Close encounter experienced while waiting for the school bus near Marion

The witness and his sister were waiting at a rarely used roadside bus stop before sunrise when they smelled a foul odor and heard low grunting that grew louder and more aggressive. A large dark-brown figure then knocked over a small dead tree across the road and ran toward them. Both fled a short distance to their house, with the figure closing to within a few feet before continuing into the woods.

Air National Guardsman describes being ushered out of the woods culminating in a nighttime sighting from his car near the Presque Isle Lighthouse

The witness spent the evening relaxing near the harbor, waded in the lake, then walked back toward the car through a clearing. While walking, the witness heard twig snaps and sounds of trees being pushed that stayed parallel and created a feeling of being watched. Shortly after driving away, the witness saw a tall black hair-covered figure standing at the treeline staring with eyes that tracked the car, stopped briefly in shock, then left the area without returning.
