Sequence of loud vocalizations heard by campers

The witness took two young relatives camping overnight near an old logging road and storm-damaged trees. During the evening and night the group repeatedly heard unidentified noises and guttural patterned calls that seemed to get responses from farther away.

No footprints were found on the hard ground.

Two people in canoe see creature on shoreline

Two companions fishing from a canoe at dusk noticed a dark crouched shape on the shoreline about 50 yards away. As they rowed closer the shape stood upright to about seven feet, looked toward them, turned toward a twig-snapping sound behind it, then spun and ran into the forest with further movement sounds heard. After waiting in the canoe, they paddled ashore and found two obscured marks in the sand where it had turned.
