Caro, Tuscola Cty, Michigan
Sep 1977
Account
Karl and Steven Traster were riding their bicycles in their back yard near a pond. Steven saw a huge, brown, hairy animal standing behind Karl on two feet. Steven screamed. The beast turned and ran towards the woods. It had feces stuck to its buttocks and it stank. Its elbow reached the level of the boys' tree house, indicating a height of 8 or 9 feet. Steve said it had large breasts, Karl wasn't sure. State troopers attended but found nothing. Wayne King called that night (see 1050)
