A man has heard similar cries in the night for over 15 years that were noted in another BFRO report from the same location

The witness, a long-term resident of an apartment complex, reports repeatedly hearing a very loud, somewhat high-pitched howling or screaming sound from the heavily wooded area behind the complex on warm spring, summer and fall nights over many years. The sound was loud enough to be heard indoors and was described as suggesting an animal in pain or calling out. The witness initially had no explanation but after reading about Bigfoot wondered if the cries could have that source.

The sound rose from a low moan to a scream then fell to a rumble ending in three woof-like blasts, lasting 7-10 seconds and never repeated. He continued hunting in the opposite direction and nothing further occurred.

BFRO YEAR: 62 or 63 Manistee, Manistee County, Michigan Class B #30089

Memory told of a possible encounter while deer hunting east of Manistee

The witness was deer hunting alone in a swamp in late November when he heard an unfamiliar loud scream to the north followed by a loud branch breaking. He became uneasy and walked out to his car while watching behind him. Near his car he noticed a broad, roughly 8-foot-tall bipedal form standing about 35 yards away behind dense cover, which he believed had followed him. He left with a handgun ready and avoided hunting the swamp for several years.
