Bigfoot in Michigan?

[cireofmi]

I am just wondering if there has ever been any susposed Bigfoot sightings any where in Michigan?

[StumpJumper]

Supposedly in Ft. Custer, Battle Creek

[mich buckmaster]

One of my friends could be a bigfoot. He is 6'4 and is like an ape. He is the hairiest person alive. Once he shaved his girlfriends name in his back for a joke and kept his shirt off for weeks.

No, Im kidding, Ive never heard of any bigfoot and if I did I would definately be a doubter.

[StumpJumper]

Uh,, I wear size 15's, does that count?:D :) :p :rolleyes:

[cireofmi]

Thank you for the replies. Since the Bigfoot was seen around Ft Custer it was a military experiment gone wrong. LOL

[yoda]

BigFoot in Michigan, Well, it's a little known fact, but yes there are.... Most of you Southern Folks have heard Very, Very, little about this creature haunting the Deep Dark Forest of the Eastern U.P. And thats wrong, you need to be informed: It's not seen often, Only heard, it's sinister Moan and screech, this sound is heard mainly during the firearms deer season, and for 2 reasons.#1 there are more people in the woods during the "Witching" hour to hear this hidious call, and #2 that is when it's food source is the most plentiful, You see it only makes this call after a KILL !!!! You see, this creature has learned that at certain times of the year Hunting can be Very,Very Good.. It has learned through time that "Caching" food for the hard time of winter can be very easy for about 2 weeks out of the year.. A few Locals have found a few of these "Caches", these people have never been the same. This Killer of Trolls has learned over time that hunting close to trails (2 tracks), Or bedding areas(Tent Camps) can be a very effective way of filling it's larder for the Cold U.P. Winters.. Few locals have ever if Never been Killed by this hidious Beast because we learned generations ago to stay away from its feeding area.... And it has a tast for TROLLS, So beware all trolls Bigfoot is alive and well, and growing in numbers feeding on the folks from Under the Bridge.......:p

We have our own bigfoot right here in Detroit. I usually see her on Eight Mile near Dequindre "hitch hiking". Biggest, ugliest beast you could imagine!:eek:

[$Big Pimpin$]

Yeah there have been several Bigfoot sightings near Fermi lol.

[TimT]

You guys are too much.

I've got an older friend in Caro who swears bigoot lives in the woods next to his house. Speaking of his house, I remember when he wanted to tear it down and live in a MASH tent insulated with pillows.

[CoYoTe-KiLLeR]

well one thing for sure If I ever run into any thing such as a big foot Id blow him away. But I hardly doubt theres such a creature as a big foot. I live in the U.P and never have hear of anyone seeing or hearing one. Put a bounty on his butt and lets put this story to a end.........LMAO:D

[rookie1]

I actually read on a website ( I can't remember which one) that there was a bigfoot sighting in Oscoda in the late 60's. I'm not too sure I believe it.

[Drake]

:eek:

[StumpJumper]

Back in the 60's there were lots of UFO sightings in Oscoda. Quite a few instances where people all along the beach on Lake huron watched jets chase them across the lake. My mother, father and sister had some strange things happen at their cabin in the woods about 1 1/2 miles from Wurthsmith. But if I told you nobody would believe it anyways! :) It was definately a case for Skully and Mulder!

[Moron]

There's the story of the dogman of the north woods. :)
But they are only seen in ten year intervals, the next year of the dogman won't be til 2007.

[JimF]

on the source you ask and how much credit you give to them as to honesty and investigation,there are over 70 total bigfoot reports since 1897 ranging from the upper penninsula to as far south as the Indiana/Ohio state lines. If anyone has does have what they believe to be an encounter with with a bigfoot/sasquatch please feel free to email me via this site. Please, no jokes. I get enough of them as it is already. Any information given will be confidential.

My ex. GF....she still prowls Ionia so watch out Cire...she'll get you!!! :lol:

[Randy Kidd]

I'D almost be willing to bet that if you researched all 50 States, every one of them has their own version of Big Foot..

