What We Saw Wasn't Human — And It Wouldn't Stop Coming | Michigan

What happens when two kids go out blueberry picking in the pine forests of Oscoda, Michigan — and come face-to-face with something that isn’t supposed to exist? In this haunting episode, Richie recounts a summer morning in 1971 that would change his life forever. Alongside his older sister, Richie encountered a tall, dark-haired creature walking calmly toward them on a wooded trail — not aggressive, not scared, just watching. What followed was a childhood memory seared into place by fear, disbelief, and the long road to understanding what they saw.

You’ll hear details of the encounter, from the trail near Van Ettan Lake to the face Richie can still describe over 50 years later. He shares how the sighting led to a lifetime of wondering — and why he believes Bigfoot wasn’t there to harm them. This isn’t just another encounter story — it’s a rare glimpse into the innocent fear of two kids, and a moment that refused to fade.
If you’re from northern Michigan, pay attention — because this one hits close to home.
