A Michigan father and 12-year-old son were bow-fishing in a marsh when they say they had a frightening run-in with Bigfoot. The terrifying encounter reportedly occurred this past Sunday morning near the town of Monroe north of Plum Creek.
“I was bow fishing today with my son around 11:30 a.m. We walked down the creek [Plum Creek] past four bridges [railroad bridges] and headed into the marsh,” the father, Edward, wrote in his report to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO). “100 yards into the marsh the dog scared up something that was bedded there. Trees were shaking. We thought it was a group of deer. We continued on 200 more yards to the creek basin in the marsh.”
He says as they paused on their trek “back through cattails” when “all of a sudden” he says he “heard rustling in a tree to the left and a huge thud hitting the ground from the tree.”
“A big heavy animal hit the ground and crouched and start moving towards me through brush,” he recalled. “My dog fired off from the right of me toward the creature. The dog almost got to it but the creature shot off extremely fast through trees and brush. The dog chased the creature up the slope and over the train tracks. I then called for my dog to come back.
“My son said, ‘Holy s— what was that?? It was as big as a bear but it looked like a gorilla!’ We walked back but we heard something crunching on the ground behind us. We left!”
Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization Investigator Matthew Moneymaker followed up with Edward and his son in two separate phone calls.
“I asked enough to discern that it was not a bear,” he reported. “It was a large dark furred primate that ran up a slope on two legs looking like a gorilla from behind. Yes, that would be a Bigfoot.”
This area around the marsh for Tamarack Creek is full of deer. No hunting is allowed there. Only fishing is allowed there. Consequently there are herds of deer in the marsh and woods year round.
There are lots of cattails around this marsh as well.Therefore, two things Bigfoots consume, especially in winter: cattails and deer. There are likely other food sources around this marsh as well.
Moneymaker also pointed out that there are railroad tracks that run from Tamarack Creek to large farm fields that are open and dark at night.
“Bigfoots will walk along railroad beds for long distances,” he explained. “The railroad beds will sometime bring them into pockets of woods very close to towns, as [in] this case.
“The closer a nature pocket is to a town, the greater likelihood that hunting is forbidden there (so the bullets don’t travel into the neighborhoods). The area becomes a defacto safe haven for deer herds. Bigfoot look for deer so they will sometimes end up in pockets of woods near towns like Monroe when there is enough plants and animals to sustain them.”
This is far from the first credible Bigfoot sighting in the state of Michigan. The BFRO has 226 such encounters recorded in its database.
Last year, another Michigan man claimed he was attacked by a Bigfoot and that he was “knocked out cold” by the creature.
