Father and daughter have possible late night sighting on edge of Huron National Forest

Around 2:30 a.m. the witness and his daughter were walking from the house to a detached garage bordering the national forest when they noticed movement and a white, human-like furry figure about 100 feet away looking toward them. The figure moved very quickly in a half-circle and crouched near a tree, then was seen standing motionless with its back to them as they approached. They ran back to the garage frightened and later discussed that they could not match it to a known animal.

Resident's sighting three miles north of Wurtsmith Air Force Base

Late at night the witness was returning from taking trash to the dumpster when he saw a tall brownish upright figure moving away from his open garage toward his camper. He lit its upper body with a flashlight and watched it glide silently behind the camper and then into the thick woods without a sound. He retrieved a rifle and searched the woods but found the terrain difficult to cross and found no tracks. A neighbor suggested a bear on its hind legs, but the witness felt the thin human-like form and silent movement did not fit.

Former Michigan native recalls possible activity near National City

When the witness was about nine, she was walking with an older neighbor girl in the back portion of family property. Something nearby growled loudly at them, and after they walked about 200 feet into the front pasture it growled and shrieked again. The companion looked, exclaimed, then grabbed the witness and ran with her to the house. The witness never learned what the companion may have seen, and the companion never walked there with her again.
