TIME: Around 1:00am
LOCATION: Ionia
County, Michigan
TERRAIN: open
field with woods behind field
OBSERVED: Was
driving down the road at around 1 am on 2/12/14. When all
the sudden something came out of the field on to the road
next to me. It was going along side my truck about 2 to
4 feet away from my truck. I tried convincing
myself it was a deer, cougar, bear or anything along the
lines. It was none of the above. I sped up to at least
45 mph and it was still beside me with no problem. It was
something I have never seen before. I then increased speed
to 75 to get away from this animal and did not see it again.
The animal was beside me maybe 5 seconds. It seemed much
longer.
Additional Things:
We
went back on 2/13/14 at around noon to see if we could find
tracks. We found them. We took a couple picks
with our camera phone. There were about 5 feet between
steps. This animal was walking on two legs. There were also
deer tracks in this field. The foot prints measured at
least 12 inches. It looked to be the heal was going down
further in the snow than the front part of the
foot.
Activities of Witness:
Driving down the road going to
a plow job. I was not tired, I was not under the
influence of anything. I saw something that I can not
explain what it was, because I have never seen anything like
this before. I am a skeptic or was a skeptic. This is
unexplainable to me.
Description of Creature: This
was an ape like creature. It was shaggy like a bison.(kind
of like corn rolls) It had its head down as it was running
on all fours down the road. Its head appeared to be round to
oval shape. Not like a deer, bear, or cougar. It was a
darker brown. It was going along side the truck and I was
going at least 45 mph.
