Class B First-hand BFRO #36355

Possible paralleling described and tall figure seen at night south of Mt. Pleasant

Summer 2012 roughly 11:30 PM, dark night Montcalm County, Michigan 5 witnesses

Account

A group walking back to a cottage late at night on a dirt road through dense woods heard something large paralleling them. They stopped and watched a very tall, light-colored illuminated figure moving in a small circle near a mailbox, heard a short powerful grunt, and then saw reddish eyes watching from the woods. The eyes retreated deeper, dropped low and disappeared while the group returned to the cottage.
