00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,640
Hello and welcome to the program
UFO Warning. 

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,400
In this episode we're talking 
about a Michigan Bigfoot 

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,320
Roundup. 
That's correct, a Michigan 

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,920
Bigfoot roundup. 
Found this over on the Bigfoot 

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:15,960
Field Researchers Organization 
site. 

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,360
Awesome site. 
We'll have the links at the Kofi

7
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,960
site where you can go there and 
take a look if you want to. 

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,840
Also, thanks to the folks that 
support the program over there. 

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,720
It really helps. 
And also don't forget to like, 

10
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,760
follow and subscribe. 
It does great things for the 

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,280
program and doesn't cost 
anything. 

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,960
This particular sighting comes 
from November 6th, 2012. 

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,720
It tells us it's in Michigan, 
it's in Alpena County, and 

14
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,600
that's up in the kind of 
central, South Central, eastern 

15
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,600
part of the state there, as I 
already called, I've been up 

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,920
around there many years ago. 
That says nearest road M65M32IN 

17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,520
nearest town Alpena observed on 
November 6th, 2012. 

18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,840
I was walking our 106 acres 
located in central Alpena 

19
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,360
County. 
It had just snowed one to two 

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,840
inches the day before. 
While on one of our many paths I

21
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,400
came across large tracks that 
were not like anything I've seen

22
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,720
before. 
Later upon notifying my S 

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,920
neighbor he also found the same 
type of tracks. 

24
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:22,080
They were 5 1/2 inches by 10 
inches flat without any tow or 

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,240
crawl marks. 
The gait from the toe to heal 

26
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,200
was 20 inches and walked in a 
straight line. 

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,320
I looked at these tracks, 
they're really weird. 

28
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,840
This animal walked through dense
forests and underbrush, which a 

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,320
human would normally not enter 
12 to 15. 

30
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:42,920
DNR personnel have viewed the 
pictures of these tracks and 

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,600
agree that they represent no 
animal that is recognized in 

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,640
Michigan. 
I am experienced. 

33
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,480
I am an experienced outdoor 
person. 

34
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,360
Have haunted bears and deer in 
this area. 

35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,520
In October. 
I also noted an area in one of 

36
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,880
our food plots. 
This is a wheat I feel it says 

37
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,640
large tracks. 
An area approximately 20 feet 

38
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,080
and radius was torn up. 
Pictures are available of the 

39
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,240
fall and winter tracks. 
Man other witnesses 2 neighbors 

40
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,120
saw the same tracks. 
Other stories. 

41
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,240
ADNR Field biologist mentioned 
that an unidentified incident 

42
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,640
was reported in the adjacent 
West County. 

43
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,800
And then it's got a picture of 
these tracks. 

44
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,480
They do look to be pretty large.
Like you said, they're like in a

45
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,920
straight line. 
I can't tell the how many inches

46
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:32,520
between the tracks. 
Yeah, weird a person doesn't 

47
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,480
walk this way. 
It's almost like that were 

48
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,440
swinging that foot around front.
It says the stride length, the 

49
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,120
lack of a heel impression, the 
straightness of the tracks and 

50
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,040
the density of the brush that 
the tracks went through. 

51
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,200
The witness stated it was the 
most convincing details that 

52
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,480
convinced him that these tracks 
were not created by a person 

53
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,920
walking on the pathway. 
The tracks did not match any 

54
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:58,080
known animal prints that the 
witness has seen. 

55
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,760
His photo showing the straight 
path of the trackway. 

56
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,800
I, I don't, well, it's not like 
it's a shoe print. 

57
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,920
I can't see like, you know, 
tread from the bottom of the 

58
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:11,280
shoe or anything like that. 
It goes on here says the stride 

59
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,880
length in a person or animal is 
the distance between successive 

60
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,600
steps of the same football. 
So as you or an animal's 

61
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,560
walking, each time there's a 
step, the distance between the 

62
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,520
same points on the foot is 
considered your stride length. 

