Memory told of a possible sighting at dawn by a hunter in his tree stand southeast of Pontiac
The witness arrived before sunrise on opening day to bow-hunt from a tree stand at the edge of a bean field. While in the stand the witness heard loud bipedal footsteps moving through dense saplings and then saw a tall hair-covered figure standing about 20 yards away. The two stared at each other for several minutes before the figure walked away, after which the witness fled to a companion's vehicle and did not return.
ape-like creature seen by witnesses.
The witness, then age eight, was walking east along railroad tracks with a nine-year-old companion picking up rocks when they smelled a strong distinct odor near a bridge over a river. While crossing the bridge the companion pointed over the south side, and the witness saw a dark-brown fur-covered ape-like figure with very massive shoulders crouching on the east bank about twenty feet below looking into the water. After watching for about five to seven seconds, the two children ran east to the companion's home.
