Account
A family camping beside a swamp heard a long scream-like grunt that shifted to a screech and ended in grunt-huffing from 100-200 feet away, causing their dogs to react strongly. About 15 minutes later they heard stick-on-stick knocks to the north, then again 15 minutes later from farther north, with no movement detected between sounds. A morning search found no tracks or broken brush, and the family moved camp to another area.
