Vocalizations and wood knocking in Mark Twain National Forest
The witness had gone to bed in his hunting cabin late Friday night when the forest went quiet and then heard a very loud scream from the southwest answered from the southeast. The exchange repeated four times with answering wood-on-tree bangs between the second and third calls, with the nearer sounds appearing to move farther southeast before all sounds stopped and normal night sounds resumed minutes later.
Memory told of a close encounter while deer hunting east of Salem
While hunting from a tree stand shortly after sunrise, the witness saw a frightened deer run by followed by two upright hairy figures. One figure came within about 15-20 feet, stared face-to-face at eye level for 10-15 seconds and emitted a deep growl before leaving. The witness fled toward a nearby farmhouse, fired a rifle shot overhead and shouted, while movement and noise paralleled him in the woods.
