Man recounts two experiences with bigfoot while camping in the Lower Peninsula
Account
The witness and two children were camping late at night beside a bonfire when an animal reportedly rushed past from behind. All three heard an extremely loud scream or roar, and two of them briefly saw the creature before it was gone. The witness described feeling paralyzed or hazy while the children fled to their van. Twisted trees were later noted on a nearby trail.
