First-hand Oregon Bigfoot #1522

Former police officer has encounter in the woods.

12 October 2004 about 9 a.m. and late that night Seney, Schoolcraft County, Michigan 2 witnesses

Account

The witness was hunting grouse in the morning when he noticed a strong musk odor and moss disturbed as if by something walking on two legs with a very long stride, then left after feeling watched. Late that night at a tent camp, he and a relative heard heavy footsteps approach and make a half-circle around camp before going silent after the relative spoke. The witness reports seeing nothing and suggests the source may have tracked him to the camp.
