Class B First-hand BFRO #21916

Possible Evening Encounter by Woman on Horseback near Union

1960–1969 late evening Union, Cass County, Michigan 1 witness

Account

The witness was riding a horse alone on a forested trail in the late evening while working as a camp horse instructor. When the horse became spooked and ran with its reins loose, she saw a large white-colored figure moving parallel to her among the trees. The figure was about as tall as she was on horseback and kept pace with the running horse for a short time, leaving her frightened for hours.
