Huge rocks thrown at night fishermen on Jewell Lake

The witness and a companion were night fishing from a boat off a wooded shoreline when large rocks began landing in the water near their lures. Three rocks landed progressively closer to the boat, the last about 10 yards away, after the pair heard movement on the ridge above the shore. Unable to see anyone on the shoreline, the pair left the lake and returned to their cabin without further incident.

Two bowhunters hear possible screams near Glennie

Two companions were bowhunting from separate tree stands about 200 yards apart in the evening. They heard several short angry human-like screams lasting about a minute that each thought came from the other's direction, suggesting the source was between them. A deer left shortly before and the previously noisy woods became silent for the rest of the evening. Neither saw the source and neither knew what made the sound.

Possible vocalization heard at dusk by bowhunter near Glennie

During bow season last year, the witness walked on a friend's Michigan property to a swampy end of a small lake and sat down. A loud, eerie, almost human-like scream came from within about 50 yards through heavy vegetation and trees. Immediately after, the witness heard sounds like huge rocks being thrown into the lake and left the area quickly.

Hunters endure hour-long, intimidation behavior by unseen aggressor(s)

A group of hunters sitting at their campfire at night heard loud wailing, growling and howling sounds from just beyond the firelight, followed by the sound of trees snapping. They remained in camp as the sounds continued for an extended period before moving away into the woods. At daybreak they found snapped trees, uprooted brush, and heavily disturbed ground in the direction of the sounds.
