Outdoorsman experiences vocalizations and rock throwing on the Sipsey River
Account
The witness was pulling his canoe out of the Sipsey River at dusk to load it for transport when he heard a series of very loud, powerful whoops from a distance, followed after a pause by three more. He said the sound was unlike any owl or other woods or river sound he knew and it frightened him into quickly carrying the canoe up a steep hill to his car. He later noted the whoops sounded like examples on a Bigfoot website and said researchers told him they had no one working that area at the time.
