TALE
THERE WAS A YOUNG COUPLE NECKING IN A CAR AT LOVERS' LANE.
THEY HAD THE RADIO TUNED IN TO A NEWS BROADCAST, WHEN
THEY HEARD THAT THERE WAS AN ESCAPEE FROM A MENTAL
INSTITUTION IN THEIR IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORHOOD. THE MAN WAS
DANGEROUS, AND COULD BE IDENTIFIED BY A HOOK FOR A RIGHT
HAND.
THE GIRL BECAME FRIGHTENED AND INSISTED THAT THE BOY TAKE
HER HOME. HE WAS ANNOYED WITH HER AND SHOWED IT BY
RACING OUT OF THE PARK.
WHEN HE GOT OUT OF THE CAR TO OPEN THE GIRL'S DOOR,
THOUGH, HE NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A HOOK CAUGHT IN THE
HANDLE OF THE DOOR TO HER SIDE OF THE CAR.

LOGGING LEGEND
DURING THE TIMES WHEN NORTHERN MICHIGAN WAS MOSTLY VIRGIN
FORESTS, THE LOGGING COMPANIES WERE BUSY STAKING OUT
CLAIMS AND CUTTING THE TIMBER. THE LOGGING COMPANIES
WOULD HIRE CERTAIN MEN FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF EXPLORING
THE UNCHARTED LANDS AND STAKING OUT CLAIMS. IT
APPEARS THAT OFTEN THESE MEN WOULD GET LOST AND NEVER
RETURN. LEGEND HAS IT THAT THESE MEN HAD TO REVERT TO
NATURE TO SURVIVE AND IN TIME THEY BECAME ACTUAL WILD
MEN.
IF YOU'RE EVER WALKING THROUGH THE NORTHERN FORESTS AND
YOU FEEL THAT SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING YOU, YOU WILL KNOW
THAT IT IS ONE OF THESE WILD MEN.
MANY TIMES TRAPPERS AND EXPLORERS WOULD UNACCOUNTABLY
LOSE THINGS FROM THEIR GEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,
BUT THEY KNEW WHERE IT WENT--TO THESE WILD MEN. THE
SAME IS TRUE TODAY; IF YOU LOSE SOMETHING UNACCOUNTABLY,
YOU WILL KNOW THAT IT WAS TAKEN BY ONE OF THESE WILD
MEN.