63
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,440
And it says, whereas the 
distance between the same points

64
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,320
on opposite feet is the same 
length. 

65
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,920
Of course, talking about four 
legged animals, the witness has 

66
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:35,000
seen bear tracks, which can 
sometimes overlap depending on 

67
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,560
the speed of their gait and 
general body size. 

68
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,520
But most often the back paw 
lands in front of the previous 

69
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,680
four paw. 
A double bare print can resemble

70
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,480
a human size or larger print. 
Melting can add to that effect, 

71
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,040
but bare feet tend to point 
outwards when walking, and this 

72
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,760
is not the case in these 
photographs. 

73
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,360
Later that day, the witness 
spoke with a couple of his 

74
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,520
neighbors and they too had seen 
similar tracks. 

75
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,440
The Witnesses an avid 
outdoorsman, trout fisherman and

76
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,680
hunter with friends and numerous
contacts in the conservation 

77
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,400
field. 
The witness and his wife have a 

78
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,680
sizeable collection of wildlife 
material, along with a family 

79
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,800
member who has written numerous 
articles and magazines. 

80
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,920
Yeah, that's strange. 
It was investigated by Jim 

81
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,600
Sherman. 
It says the area where the 

82
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,800
tracks were found is on the 
witness's property, which is 

83
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,240
located about 1/2 hour West of 
Alpena and Thunder Bay off of 

84
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,840
Lake Huron. 
There is a river to the West of 

85
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:33,000
the property, food plots to the 
northeast, and a stock pond in 

86
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,120
the South. 
A power lane corridor runs east 

87
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,440
to West, with a portion 
branching off to service his 

88
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,400
residence and neighbors. 
It was in the middle of 2012 

89
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,400
hunting season. 
The witness was out walking his 

90
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,360
property one to two inches of 
snowfall the night before the 

91
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,440
tracks. 
It doesn't say exactly how far 

92
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,360
the distance ends between the 
tracks. 

93
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,720
It looks just based on the size 
of the of the footprints. 

94
00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:02,480
It almost looks too long for a 
human track. 

95
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,800
Boy, that would really have to 
be a tall person. 

96
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,240
Yeah, this is. 
And people just don't walk that 

97
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,640
way. 
Like they said, it would either 

98
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,800
be a really Big Bear who is, you
know, that's putting its rear 

99
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,680
Pearl into the same track as a 
front paw, or a really tall two 

100
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,200
legged individual, whatever it 
is that's swinging around here. 

101
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,000
Now, I'm not sure if these 
footprints just kind of 

102
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,600
disappear or what. 
I can't really tell where they 

103
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,280
get off to as they go forward. 
Very interesting case. 

104
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,280
We'll go ahead and take a look 
at this next one here. 

105
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,080
See what? 
See what's going on there? 

106
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:43,360
This sighting happened May 26th,
2002 at Michigan, Kalamazoo 

107
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,800
County. 
It says nearest town at 

108
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:51,640
Plainwell, MI nearest Rd. 
Edited Now the experiencers tell

109
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,880
us they observed a few of my 
brother's friends. 

110
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,800
My brother and I were sitting at
home. 

111
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,480
My brother and his friends were 
in the next room and I was in 

112
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,120
the dining room on the computer 
when I heard a loud banging and 

113
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,640
thumping on the deck. 
I disregarded the noise, 

114
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,160
thinking it was my cat and went 
back to what I was doing, but I 

115
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,320
kept hearing the noise. 
So I went and got my brother and

116
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,720
his friends and we all went 
outside to check it out. 

117
00:06:18,280 --> 00:06:22,040
There was nothing there. 
The moon shone down on the grass

118
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,280
and we saw a large shadow 
kneeling down across the lawn. 

119
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,120
We saw the large beast stand up,
run across the lawn through a 

120
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,800
mud puddle, hearing the splash 
and up my neighbor's driveway. 

