The only thing about the cold theory that strikes me as weird is the specific height that they are breaking at. Of course if we were in parts of California or some place that gets hot in the summer, I could see them using heat as an excuse too. I’ve seen that one–stranger than big foot. This large oak just exploded and threw shrapnel at least 500 ft. Say, did anyone report any foot prints?

As a Michigander….I would love BF in Mich. Sigh….
But please, people, keep the “skepticals” on.
Helps to filter out the junk reports.
Reality of BF in Upper Peninsula – possible. Amazing place.
But elsewhere in the state…..I don’t know. Like I said, I’d be the first to shout yipee if it was confirmed. But snapped trees does not automatically equal BF. The Press certainly loves it though.

Michigan needs to be more carefully looked at by the Bigfoot community, not because of snapped tree branches, but because of the amount of wilderness that is capable of housing an ape. The potential is here, and it needs to be utilized by those who research the mystery.

I agree with mystery_man: no reason to speculate on bigfoot here. I have seen trees snap from the cold as was mentioned in the article. Without any other evidence we might just as well speculate that it was caused by a low flying saucer!

Why can’t anyone find some BigFoot Dung? Don’t they go to the John to put it politely?

I think a first step in an investigation like this should be a late night trip to the local hang-out to see if there’s any scuttlebutt involving adolescent (acting) men and prohibited substances, but not before checking out Google Earth which shows this little marsh in a particularly significant location despite its proximity to what passes for “densely settled” in those parts of Michigan. The marsh is a coastal logoon at the head of a bay. While the current drainage travels through “downtown”, the little marsh’s formation is no doubt the result of the ancestral stream bed which can still be seen and would be a prime candidate for a wild critter seeking to follow its instinctive drive towards a spring-time migration of the local anadromous fish population. Anyone know if the steelhead are runnin’? Smelt? Coho? I notice too that while the area is widely covered with small plots of land, it looks like a lot of ‘em are doing what small previously farmed plots of land have been doing for the last quarter century; returning towards the original condition of the land…and rarely visited.

I am not doubting that Bigfoot could exist in Michigan, but I think it is a bit premature to attribute these broken trees to Bigfoot without any other evidence to support that theory. There could very well be other phenomena at work here. I find it funny that some people thought the only possible culprit could be a large, hairy, bipedal hominid. That sort of quick assumption is exactly one of the reasons why mainstream science cringes when it comes to stuff like this.

It’s no surprise to those of us who live in Michigan that Bigfoot may roam the wilderness here. I’ve investigated a number of sightings here in the UP and elsewhere. I’ve talked to many other people who pass along secondhand reports of someone they know who saw a possible Bigfoot or found possible footprints. Living in the remote woods of the UP, I can testify to the fact that we have ample territory in which Bigfoots could live.

It’s good to see Bigfoot in Michigan getting some attention. I live there, far away from Bay City, but still in an area where I’m surprised there isn’t more attention paid to the possibility of something being in the woods around here. There is so much wooded, uninhabited land in the upper peninsula, and certain areas of the Lower Peninsula. Something is living in this state, and it’s just a matter of time before someone finds it. Thanks for finding this Craig.

Did anyone look for hair left on the trees?
