 2004 the witness was bow hunting from a stand when gibberish-like vocal sounds and running were heard in the pines. A doe ran in front of the stand staring north, then a short huh sound, silence, deep sniffing and slow deliberate movement with snapping twigs circled to the northeast and east as the doe fled. The source was never seen.
