Concord, Jackson Cty, Michigan
Aug 1978
Account
Mindy Singletary heard something outside her trailer, looked out and saw a big animal drinking from her son's swimming pool. Called her parents who lived next door, then looked out and saw it get up on its back feet "it was bigger than my stepdad" and run off. Four evenings later, Dennis Hoath, who lived just down Pulaski Road, saw behind his home about 8 p.m. an "enormous thing" standing at the edge of his cornfield. It was 7.5 feet tall, and black.
