Description of several strange encounters along Sleeping Bear Dunes National Shoreline

Late at night the witness and a companion were in a boat on a lake when large rocks began splashing in the water near them. After several close splashes they heard loud splashing steps running away along the shoreline on two legs. They started the boat and left, stating the forested swamp shoreline was not accessible to people and the cause was not human or fish.

creature screamed twice

While on a multi-day canoe trip, the witness pulled onto a sandy bank at dusk to camp and fish. About ten minutes after a prior animal encounter, an unseen source came to the rim of the bank above camp and screamed twice, then screamed once more after a short pause before going silent. The witness readied a pistol but did not see the source and did not look for tracks the next day.
