Possible encounter while hunting near Northfield Falls
On two November 2015 mornings the witness sat in a remote hunting spot before sunrise and heard close-range tree breaks and knocks followed by a scream/whoop vocalization shortly after turning off a light. Conditions were clear, cold and very quiet on both occasions. The witness, an experienced outdoors person, said nothing like it had happened before or since.
Possible stalking at Hildene Mansion grounds, near Manchester
The witness was camping on the mansion grounds for a re-enactment event. Late Saturday night the witness sat around a campfire at the edge of the woods with two companions and heard footsteps moving inside the woods. They shined a flashlight toward the sound and it stopped, then resumed moving away after the light was turned off. No source was seen.
Possible prowling at TinkerBrook shelter in Calvin Coolidge State Forest
The witness and a relative camped overnight in a remote lean-to shelter in a forested ravine. After going to sleep, both were awakened by repeated knocking and pushing sensations against the shelter that continued intermittently until about 3 a.m. The witness checked outside with a flashlight but saw nothing, and a morning search found no damage or tracks, so they left without staying another night.
Highpitched vocalizations heard near Morrisville
The witness was visiting a relative's remote cabin in Vermont late at night when the group heard a loud, child-like screaming approaching from a wooded ridge. The source was described as moving quickly along the ridge and disturbing dogs as it passed. It approached to within about 100 feet of the porch where the witness stood with a relative, then turned and left down the valley. The only visual was a dark shape with eyeshine about four feet off the ground, and the source was never identified.
