Goodells, St Clair Cty, Michigan
1988
Account
Bruce Thibodeau and two friends were hunting near Goodells, in a state forest, camped on a ridge a mile from the junction of Hwy 21 and Rabbidue Rd. At night heard something walking nearby, near the Pine River, then heard piercing scream, then when they yelled it at there was another scream and sound of a tree falling, then something tearing through the woods knocking things over. Found tree 6 to 8-inch diameter snapped off 8.5 feet up. Later made out by firelight large outline shadow. This went on all night, and on later occasions through deer season. Once thay saw something crouched in a squatting position, steadying itself with its hands. It was watching them, and had eyes that glowed reddish in the light. Area of hills, ridges and swamps.
