Former Michigan native recalls possible activity near National City

BFRO YEAR: 1988? - 2003 National City, Iosco County, Michigan 2 witnesses

Account

When the witness was about nine, she was walking with an older neighbor girl in the back portion of family property. Something nearby growled loudly at them, and after they walked about 200 feet into the front pasture it growled and shrieked again. The companion looked, exclaimed, then grabbed the witness and ran with her to the house. The witness never learned what the companion may have seen, and the companion never walked there with her again.