[mich buckmaster]

I just cant say anything good about this except if I see one I am going to shoot it!!!!!!! :yikes: :bash: :dizzy:

[outdoor junkie]

Supposedly he is real, even though like someone already mentioned he's not supposed to show again until 2007. I saw a show on him on the discovery channel, and also Paul Harvey did a radio show on him. So if you hunt near the Manistee river up around Wexford county I'd be careful walking to my blind in the dark. GOOD LUCK.

[Jr.BowmanMI]

I'd be afraid to shoot a bigfoot cause you know it is just some wacko in a ghillie suit LOL

[mparks]

Yep, saw one at the Pontiac Silverdome. Right before Grave Digger:lol:

[msb]

I found this site a while back....

[skulldugary]

You would have thought they were in Michigan if you would have seen me before I cut my hair off. 6'7",270 lbs.,size 15 shoe and hair to the middle of my back.

[Violator22]

Thats Okay, the cougars there in Michigan will protect me. :yikes: Les

[silversides]

i saw sasquatch a couple years ago up at tippy dam. he was out at night gathering salmon...

[JasonCarp]

I can't believe I ran across this thread. I was a little disappointed to see no sightings in Newaygo county on the Michiganbigfoot.org site. When I was young (5-6) my dad and mom scared the s*** out of me by telling me there was bigfoot sightings in the area near my grandma's house. I was so afraid that I couldn't sleep in the bed alone at her house. (the middle bedroom provided some comfort with only one window instead of two.) She lives on 80 acres between White Cloud and Big Rapids, and it is desolate. It took a long time for me to get over that fear, but I had a great time reminiscing with my cousin this year about it at deer camp (Still going to Grandma's at the age of 35).

[Sam22]

I know the dogman story all too well, supposedly let out of the state mental hospital when it closed... :-)

[shotgun12]

the only big foot you have over there is your trucks.there is no such thing

[duckman#1]

The U.F.O's came and took all the bigfoot away back in the 70's :dizzy: :one_eye: :bash:

[JimF]

For anyone who wants to seriously report thier sighting here in Michigan or anywhere in North America. Please feel free to visit the Sasquatch Research Initiative and take a look around.

[huntndaddy]

This is a freaking joke.


BIG FOOT LOL!!! I swear I didn't inhale.:lol: :lol: :lol:

[cireofmi]

Anyone know the record for the oldest active thread? Look at the date on the first post. lol

[Rupestris]

For those of you that mentioned shooting Big Foot, which caliber in your opinion would be best for huntin' Ol' Squatch?
I imagine something like a .30-30 might just make it pretty angry.

I'll give the same advise I give to anyone heading to Alaska for Brown bear:
File off the front sight of the rifle. That way when you pi55 'em off and it takes your rifle and sticks it up your...:lol:

[ESOX]

Come on guys, every one knows the wild breeding populations of cougars won't put up with big foot in their territory.

I believe this would be the one.

Foley Swamp, Oscoda County, Michigan



The legendary Bigfoot is back, say deer hunters emerging from Foley Swamp in Oscoda County. Reported sightings of an 8-foot hairy creature trickled in to authorities and nearby business owners before the Oct. 1 season began. But the hikers and hunters offer little proof other than their eyewitness accounts. "I've never had any experiences with it, but it's obvious that something is going on up here," said Jane Stone, who with her husband owns the Bear Paw Cabins and The Little Sport Shop in Lucerne near the swamp. "I just don't know what it is," she said. "I have an open mind to it." On Sept. 28, two hikers told the Oscoda County Sheriff's Department they spotted a tall, hairy creature in Foley Swamp in Huron National Forest. Art Kapa of Mayville, a Bigfoot investigator for 21 years, said he gets annual reports of sightings in Lucerne, Mio and Lewiston.

"The area is full of swamp, valleys and excellent hiding places," Kapa said by telephone from his home Monday. Kapa insists that there are several such creatures. "There has to be more than one," Kapa said. "But we're not talking about a tremendous population where you see one whenever you turn a corner."

