The witness was camping with a parent in the northern woods. Over three nights something large approached the tent from behind, breathing audibly and pressing against the fabric. The witness felt cold then heat, briefly could not move, struck the shape, and heard it walk away bipedally. After objects were thrown on later nights the pair left early, and the witness avoided night woods for years.

The witness and his son were rowing across a different lake on the same property around midday when they noticed a white, propane-tank-shaped object sitting on or just above the flat water with no reflection, sound, or wake. They watched it move slowly and silently across the width of the lake until it reached the far shore and disappeared into the heavily wooded shoreline where there is no boat launch or access. The witness said he photographed the object and later shared grayscale and color versions.

The witness and his wife were camping at their remote property and sitting by a campfire after sunset when a low white light approached, passed nearly overhead, and continued behind the trees. A few minutes later they heard yipping that rose and dropped into overlapping grunting, screams and yells from about half a mile away, followed by total silence. The witness said he had camped there for decades and never heard anything like it, and later felt a recording from another Michigan case sounded nearly identical.

A next-day search found no thrown log or rock.
