Nighttime sighting by four witnesses, near Plainwell

Late at night at home, the witness and three companions heard banging on the deck and went outside to investigate. In moonlight they saw a large shape kneeling on the lawn that stood and ran across the lawn, through a puddle, and up a driveway. The group later heard low growling and groaning, and the following afternoon the witness found a large footprint in a nearby sandbox.

Spring 1989 {Kalamazoo} Fulton, Kalamazoo County, Michigan Class A #2897

Multiple encounters, multiple witnesses, dating back to 60's

The witness and a companion were camping overnight by a creek in a swampy forest around midnight. They heard footsteps approaching along the creek to within about 30 yards, followed by loud screaming/howl-like vocalizations and sounds of a tree being torn up. The companion stepped a short distance into the woods to speak toward the sounds while the witness stayed by the fire with a shotgun without firing. After a few minutes the sounds and movement stopped and the source left without being seen.

1969–1979 Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo County, Michigan Class A #37553

Multiple childhood interactions recalled by a woman who grew up near Kalamazoo

As a second-grade child the witness wandered from a school picnic into adjacent pine woods while gathering cones. She collided with a huge hair-covered biped holding aside a tree limb and stared up at its expressive face as its look shifted from startled to gentle. After a prolonged motionless pause the creature released the limb, which swung overhead, and walked away with long powerful strides.
