Incident #991135
Bay City, Bay Cty, Michigan
1973
Account
Rick Long, 15, wrote that while breaking camp one morning at Bay City, his eight-year-old brother ran up and said that while walking on an old road he saw a hair-covered monster walking up an embankment on two legs. Rick went back with him and they followed marks into the woods for about a mile, then saw an immense figure standing near a tree, and ran. The creature gave a scream that started low then went into a high-pitched whine.
