Memory told of a possible nighttime sighting by a teenager snowmobiling south of Houghton Lake

The witness was following a companion on a snowmobile off trail at night when a headlight revealed a tall hairy figure standing beside a small cedar tree with a hand on the trunk. The figure turned its head to watch the riders as they passed very close. The witness left quickly with the companion and returned with relatives the next morning, finding large footprints where the figure had stood.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
