Class A First-hand BFRO #25622

Two men see a bigfoot cross a road near Rose City

1997–1998 late night Rose City/lupton, Oscoda County, Michigan 2 witnesses

Account

After helping at another house, the witness and a companion drove home through wooded roads late at night. Their headlights caught a very large, tall, dark-brown figure running across the road about 40 to 50 feet away. In a few long strides it disappeared into the woods, and the frozen ground left no tracks to examine.
