Knocks heard near Spectacle Pond, 27 miles east of Bangor

The witness had been staying at his camp for over a week and stepped outside late at night before bed. From just inside the woodline a short distance away he heard repeated loud thwacks like wood striking a tree, about ten times over a few minutes and sounding progressively more distant. It was pitch dark so he saw nothing, and he heard no footsteps or brush noise despite dense woods. The next morning he searched the area in daylight and found no sign.

Wood knock
May 2001 Warsaw, Hancock County, Illinois Class B #2992

Unusual vocalizations from Mississippi River bottoms between Hamilton and Warsaw

The witness and his wife repeatedly heard a nighttime vocalization from home that the witness says matched recordings on a Bigfoot website. Each episode lasted a few minutes, caused their dog to growl and bark, and was followed quickly by coyotes howling. They were typically asleep and were woken by the sound. The witness had previously assumed it was a hurt animal and now says he will not investigate it.

June 1993 Fostoria, Hancock County, Ohio Class B #4458

Father and son hear screams identical to the one on the BFRO website.

The witness and a relative awoke before dawn to leave home and heard a loud eerie cry from the direction of a creek and reservoirs. The sound silenced birds and triggered intense barking from many dogs in the area. The relative, described as an experienced hunter, had never heard such a sound. Years later the witness heard a recorded scream that they felt matched what they had heard.
