Fenton, Livingston Cty, Michigan

Account
Informant's grandmother said that when she was 7, living at White Lake, she watched saw from a hill leading down to the lake three large and two small hair-covered creatures that she identified as the same as those on a TV show about Bigfoot. She got her parents and younger brother and they watched all five of them swim over to a little oak woods (still there) on the North side of the lake. Her parents were German immigrants, and her father instructed his wife and the children that they must never tell what they had seen because they would be ridiculed. She told no one for 56 years.