121
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,680
It scared my cat, which was 
outside near it, so we went back

122
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,960
inside, got a flashlight and 
several small blunt weapons in 

123
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,160
case we were attacked. 
Three of us ventured out to the 

124
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,840
driveway while the last one 
stayed at the house. 

125
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,800
The three of us went to the 
driveway and saw nothing. 

126
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,560
We all heard the same low 
growling and groaning. 

127
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,680
This afternoon I found a large 
footprint in a nearby sandbox. 

128
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,440
I'll have a follow up on that. 
I have pictures. 

129
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,000
The print was a foot and a half 
long, about 6 inches wide and a 

130
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,520
couple of inches deep. 
I have had several other small 

131
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,080
encounters but nothing of this 
magnitude. 

132
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,200
This is by far the most 
frightening experience with it. 

133
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,440
It says also notice the 
footprints afterwards. 

134
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,000
Other witness myself and three 
others other stories. 

135
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,760
My friend has witnessed a large 
beast crossing the street during

136
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,520
the winter and then it says time
and conditions a little after 

137
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,040
midnight and then tells us the 
environment. 

138
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,240
There is a swamp to the north, a
grassy field to the north, woods

139
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,520
to the east, another field 
followed by more woods to the 

140
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,840
West and a small stream to the 
South. 

141
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:52,200
Wow pretty cool it says follow 
up investigation. 

142
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,240
I spoke with two of the 
witnesses and there felt pretty 

143
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,200
good. 
I think this next sighting 

144
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:01,440
happened back in July of 1978, 
Lindenwood County Michigan. 

145
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,840
It says nearest town Hudson, 
nearest Rd. 

146
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,920
They think it was called Beecher
Rd. 

147
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,680
If we look at what they tell us 
the observer says I have been 

148
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,560
watching your show and this 
reminded me of something I saw 

149
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,920
when I was around 10 years old. 
I can remember almost every 

150
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,680
detail like it just happened. 
I am now 43 and do not live 

151
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,600
there anymore so I can't tell 
you the specific name of the 

152
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,440
roads, but to this day I think I
could take you there. 

153
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,040
I was fishing with my parents 
near Hudson, MI. 

154
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,039
We were on a road that had a 
bridge on it where people 

155
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:34,960
fished. 
I think a way down is Lake 

156
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,320
Hudson Park. 
There were woods down the way of

157
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,159
the river. 
Toward the front of the wooded 

158
00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:42,480
area was a really big Raspberry 
patch. 

159
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:46,520
It was a bright, clear day. 
It was hot, and I was at the 

160
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,200
Raspberry patch, pulling them 
off the Bush and popping them 

161
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,160
into my mouth. 
I looked up and saw a black 

162
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,200
outline staring back at me. 
I remember being absolutely 

163
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,440
paralyzed with fear. 
The Raspberry patch was very 

164
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,840
thick and dense, and this 
creature was on the side of the 

165
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,640
patch toward the woods. 
It wasn't a barrier because it 

166
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,280
was more ape like and stocky. 
It was much too large to be a 

167
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,680
person and carried itself more 
like an animal than a human. 

168
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,440
It was close to it, but because 
the density of the patch and 

169
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,360
thickness of the woods I didn't 
see. 

170
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,080
I didn't have a clear look at 
this creature. 

171
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,200
I remember being so scared I was
frozen and when I could finally 

172
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,200
break free I ran to my parents. 
They half listened to me but I 

173
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,720
called my mother today and she 
remembered me telling her about 

174
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,720
it. 
Later a wildlife officer came by

175
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,480
and I asked him if there were 
any bears around there and he 

176
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,160
laughed and told me no. 
This happened 33 years ago and 

177
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,480
the reason I am telling you this
now is because after watching 

178
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:49,560
your show I remember connecting 
with something with something 

179
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:52,360
one of the people said. 
The fear that runs it through 

180
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,440
you when you see a Swatch. 
I don't know if I can provide 

181
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,080
you with any of the terms of 
information but I just wanted to

182
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,240
let you know. 
Thanks. 

