A reported Bigfoot sighting by a father and son in Southeast Michigan has been deemed “credible”.
A 47-year-old man and his 12-year-old son were bow-fishing around 11:30am on Sunday, May 18th in a swampy marsh area off I-75 and Laplaisance Road in Monroe. Their dog apparently chased the creature away.
A report was released this week by the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, describing it as credible and a “Class A encounter”.
Apparently, Bigfoot sightings are somewhat common in Michigan.
A link to the full report is provided.
