Michigan Bigfoot
By Linda Martin – @2009 – http://www.bigfootsightings.org
Have you had a Bigfoot sighting in the state of Michigan? If so, you’re not alone, and there’s a team of Bigfoot researchers ready to take your report. They also follow up on recent Bigfoot sighting reports, whenever possible. Michigan Bigfoot provides a forum for anyone having questions or comments about Bigfoot research in Michigan, and there’s a sighting report form online. All personal information is kept confidential at the request of those who have seen Bigfoot. Privacy is a priority and all copyright on photographic evidence is respected.
The site contains a detailed article about trail cams: Game Cameras and their Potential Use in Field Research – which includes camera setup, choosing a location, stealth, and deployment for long-term field research projects. Although to date there have been no good photos of Bigfoot taken with trail cams, they are still popular with Bigfoot researchers. The author of this article believes that if more of them are placed in the field, eventually a good photograph of a Bigfoot will be taken.
Did you ever wonder what Bigfoot researchers do during their weekend squatching adventures? On the Field Journal page there’s a detailed account of a 2004 Bigfoot research expedition that included call blasting, wood knocking, and a response!
There’s a photo gallery page where you can see the type of terrain these researchers work in. It definitely looks like Bigfoot country!
For more information on this group, see the What We Do page. This Bigfoot research team gives Michigan residents a valuable resource for feedback whenever a Bigfoot is seen.

I have a question? What if one “finds” a Bigfoot body in the woods and wishes to take full advantage of any monetary rewards of being the first to present a Bigfoot body? Just asking. I have, however, made that the subject of my Sept. 7 newspaper column “A Matter of Time.”

Good question, Linda.. is your column online? I’d like to read it.

Hey Linda, That is a good question. I seen where some college students where doing an experiment to see how fast a full grown deer would decompose to total dust. They propped a time-lapsed camera about 4 feet above this freshly killed deer and to my utter astonishment this deer was completely, absolutely, totally gone to where you only see leaves that were under it in 7 days. I have been studying Bigfoot ever since I had an “incident” while Bowhunting for Whitetail in Michigan. I found this hidden empty pond that was totally surrounded by thick foilage all the way around it. If you stood out side of it you could not see what was inside of the trees and when you jump down the 10 foot bank into the empty pond you could not see out. It is totally hidden. The bottom of the pond is clear of anything, it’s like a small colliseum of trees, and a little dark from the canopy of trees. But along the 10 foot bank all the way around is tangled branches and dead trees so that you can barely see the dirt, and it looks like its been dug out in a couple of places. The first time I pushed my way through the branches and found this pond I jumped down the bank and walked to the middle of the pond. Even though I had my bow with me, something told me to run, that I was being watched, and when I tried to peer through the entangled embankment as I was leaving I could have swore that I seen something looking back. Like it was dug out like a cave. I can’t explain the feeling, something just said that I was not supposed to be there. I got another chance to hunt that property 2 years later. I went to the north end of the pond where there was at one point and time a nice size creek that flowed about 50 feet from the pond, it was dried up now and full of dead trees. I sat right in the middle of the creek and faced the pond. It was right around twilight or dusk when I started to gather up my gear and put everything in my backpack so when it got totally dark I could just grab my bow and pack and go. I zipped up the last zipper on my pack when I caught the flight of an extremly large bird flying directly at me and at the last second It turned and landed in a tree about 20 yards to my right, and about 10 feet up in the tree. I tried to see exactly what tree it landed in to get a better look at it but it was getting too dark to see good. Just then I heard the loudest blood-curling scream ever in my life, coming from the same direction as the bird but it did not fly away. Then I heard like a 6 inch branch being slowly stepped on so the crunch and crackle noise lasted like someone was slowly stepping on a dead branch on the ground on purpose. It did not make sense to me, a scream 10 feet up in the air, and a huge branch being broken on the ground. The next thing I realized was I was hurdling dead logs all the way back to my friends garage. When I got there my friend was waiting for me and said “Did you hear that scream?” I said “Yes, what is it?” He said that he has no idea, but nobody goes back there anymore. I know what it is it’s Bigfoot. I believe he lives in the bank of the pond. Anyway I’m putting together a trip back there, so if you know anyone that would be interested, just let me know.

Where was this located in MI?

@ Mark Fairall,
Have you made your trip back to there yet? Is this site in the lower or upper MI? I am in Tuscola CO, right on the border of Tuscola & Genesee counties. I know of a pond with basically the same description in my area. I would be interested in tagging along if you have not made your return visit & your not to far away.

I live in Michigan and have “roughed it” to some pretty remote areas with just what I can fit on my back – usually starting out with a canoe. I am extremely curious as to where this occurred. If you are going back out there or would e-mail me the location, I would appreciate it.

Hate to burst your bubble, but sounds like a screech owl to me, especially since you saw a large bird land in the tree as it was getting dark. They can make a pretty eery screaming sound.

Hey everyone, Sorry it took so long to respond, but yes this location is in michigan. Even though I have not been there for a year I get any updates about screams or livestock taken or footprints and there has been all of that in the last year so here is the impending question, what can we do to prove its existence, try and capture it somehow, film it,,even though we see how film is treated, people still don’t believe the Patterson film and that’s as real as it gets. Just to storm the area without a plan going in is foolish. I also have another location where I was grunted at here in Michigan while I was bow hunting. If you actually study the sighting locations in Michigan it is very apparent where the hotspots are and both of my encounters took place in two of the hotspots. If we could put together an independent team from this sight to go back to these areas and spend some time I know that we will come out with good solid evidence. So if you are still interested respond to this with an idea to finally prove the existence of bigfoot and lets go get him. Don’t forget to bring your cameras. Look forward to talking to you. Mark

3 years ago I and another old friend where ridding our 4 wheelers in Omer Mi. As we left for home my friend was in front of me in his car. I stayed back because of dust. When I departed I could here brush cracking off to the side. I just got a glimpse of something Black, then It was gone. I have been in that area since I was a kid, and don’t remember any Bear sitings? I thought I should share this

I have hunted Michigan all my life for about 34 year, or more. Last year I decided to head back to Gladwin Michigan, where I like to hunt due to it being close to where I live. I was with my two sons , and a friend of theirs this past season Oct 2012. The boys headed up the trail to put up a stand while I was just walking down the trail about 400 yds away from them. There is a huge swamp with mix of trees, high grasses, and islands to my right side. This goes for miles and is too difficult to go into.due to all of the tall grasses,and water.. I heard a sound I have never heard before which continued on, and off for about 15-20 minutes or more. I would describe the noise like a mix of a coyote, and a wounded animal. I know how coyotes sound ,and they do not make a 6 to10 time quick, repeating ,whooping type of high scream, it would stop for a few seconds ,and continue again,and again very quickly. The coyotes I hear do a 1 time howl call like a wolf, and then the yipping.. This was more of a broken up scream howl. I meet up with my boys, and their friend, and asked them if they heard this. They said yes, but didn’t know what it was either. I have never ever heard such a noise in any of the many woods I have been in. I hunt by myself quite a bit, and I am not sure what made this noise. It was around 1pm in the afternoon as well. This is highly unlikely for coyotes which sound off at dusk, or later. But again, I know this wasn’t a coyote sound, it is the best example of what I heard in a different pitch, and broken up repetitions. I will be heading back up there to do some scouting with my brother from Grand Rapids area [Middleville]. We plan on going around the swamp to look for bigger deer signs for next years hunting spots. I am hopping to hear this again with him. Who knows though. I have never heard it before….This is also on state land…….
