5 May 2026 Paradise, Chippewa County, Michigan Class B #81169

Sasquatch sighting near Paradise, Michigan (2026)

Two companions walking on a Lake Superior beach at dusk with a dog approached a large driftwood pile when the dog reacted and stopped. They saw a large dark upright silhouette on the far side of the pile that bent down, gripped a log as if to climb over, then ducked out of view when a flashlight was aimed at it. The head was seen popping up briefly before they retreated to the parking lot.

Possible nighttime sighting by a couple in separate vehicles outside Escanaba

Two people driving home separately at night each reported seeing a large shadowy figure by the highway slip into the woods about a half-mile from home.

The sighting occurred two days after a bizarre shrieking noise had been heard in the yard.

Late afternoon encounter by hunters scouting for deer between Cadillac and Manton

The witness and two companions were scouting for deer season by a creek near a cedar swamp when they heard an unfamiliar low growl.

Man witnesses the sillouette of a tall creature while boiling sap near Sault Ste. Marie

The witness was boiling maple sap by a fire around 1:30 a.m. when they went behind a shed and noticed a tall shadow-like figure moving toward the water. The figure traveled along a new gravel road/trail for about 30 seconds before disappearing into darkness, moving slowly with a side-to-side wobble and making no audible sound.

17 November 1996 Sidnaw, Iron County, Michigan Class B #20579

Possible Sighting by Deer Hunter in the Ottawa National Forest

During the November 1996 deer season, the witness was walking back to camp just after dusk when he saw a dark, very large man-like silhouette standing in the trail about 50 yards ahead. After he spoke to it, the figure silently stepped off the trail into dense cover and vanished. He waited, then passed the spot with his rifle ready, and a next-day search found no sign because fresh snow had fallen.

BFRO YEAR: 62 or 63 Manistee, Manistee County, Michigan Class B #30089

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.