[steelers fan]

Why are there no bigfoot sightings during deer season??? answer... people in monkey suits don't want anything to do with rednecks with 30-06's

[jeb]

:D It was in the late 70s I think or maybe the early 80s when a couple of loacals of Dansville saw the thing crossing M36 not far out of town:SHOCKED: . The first place they went to tell of this was the Wooden Nickle:corkysm55 . then the fowling spring we had a Bigfoot race on May 25. :confused: and have had one race that is every year after that. I no the dog :SHOCKED: I had then would not go in to one part of the Dansville state game area for a couple of years.:lol:

[Rupestris]

[StumpJumper]

Yeah you might mistake my tracks for his too. I've been teased about my feet all my life. I finally stopped at size 15.

Now when someone stops and says "damn, what size shoe you wear?!?!

I say "yeah, I know they say bigfoot and I have alot in common.....

We're both hung like apes!" :lol:

[Rich Baker]

I don't know if he exists but my mother-in-law could pass for one. Here she is washing up at deer camp http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/rbfree/bf9.jpg :SHOCKED: :yikes:

[Rich Baker]

I did find this sign out hunting near my home in oregon but I figure it was just bunny huggers trying to scare off the hunters. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/rbfree/25582558bigfoot.jpg

[yooper357]

For those of you who claim to have seen BIGFOOT... Did you smell a HORRENDOUS AROMA in the air? Supposedly he STINKS SOMETHING AWFUL and comes with THE WORSE CASE OF B.O. IMAGINEABLE!?!? :yikes:
I swear to god that I am not joking, but read this and several folks have said that the "SASQUATCH STUD MUFFIN" smells ABSOLUTELY DASHING! <-- SARCASM ha,ha,ha I also read a book called ARCTIC HOMESTEAD where they made reference to his EXTREME ODOR as the wilderness family claimed he was in the woods around their cabin stalking them. They always knew when he was around as they could SMELL HIM.

I've seen and heard enough to want to find more definitive evidence of Bigfoot.

I heard a very loud and scary scream coming from the swamp behind our house last hunting season on 2 different nights. A post from this thread suggested an interesting possibility for why this happened when it did. Perhaps I'll have to search for evidence of a deer stash.

I backpacked in Desolation Wilderness in California last year. I photographed some very large footprints. They were very washed out, but they were quite intriguing.

If I can figure out the picture post thing I wouldn't mind sharing a couple pictures.

[Adventure484]

So I’m sittin her reading this sasquach thread and someone mentions hunting sasquach. Then it all comes together. Only in the fall do we get to get together at deer camp and for those lucky enough spring turkey, or fishing. Why not go sasquach hunting?? This may sound stupid, but it is genius. In the spring we put this camp together that were supposedly “hunting” sasquach. When all it really is, is a spring version of deer camp. Man, I love deer camp, and I’ve had a great time at deer camp, although I have never shot a deer. But I’ve never shot a sasquach either. We all know what goes on at deer camp; a good time with good friends, but spring is missing this whole concept. Yeah, fishing will do, but it’s not the same. Don’t get me wrong I love to fish, but it’s just not the same. So I hereby declare sasquach season to be the whole month of May. Therefore you and your friends must go set up “deer” or should I say sasquach camp. You must hunt for sasquach and morals and fry up the morals, and if you’re lucky enough to bag one of those beasts, they are mighty tasty with morals. So pack your gear and get ready for Sasquach season. Man, I can hardly wait :mischeif: .

[Dormin]

I recall newspaper accounts of sightings during the 60's of bigfoot in Michigan. I tend to be a sceptic tho.

[Paulverisor]

From a few posts back I mentioned something about some footprints I took pictures of from my trip to Desolation wilderness. This really doesn't show much because the prints were washed out with the passing of time, but they were quite large prints. I'm going to try posting this.http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1686/1527/1600/BFpost.jpg