183
00:10:00,680 --> 00:10:03,680
Under also notice it says I 
remember hearing a slight rustle

184
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:06,840
that caused me to look at 
whatever that was and other 

185
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,400
witnesses. 
I was the only one that saw it 

186
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,800
but there were several people 
around. 

187
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,440
My parents, my brother, my 
uncles and cousins maybe, but 

188
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,960
they were all several yards away
from me. 

189
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,120
And he says I heard nothing 
about this until I looked at the

190
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,480
site and read other accounts. 
It was hot, bright, clear on 

191
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:24,720
summer day. 
It was by the river. 

192
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,000
There was a small bridge. 
It was by the Raspberry patch. 

193
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,880
That's pretty neat. 
If we could only look at the 

194
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,080
investigator, they say. 
And I contacted the witness 

195
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,360
regarding her story and was 
happy that she responded so 

196
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,960
promptly as I have have a great 
deal of interest in this part of

197
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,560
Michigan and have had the chance
to investigate the area on 

198
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:46,680
previous occasions. 
The land around the account has 

199
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:49,400
seen numerous sightings of 
unknown creatures for many 

200
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,920
decades, particularly in the 
Lost Nation's forest area. 

201
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,760
The following is a reproduction 
of our discussion. 

202
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,040
Investigator says. 
Do you recall what time of day 

203
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,280
your encounter occurred? 
The witness says this had to 

204
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,200
happen around 2:00 to 3:00 PM. 
The reason I make that 

205
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,160
determination is because we 
would eat lunch first, stop to 

206
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,800
buy a bait at the store on the 
corner of Beecher Road and 

207
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,080
proceed to the fishing area. 
It was a clear, sunny day. 

208
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,240
Investigator asked. 
Is there any more description of

209
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,720
the creature you saw regarding 
the movement or the coloration 

210
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,600
that led you to believe that 
this was not an animal known to 

211
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,320
live in the area like a bear or 
deer? 

212
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:29,480
The witness says. 
I almost think that the creature

213
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,160
was also eating raspberries and 
began eating on the opposite 

214
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,400
side. 
I went deeper toward the woods 

215
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,000
and was picking berries. 
When I looked up I saw a dark 

216
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,920
figure, black. 
It wasn't a person. 

217
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,520
I wanted it to be a person, but 
it wasn't. 

218
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,600
It was huge. 
I have seen my share of bears 

219
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,000
and this was not a bear. 
This creature was ape like in 

220
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,240
the face where a bear is more 
animal like and I have seen 

221
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,240
bears eat berries many times. 
In fact, I looked at several 

222
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,000
photos of bears eating berries 
and this was not what I saw. 

223
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,680
Way too big and dark to be a 
person. 

224
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,920
This thing was massive. 
I was around 10 but Even so I 

225
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,640
wanted to believe this was a 
person but there was no way it 

226
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,960
could have been. 
It must have been four times my 

227
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,560
size. 
Though I think the creature was 

228
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,600
hunched a bit, it still towered 
over me because I remember 

229
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,200
looking up to see it. 
The creature was very quiet and 

230
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,080
looking at me for I don't know 
how long. 

231
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,760
It was dark, black and 
definitely more ape like than 

232
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,920
bear like. 
Not human, no way. 

233
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,120
It says. 
Could you describe the paralyzed

234
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,240
feeling that you had? 
And the witness says, I remember

235
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,560
being frozen with fear. 
I wanted to run, but I couldn't.

236
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,520
I wanted to scream, but I was 
too frozen to scream. 

237
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,160
I was looking at the outline of 
the creature through the 

238
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,800
Raspberry bushes and he was 
looking at me and being still. 

239
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,000
I thought if I ran he would grab
me. 

