Class B First-hand BFRO #8351

Father describes possible late night vocalizations heard by his boys near Willis

19 June 1999 about 1:30 AM Willis, Washtenaw County, Michigan 3 witnesses

Account

Three boys holding a late-night bonfire heard loud screams that seemed to move around the yard from west to north to east. The sounds started high-pitched and dropped into a low growl, frightening the boys so they ran inside. The witness, awakened afterward, went outside with a light but found no source, and a morning search also found nothing.
