Father & daughter sighting in Yellowwood State Forest

The witness and a young relative were turkey hunting in a state forest in the morning when the relative first spotted a figure. The witness then watched a grey, powerfully built figure about six feet tall move away from them, covering over 50 meters in seconds. They later retraced the same route and found it took them about six minutes.

Campers hear possible vocalizations on Yellowwood Lake

The witness and his wife were asleep in their camper at a campground when they were woken by very loud, deep, long howls from very close by. The close howls occurred twice, and each time a similar call answered from across the lake. They stayed awake listening but heard nothing further and felt the sounds were not a dog, coyote, or human.

Eight years ago like it was only eight days

The witness and a companion were in bed at a rented cabin late at night when their dogs became agitated and then unusually quiet. A companion heard heavy breathing just beside the front door in the dark and noticed a strong musky odor. After preparing a light, they found large wet footprints crossing the porch, and the dogs remained unsettled all night.

After hearing rustling below, the witness used a flashlight and saw a tall dark-haired bipedal figure hiding behind trees about 40 feet away.

Two campers hear strange sounds and see the outline of an upright creature.

The witness and a relative were camping and had just built a fire when they heard a scream from a ridge. After firing a shotgun into the air, they saw the moonlit outline of an upright human-like figure running toward the water's edge while making an unfamiliar howling sound. They also noticed something that looked like a large footprint but were unsure about it.
