Snowmobiler finds large barefoot tracks in upper peninsula of Michigan

Frightened by the size and human appearance of the tracks, they left the area quickly.

Woman remembers childhood sighting near Rogers City

The witness and an older sister rode bikes along a road beside a dense wooded lot. They stopped after noticing a dark stump-like shape in the middle of the lot and, when wind moved long hair, realized it was a large hairy figure sitting cross-legged apparently asleep. They described a flat apelike face and long limbs and fled quickly to their house where they told a parent. They said they avoided the road and thicket afterward.

The figure was estimated at about six feet tall and its face was not seen.
