Possible late afternoon road crossing north of Ransom

5 September 2014 around 4:30pm Ransom, Hillsdale County, Michigan 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving on a rural road in the afternoon when a large bipedal creature crossed the road ahead from west to east. The creature moved very quickly into dense woods and had disappeared by the time the witness reached the crossing point. The witness later noted flattened grass where it entered the woods and said it looked like no known human or animal.
