Sasquatch sighting near White Lake Township, Michigan (2025)

The witness camped alone in her van at a rustic campground during storms. Deer ran toward her then fled after looking toward the treeline, where she saw a high pair of large forward-facing eyes. After trying brighter lights she got in the van to get thermal, closed the slider, and heard a loud growl very close. She stayed quiet overnight hearing howls and screams, and her friend found suspicious tracks and hair the next morning.

Piercing scream heard by hunters.

Three people were camping on a ridge during deer season when they heard heavy footsteps circling and piercing screams. After a tree was heard falling, something very large rushed past the camp breaking saplings, and a snapped tree was later found. A large shadowy outline then watched the camp from beyond the firelight for the rest of the night.

Man recalls scary incidents as a teenager on his family's farm SW of Mt. Pleasant

The witness claims he woke in bed to a strong musky odor and saw a huge hairy figure looking down through his open bedroom window from a few feet away. He fled to his parents' bedroom as the creature gave a loud roar that turned into a scream, waking family members and frightening dogs inside and outside. He prepared to go outside with a handgun to retrieve the outdoor dog but stayed inside after a second roar and a family member's urging, remaining terrified through the night.

Memory told of a possible encounter while deer hunting east of Manistee

The witness was deer hunting alone in a swamp in late November when he heard an unfamiliar loud scream to the north followed by a loud branch breaking. He became uneasy and walked out to his car while watching behind him. Near his car he noticed a broad, roughly 8-foot-tall bipedal form standing about 35 yards away behind dense cover, which he believed had followed him. He left with a handgun ready and avoided hunting the swamp for several years.

Sasquatch sighting near Lake County

The witness was deer hunting from a familiar hillside stump in the late afternoon when the woods went silent and a strong rotting odor appeared. He watched a large black hairy biped walk effortlessly up a steep hill toward him, sniff the air and make eye contact for several seconds before walking away over the hill. After it left he heard a loud high-pitched scream in the distance, felt watched while leaving, and vomited once clear of the woods.

Sasquatch sighting in Michigan

The guest was napping in a bedroom with the bed against an outside wall when an odor woke him. He looked up through a window and saw a very large hair-covered figure standing close and staring in. After several seconds it leaned forward, the guest fled toward his parents' room, and the figure vocalized loudly, moved around the house to the porch area, and vocalized again while dogs reacted.
