Possible vocalization outside Rock MI near western edge of Hiawatha National Forest
Five people camped in a remote forest-swamp area to look for sasquatch. After they went to sleep in their tents, they were awakened a little after 4 a.m. by a very loud long yell lasting about 10 seconds from roughly 50 yards away, with coyote yelps and several shorter yells mixed in. After the sounds stopped the woods went completely silent.
Possible ongoing activity experienced while hiking a trail outside Gladstone
The witness and a companion walked night trails and noticed a stationary bright light over a ridge. They then heard bipedal footsteps from an embankment, felt watched, and smelled a skunk-like odor. While leaving across the bridge they heard prolonged crying/calling vocalizations that continued to the trailhead. The witness later concluded the sounds matched Bigfoot recordings found online.
Fishermen have possible daytime encounter near Escanaba
Two companions stopped while on a fishing outing to inspect a river area. They heard large animals moving on both sides of the road and believed they had interrupted two animals crossing.

Neither witness obtained a visual, and they left without crossing the river to investigate.

Two people driving home separately at night each reported seeing a large shadowy figure by the highway slip into the woods about a half-mile from home.

Possible early evening sighting at a cemetery outside Escanaba
The witness was searching for veterans' graves in a cemetery in the early evening when they noticed movement to the northeast along the tree line.

Feeling watched, the witness backed away to their car and left.

Campers have strange encounter near swamp in the Upper Peninsula
The witness and four companions were camped overnight on a ridge between a lake and a swampy area. Between about 1 and 4 a.m. they heard repeated loud screeching calls that approached from a distance to within tens of yards and circled their camp, sometimes accompanied by breaking branches but never revealing a source when lights were shone. After about three hours the sounds receded the way they had come, and the group left at first light without finding tracks.
