Family driving a rural two-track have a late day encounter north of Higgins Lake

The witness and two daughters were driving a pickup on a forest two-track in the evening to gather rocks for a fire pit. A tall black-haired biped ran across the trail in front of the vehicle in a forward-leaning run with arms hanging low, followed about 15 feet behind by a large gray wolf. Both continued up the hill on the far side and disappeared, and a next-day search found no tracks because of overnight heavy rain.

Daylight sighting in woods behind high school outside Houghton Lake

A 15-year-old walking home from school through the woods felt uneasy and then saw a dark upright figure standing on the trail ahead near a swamp.

The witness later examined the spot, found no tracks on hard ground, and estimated the being at nearly nine feet tall based on a branch above its head and a roughly five-foot step.
