The Corn Monster of Michigan

Situated between central and northern Michigan lies the village of Winn. It's located near the intersection of S. Winn Rd. and W. Blanchard Rd. in Fremont Township, Isabella County, about 12 miles southwest of Mount Pleasant.

According to Grandpa Shorter's,

Locals around Wynn claim a monster lurks in the cornfields in the area. A shadowy figure that looks like a large, disheveled man, emerges from the stalks and scares anyone driving in the rural area late at night.

There's actually an account of one such instance from a truck driver who was taking a break one day.
