Incident #991200
Mio, Oscoda Cty, Michigan
Sep 1991
Account
The two accounts differ. Francis says the boys were kiking on a snowmobile trail near the Au Sable River when they encountered two hairy creatures that chased them around the power lines that run parallel to the trail, letting out ear-piercing screams. Art Kapa told the News that the sighting was Sept. 28 in Foley swamp, a dark hairy creature that walked away and disappeared in the thick forest, and that the witnesses heard a sound like a baby's cry. The Saginaw News tells of other reports by hunters in Foley Swamp, in Huron National Forest. One group of hunters told of seeing a large hairy creature there almost every year.
