Sasquatch sighting near Midland County (1978)
Account
The guest and her step-cousin rode a single minibike down a wooded trail into a sandy turnaround clearing. Above tall bushes ahead they saw a large dark head with huge dark eyes watching them motionlessly. The driver tipped the bike, both quickly righted it and fled without looking back, later confirming with each other what they had seen.