240
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,240
But I didn't want to stay there 
because I had such a feeling 

241
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,040
coming over me to get out of 
there. 

242
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,560
I remember telling myself turn 
and run now that's what I did. 

243
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,000
I did not look behind me. 
I ran to my parents who were by 

244
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,520
the road under the bridge. 
I had no idea what I saw and 

245
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,160
told my mom who still remembers 
me telling her about. 

246
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,000
At this point, I discussed 
having a similar feeling come 

247
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,400
over me on several occasions. 
The witnesses felt relieved that

248
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,800
someone else understood what she
was feeling and expressed 

249
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,640
gratitude that the show Finding 
Bigfoot had helped her to better

250
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,000
understand what had happened to 
her so long ago. 

251
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,960
She ended our conversation by 
stating I feel now that I saw 

252
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,280
something I wasn't meant to see,
but I have so much respect for 

253
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,760
what I saw. 
And BFR investigator Jim Sherman

254
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,960
talks a little bit about him. 
That's pretty impactful 

255
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,120
sighting. 
All these years later and this 

256
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,960
gal still just thinking about 
how fearful she was when this 

257
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,680
happened. 
This last account comes to us 

258
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:49,440
from Menominee County, Michigan,
dated October 22nd, 2009. 

259
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,640
Location details north of US two
nearest town, Bark River between

260
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,520
US two and 41. 
It looks like this account was 

261
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,400
written by the daughter says I'm
writing this for my father. 

262
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,680
He's 69 years old and doesn't 
have the Internet. 

263
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,760
I got a call from my dad telling
me he just saw Harry. 

264
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,600
He sounded really excited. 
I said who? 

265
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,200
He said the big guy. 
I knew who he was talking about 

266
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,440
right away. 
This wasn't the first time. 

267
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,400
It was his second sighting in 
five years. 

268
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,440
This is what happened. 
My dad and his wife were sitting

269
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,080
in front of their big Bay window
around 6:45 watching the deer 

270
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,680
grazing before the sun went 
down. 

271
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,880
The deer were feeding for a good
20 to 30 minutes and then my dad

272
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,840
and his wife noticed the deer 
got spooked by something and ran

273
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,080
off. 
They thought maybe a wolf or 

274
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,920
coyote or a hunter had scared 
them off. 

275
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,640
Then my dad's wife noticed 
something walking across the 

276
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,560
field. 
They thought maybe it was a 

277
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,080
hunter with dark brown or dark 
heavy clothes on. 

278
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,040
She grabbed her binoculars to 
get a better look because it was

279
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,440
walking weird and seemed really 
tall, about six to seven feet 

280
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,800
tall. 
My dad was trying to get a good 

281
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,160
look without the binoculars and 
he could tell it didn't look 

282
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,880
human. 
They both got an uneasy feeling.

283
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,600
They said whatever it was, it 
was walking casually. 

284
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,760
They could see the dark fur 
walking upright and it was 

285
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,560
walking through the field 
stopping and bending over a 

286
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,840
couple times, maybe looking for 
food. 

287
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,000
Then it walked into the woods 
and they didn't hear anything 

288
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,480
weird after that. 
It was already dark about 7:15 

289
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,000
PM. 
He told me a few nights ago he 

290
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,560
smelled a skunky musty smell in 
the air and also got uneasy 

291
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,880
feelings every time he went out 
to his backyard which leads into

292
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,160
the woods. 
It was like he was being 

293
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,440
watched. 
He heard weird howling noises 

294
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,800
for a few nights as well. 
Wow, sounds like this thing's 

295
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,520
moved right into the guy's 
neighborhood, it says. 

296
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,560
Also I noticed a few nights ago 
he heard he heard weird howling 

297
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,920
noises, smelled a musty odor in 
the air and noticed things 

298
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,480
moving moved in his backyard. 
So The thing is coming into the 

299
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,840
backyard, maybe moving stuff 
around, looking for grubs or 

300
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,240
something to eat. 
I don't know, just the two 

301
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,040
witnesses, this man and his 
wife. 

