July 1944 Eben Jct., Alger County, Michigan Class B #28897

Memory told of a possible daylight sighting while playing in the woods in Eben Junction

In summer 1944, the 9-year-old witness and his cousin were playing in a woodlot on a family farm, knocking dead saplings against live trees. They stopped and saw a huge man-like figure standing broadside nearby looking at them, which then turned and walked away. The boys ran out and told their mothers, who dismissed it as a neighbor, and the witness says they avoided that part of the woods afterward.

Hunter recalls incidents near Pecks Lake

In early November 1989 the witness and a relative returned after dark with a lantern to track a deer shot earlier with a bow. When the blood trail stopped they heard heavy bipedal footsteps pacing, saw a very large dark outline, and heard a guttural warning sound. Feeling threatened, they backed out while the witness held a handgun, and a next-morning search found neither deer nor tracks.

Woman recalls daylight sighting while driving and a possible incident at a home east of Gaylord

The witness was driving home from work on a secluded dirt back road on a sunny summer afternoon. From the car she saw a huge dark upright figure running bipedally through thick swamp beside the road, with a very thick upper torso and swinging arms, moving faster than a person or bear could. She heard a loud branch crack, glanced at the road, and when she looked back the figure was gone, so she continued home fearing another encounter.

He left with a handgun ready and avoided hunting the swamp for several years.
