Possible nighttime encounters at a campground near Pine Flat Resort
The witness and a companion were camping in tents in a largely deserted mountain campground. On two consecutive nights after 11 p.m. the witness heard strange sounds near his tent, including chatter, stone-like banging, cough-like and shushing noises, and a deep guttural grunt from about thirty feet away. On the second night small debris struck the side of his tent as if thrown. The companion confirmed hearing weird noises on the first night.
Wood knock in California (2011)
The guest backpacked alone into the remote Sierra camp where the Sierra Sounds were recorded to see if activity continued. During the afternoon he heard a loud wood knock outside his tent, and that night he heard chatter, a barrel being banged, loud bipedal footsteps circling, and breathing right beside the tent. After a quiet interval he heard an unexplained electronic sound outside at 4 a.m. He left the next morning convinced the group was still present.
Howl near Arnold, California (1977)
The witness and a companion were on a deer-hunting trip and had parked to sleep in the bed of a truck. Late at night they heard a loud howl followed by rapid gibberish and saw a dark shape in the road that stood and moved away with smooth motion. After returning to the truck and falling asleep, the witness was awakened by the truck rocking and heard something move alongside the vehicle before kicking scattered camp gear and walking away.
Chatter near Shaver, California
The witness and his wife stayed several nights in a rented cabin off Bretts Mill Road. On the first night they heard non-English chatter, found silver-dollar-sized rocks thrown on the deck and roof, and the next morning followed two large human-like tracks in snow that split and appeared to follow deer. Later the front door was found wide open despite latching difficulty, and on the final early morning something slapped the cabin and turned the locked door handle before running off, prompting them to leave at daylight.