302
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,000
It goes on. 
It says My father has heard 

303
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,760
stories from some of the local 
local Native Americans. 

304
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,160
This is his second sighting in 
five years in the summer and the

305
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:03,360
same field time and condition 
seven, 7:15 PM open farm field 

306
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,160
surrounded by woods. 
So I suppose maybe they kind of 

307
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:08,840
figure they have the best of 
both worlds there. 

308
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,520
The investigator on this was Don
Pier. 

309
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,680
It says I, I first contacted the
daughter of the witness who then

310
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,840
put me in touch with her father 
and his wife. 

311
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,560
Who are the actual witnesses? 
Her father and his wife have had

312
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,040
a few different sightings of 
Sasquatch from their living room

313
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,440
which looks out at a field 
behind their home. 

314
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,400
Their first sighting was several
years ago and they also had two 

315
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,320
sightings last year. 
One incident last year was while

316
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,480
he was behind his home near the 
wood line. 

317
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,880
There he saw what he thought was
a hunter standing in the woods. 

318
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,400
After a better look he realized 
he was looking at a hair covered

319
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,240
upright animal and as it started
walking towards him he walked 

320
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,120
back to the house. 
A few days later, he and his 

321
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,000
wife were watching deer in the 
field behind the house when the 

322
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,480
deer seemed to spook. 
They then saw a Sasquatch slowly

323
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,080
traveling along the wood line at
the edge of the field. 

324
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,440
The Sasquatch seemed to be 
frequently stooped over and 

325
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,400
appeared to be eating some kind 
of food item. 

326
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,480
They were able to watch it for 
about 1/2 hour. 

327
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,440
It was black in collar. 
Both of these sightings occurred

328
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,599
in November of 2009. 
The earlier sighting was of a 

329
00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:18,119
brown collared animal. 
He had one other experience 

330
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,480
where he was out near an old 
shed that was at the other end 

331
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,280
of his property when he thought 
he saw a head peeking out behind

332
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,560
a tree looking at him. 
He stated that it happened so 

333
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,600
fast he was not sure he actually
seen what he thought he saw, but

334
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,000
suddenly got a feeling that he 
needed to get out of there so he

335
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,000
went back to the house. 
He also shared with me that he 

336
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,240
regularly puts out leftover food
scraps for the animals. 

337
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,320
Well, there you go. 
The witness is a Native 

338
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,520
American, as are several 
residents in the area. 

339
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,880
He said that most of the people 
in the area know that there are 

340
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,280
Sasquatch in the area and many 
have had personal experiences 

341
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,200
with them. 
They don't speak of it to 

342
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,320
outsiders and just want to live 
in harmony with them and have 

343
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,160
great respect for them. 
He also said that the local 

344
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,000
Native Americans hold different 
ceremonies in the woods where 

345
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,640
many of the sightings have 
occurred. 

346
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,840
But it's almost you wonder if 
are they conjuring these things 

347
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,520
in. 
He stated that he would contact 

348
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,520
me if you had further sightings 
or experience. 

349
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,080
I found the witness very honest 
and open about his experiences. 

350
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,360
That is really cool. 
I like to see this from the 

351
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:25,160
perspective of a Native American
because, you know, so often we 

352
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,400
don't really get to hear to 
their side of it. 

353
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,400
They're, they're very quiet 
about this stuff and that's kind

354
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,600
of part of their culture. 
But this situation here is 

355
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,960
really neat. 
Maybe this guy's just putting 

356
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,600
out these food scraps or 
whatever for the critters and 

357
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,960
he's got the biggest critter in 
the timber coming up having 

358
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,240
snacks at night. 
Overall some great sightings 

359
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,000
there. 
Until next time, this is UFO 

360
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,160
warning over and out.
