Incident #991136
Edenville, Gladwin Cty, Michigan
Nov 1974
Account
Larry Schuon walking back to camp about 6 p.m., very cold, saw animal crouched eating something in the middle of the narrow road. It turned, saw him, got up on its hind legs and walked hastily towards cover, with strides of 7 to 8 feet. It kept looking back over its shoulder, and made two false charges, as it walked past the rabbit it had been eating. He then heard it following in the brush in the darkness for about 500 feet, making whistling, howling screams.
