Class A First-hand BFRO #29409

Woman remembers childhood sighting near Rogers City

May 1967 late afternoon in bright sunshine Rogers City, Presque Isle County, Michigan 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and an older sister rode bikes along a road beside a dense wooded lot. They stopped after noticing a dark stump-like shape in the middle of the lot and, when wind moved long hair, realized it was a large hairy figure sitting cross-legged apparently asleep. They described a flat apelike face and long limbs and fled quickly to their house where they told a parent. They said they avoided the road and thicket afterward.
