Strange howls heard at night. Two weeks later, witnesses observe large, hairy creature. Some physical evidence discovered the following day

On a final night a very loud howl came from right under the upstairs bedroom window, and the next day broken back steps, a splintered door frame, a strong foul odor, and frightened dogs were noted, after which the witness moved out.
