A listener writes “I live in Michigan and used to spend a lot of time in the Huron Maniatee national forest between Glennie and Barton City Michigan.
Have seen several strange things happen there. And had a very strange encounter with something one night while trout fishing there.
My friend had a hangover and went to the tent on the 2nd night and I went back out fishing. Shortly after I went back out fishing I heard a large branch break. I’ve never heard any animal break such a large branch. The creature kept working his way toward camp and the tent where my friend was trying to sleep. The branches kept breaking close to shore and kept getting closer to camp.
Eventually this thing got 25 or 30 feet from the tent and let out the loudest scream I’ve ever heard. Sounded like a female human but so much louder yet also sounded like a lion. No way could any small animal so that. No way a bear could have screamed like that. I could feel the reverberation in my chest.”
