Paranormal group experiences possible activity outside Oak Creek

Two people from a paranormal group were in a wooded park at night setting up for an EVP session. They heard knocking sounds, snorting, and sounds they interpreted as a deer being killed very close by. As they left the area they photographed eyeshine that appeared well above a three-foot-tall crop in an adjacent field.

Boy has possible nighttime encounter near family campfire close to Raccoon River

The witness was camping with family when the group heard knocking and branch-breaking sounds for about an hour.

Structure or nest in Wisconsin (2012)

While walking a ridge the witness noticed bent saplings and knocked on a tree, receiving clear wood-knock replies from a steep kettle below. A large living oak branch was then twisted toward the witness and ripped off, falling to the kettle bottom. Returning later with two companions, they found fresh twist damage and hand-like bark rubs with strong odor, then a young companion saw a light-colored bipedal figure and all heard a deep growl.

Possible sighting and footprints found by father and son while setting turtle lines outside Deltona

A witness and his two sons were leaving an area where they had been setting turtle lines when the witness saw a tall reddish biped near a dirt road about a quarter-mile away that stepped into the woods.

They found two barefoot-like prints beside deer tracks at the spot, but rain covered them before photos could be taken.

While target shooting a family observes a large bi-ped in a blackberry patch near the town of Rainier

The witness and four companions were pausing in a hay field during a target-practice outing when the witness spotted a large dark figure rising from a blackberry patch. The figure walked across a trail, paused by a fir tree and looked toward the group, then continued into an adjacent field. The group went to the spot, found flattened brush and a bent-grass trail, estimated the figure's height against the tree, took photos, and then heard knocking beats and hooting sounds after birds flushed and dogs barked in the distance.

Humanoid figure spotted at night near Octagon Hall during paranormal investigation

During a nighttime paranormal investigation, two people walked to a tree clump in open fields after hearing about a sighting the night before. After making whoop and howl sounds and hearing possible distant replies, they watched a tall dark human-like silhouette peer from behind a tree 30-40 yards away and sway side to side for several minutes. When they tried to approach, the figure disappeared, and checking the tree revealed nothing to explain what they had seen.

Hiker has daylight sighting near Olive Branch

The witness reported walking back along a trail after making calls with no response when he found a very large footprint and a scat pile containing vegetation and shell fragments. Moments later he saw a very tall, heavily built, dark brownish creature about 70-80 feet away that had been digging at a ground hornet nest. The creature then ran rapidly down one ridge and up another at a speed the witness felt could not be matched, and disappeared. The witness then collected his things and left for his car.

Photos were taken by the group, while two unrelated visitors who also photographed it left quickly appearing scared.

The pair searched by vehicle without finding it, and a later site visit involved re-creation measurements.

Gas field trucker has encounter at well head near Aledo

A saltwater hauler working after midnight at an oil-field tank site reported seeing glowing red eyes above a 9-10 foot fence during an unusually quiet period with a skunk-like odor and a low growl. The figure moved out of view and then threw about five tennis-ball-sized rocks toward the storage tanks, with two striking the nearest tank. The witness felt intimidated and left the site, returning the following night to look for the rocks.
