Man recalls childhood incident near Grayling witnessed in Crawford County, Michigan

Open Map

The creature was not tall by any means probably in the low 6 foot range, I would compare to my current height of 6'1". The hair/fur was a rather rusty brown and wavy or matted. It didn't look like a recently cleaned coat if you were to compare it to cleaning your dogs coat etc. It looked like it was unkept and even sort of dread-locked appearance hair. I do recall that some of the hair on the body was rather long about 10 inches and I could see it move as the creature walked away. It looked a lot like of the reggae/rhasta type hair styles but not completely covering the body but just various strands of it throughout (maybe shedding from winter??). The creature had a rather glum face or expression, like a lonely old man who didn't have any friends. I do recall its eyes sort of reminding my like that of an orangutang and sunken in. It by far didn't look evil, or mad in any way even though we were terrified. I think we may have woken it up and it was surprised and maybe a little irritated...
