While staying in cabins, sleepers awakened in early morning by strange sounds and notice unusual smell in Appalachian foothills

A group staying overnight in cabins was awakened around 3 to 4 AM by loud wood-on-wood knocking that continued on and off for about five minutes. The witnesses could not determine the direction or distance of the sounds. Some in the group had noticed a foul odor earlier that night, and a dog had reacted aggressively to something across the hollow the previous evening.

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

The witness and his brother lived in a small cabin and heard loud howling screams from the woods behind the house over about two weeks. The sounds seemed to come closer over successive nights despite shots fired toward the woods. 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.

Two fisherman hear commotion of a roaring animal on brushy bank of Clendening Lake

The witness was fishing from a boat near shore while a companion napped on board. The witness heard footsteps in water, loud roars, splashing, and an animal squealing but saw nothing because shoreline vegetation was very dense. Frightened, the witness moved away quietly and woke the companion, who heard part of the sounds as they left. At the marina a worker said a news crew had previously covered a Bigfoot report at the lake, which led the witness to consider that explanation.
