(Show Printer-friendly Version)
YEAR: 2022
SEASON: Winter MONTH: February DATE: 22,23,24 STATE: Michigan COUNTY: Mackinac County LOCATION DETAILS: We were staying at a multi cabin resort on the south side of the lake. I would rather not mention it to protect the privacy of the owners. NEAREST TOWN: Curtis/Germfask NEAREST ROAD: H-42, Curtis Road OBSERVED: We were staying on the southwest side of Big Manistique Lake in a lakeside cabin. It was February and very cold with heavy snow cover. We were there for 5 nights, and every night I would go out for a cigarette before bed. On 3 consecutive nights, shortly after I got outside I heard a distinct, very loud knock in the woods, often followed shortly after by more knocks, but farther off in the distance. It was very dark, because I left the outdoor light off. I don’t know if it was a Bigfoot, trees cracking in the cold, or Bigfoot hunters knocking to each other, but I certainly know what I heard. I am not necessarily a skeptic, but I wouldn’t call myself a believer either. I’m open to the idea of it. ALSO NOTICED: Nothing OTHER WITNESSES: Myself OTHER STORIES: I’ve heard stories in the bars while up snowmobiling, always chalked it up to campfire talk or locals trying to sell souvenirs. I always figured if someone had an actual encounter they would probably keep it to themselves. TIME AND CONDITIONS: Approximately 10:00 pm, single digit cold, very still, heavy snow cover, mostly clear, very dark with crescent moon. ENVIRONMENT: Large lake to the north, pine and bitch forest to the south. Not far from Seney National Wildlife Refuge.
