Strange findings along a trail near a home, outside Lake City, MI

YEAR: 2013

SEASON: Spring

MONTH: April

DATE: 10

STATE: Michigan

COUNTY: Missaukee County

 

NEAREST TOWN: Lake City

 

OBSERVED: We received a voice mail from a witness, and he stated “I live near Lake City on 66. It’s really weird because I’m having some stuff happen out here, and I was really wondering if there is somebody in my area. I’m right by Missaukee Mountain and its all forest and swamps.”

I am Investigator Kim Fleming and I am filing this report on behalf of the witness. I returned the witness’ phone call and can add:

There is ongoing activity near the home since early spring of 2013. The witness’ first encounter was while walking in an area of pines. He heard a wood knock so loud that it frightened him significantly. He actually thought he had been shot at. He also heard several whistles coming from an area of the woods where he regularly walks. Several sets of tracks have been found, large and small.

OTHER WITNESSES: One other witness has seen tracks in his yard which is right behind where the witness lives.

ENVIRONMENT: The incidents have mostly occurred in a patch of pine trees about 25 to 30 feet tall. There is only a few houses in this area and surrounding area is a mix of pine forest, hardwoods, higher elevation and swamps.

 

 

Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Kim Fleming:

I have been investigating this report since April 2013. The witness has cast several sets of prints. The most recent set included a set of possible juvenile prints at 9.5 inches. See photo of the casts:

A larger print found was measured at 14.5 inches, here is a photo of the cast:

I also found a dumping station for road kill, not two miles from this location. Note the tree break and trail close to one of the deer carcasses dumped at the location:

January 2014 –
The witness reported seeing three large, dark colored creatures he thought were either people or possible bears, at the high point of a local ski area. The reported sighting was followed up by an immediate visit with the operators of the area. When they were asked about people being at the top of the hill, the response was, “No one is up there! No one can get up there! The slope is too steep and rocky!” The witness pressed in stating that he saw three figures at the top of the hill, but was repeatedly told that he must be mistaken. When the witness walked back out to his car, the figures were gone. The witness’ girlfriend also saw the three figures. Several families, including many children were sledding the area at the time.

Update Spring & Summer 2014 –
The creatures are becoming bolder, coming closer to an area where you would not expect them to be. (I am purposely being vague here to protect the site) One day after my husband and I visited the area, a huge spot was found on the ground nearby. We believe it was a urine spot due to the smell and the fact that the grass died immediately. The spot was approximately 2.5 feet in diameter and was close to the witness’ car. Another spot appeared the next day, only much smaller. I was concerned about the creatures coming so close and using urination as a sign to mark its territory. Other researchers familiar with habitation sights agreed that this was an aggressive move, but the witness does not feel frightened or intimidated. This was the time frame that the 2nd 14 inch print showed up. Shortly following my visit to the site, the witness called and stated that there was another 14 inch print type, different from the first. The witness believes there are two 14 inch print individuals, as one of them has a bend in the right foot like it was injured at one point.

Following is a list of other things going on: Prints on a window, white mucus like splatter on another window, hearing low vocalizations, sightings, a hand print, several prints believed to be knuckle prints, gifts being left (see pictures), stick structures built, rocks displays changed or moved, feathers and multiple sticks being left, structures built to copy ones built by the witness, different types of moans and chatter on occasion.

    The in Michigan they are not covered by any hunting or criminal laws as they are not recognized in any way shape or form, to the DNR they would be a non native species which can be shot at any time of the year, to the criminal justice system they simply don’t exist so they are not covered by any extant law. (I had reason to check on this with my lawyer for somebody I know)
    I don’t know why an investigator would not encourage taking samples of all suspect bodily substances, especially the mucus like splatter, sounds like a DNA gold mine.
    I’m only 2.5 hours from there, maybe I’ll go have a look, I’m not sure about some issues that might pop up though.

    I read this a while back. I think this guy is treating it like an ongoing habituation and is trying to figure his way through it. Would not we all like to have an opportunity like this. I have a friend in Texas doing the same thing and there have been some high profile researchers come to his hill country area outside of San Antonio.

    This whole corridor this guy is in which incompasses the Manistee National Forest to his west and the Huron National Forest to his east is an area rich in Sasquatch sightings and encounters going back to the 1800s I think has the highest population of Sasquatch in Michigan, but this is an opinion.

    Hmmm, my Dad inherited a house in Cadillac I might have to spend some time up there this spring and do some poking around, we had relatives that lived all over up there back in the day, over by Hodenpyle dam, Manton, Messick, Lake City, back then I never thought to ask anybody about the subject, sadly they are all gone now.
    I remember visiting one coat tail relative that was basically a hermit, I’m not really sure exactly where it was anymore, but I do remember we always went by the country store/gas station where they guy had a bear in a cage, he lived way down a dirt road in a tar paper shack he called his cabin, damn,that was probably 45 years ago, he probably would have had some stories to tell.

      That is wild. It was about 45 years ago we came across a guy who had a bear in a cage, who knows might have been the same one as I can not remember where it was. It was at a country store and gas station though. Had to be the same one. Anyway this was one fat bear. The gimmick was you buy the bear a pop and he would guzzle it down. Lord knows how many pops that bear drank every day at least during the summer. Probably got diabetis and died early.
      I would take advantage of the Cadillac house. This is definitely there territory and beautiful area to boot. I use to ski at Caberfee when I lived in Midland and few years back we snomobiled in Cadillac and Baldwin.

    This is a very interesting report…I’d be seriously thinking about a large cal. platform to keep close by…maybe a 50. Beowulf or something…this seems like a situation that could go bad very quickly. Does anyone have intel on a Habituation site in Wisconsin? I’m in Northern wi right now for a while, and am just digging around for some broad information…maybe something out of Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest? I’ve checked the report databases and haven’t really found anything I’d relate to a habituation. I’m relatively new to this stuff, and was just hoping for a finger in the right direction. Happy hunting!

    1. Do these folks have children that may be contributing to the new boldness?
    2. Did the Sasquatch initiate the gift-giving activity and rock structures?
    3. Did they harvest any potential samples (especially from the mucus like substance?
    4. If that substance that was splattered on the window could be semen and if that has happened before elsewhere?

    My encounter happened in Carleton in the mid 60’s. We had several incidents around my grandparents farm. Michigan definitely has a lot of activity. I’ve lived in Michigan all my life only experienced activity in the SE corner..
