Three fisherman hear thrashing about and loud vocalizations

Three people fishing from a boat along a densely vegetated shoreline heard rustling and thrashing suggesting a very large animal nearby. They then heard a very loud, chilling shrill that frightened them, prompting them to leave quickly. As they left, they continued to hear the animal moving rapidly through dense woods uphill and repeating the shrill at intervals until it was roughly a quarter to half mile away.

Youth hears vocalizations and is trailed while fishing on White River

As a child the witness walked upstream out of sight of relatives while fishing. He heard deep grunting sounds and saw thin trees shaking as something unseen moved through dense brush behind him. When he walked back, the movement and branch-breaking sounds followed him step for step and stopped when he reached his relatives. He never saw the source of the sounds and movement.
