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.

Possible paralleling described and tall figure seen at night south of Mt. Pleasant

A group walking back to a cottage late at night on a dirt road through dense woods heard something large paralleling them.

The eyes retreated deeper, dropped low and disappeared while the group returned to the cottage.
