Wood knock in Ontario
The witness describes a fall investigation in a remote forest north of the city. A prior night vigil yielded stomps, calls, knocks and sounds of something circling camp.

Footsteps in Washington
Audio recorders left around camp overnight captured three loud steps described as booms. On playback the sound was described as seeming to say a team member's name between pounds. The guest notes the recorder was placed just below where he had been sleeping.
Vocalization in Missouri
While at camp one night the witness had a recorder placed three-quarters of a mile away. During audio review the witness heard his own distinct laugh on the distant recorder, though the sound could not have traveled that far normally. He interprets it as possible mimicking.
Vocalization in Missouri
After previously recording a deep backup-alarm-like sound in the early morning, the witness demonstrated the beep sound at camp while a recorder ran on the truck. Something in the woods answered with matching beeps after each demonstration, four times in about 15 minutes. Additional similar sounds were recorded after the group left recorders past midnight.
Vocalization in Missouri
In the spring following the first grunt recording, the witness used the same technique of leaving a recorder on the truck during a day exploratory hike. A second similar grunting incident was recorded in the same area.
Chatter
On a day scouting trip the group followed a possible trail to a structure and left a drop-box recorder in a tree at 3 p.m. Audio review later revealed unusual chatter and activity. That night a hike produced distant screams and a large parabolic at camp recorded bipedal walking.
Tracks in Missouri
The same truck-driver couple described ongoing activity at a cabin property they bought about three years ago on the outskirts of Mark Twain National Forest. After a few months all regular wildlife stopped visiting, and motion cameras began triggering nightly around 10-11 with nothing visible but low growls and a distant siren-like scream that set dogs barking. They also found footprints with toe ridges, fresh tree breaks, bent and intertwined trees, and a semi-circular stacked-log structure of large broken trees behind the property.
Vehicle contact in Washington
The film crew parked an RV at the mountain encounter area during rainy weather and sent one member up the hill. Later they recorded tapping sounds on the vehicle, saw a possible light on night vision, and heard distant vocalizations. Around early morning two members heard a deep growl very close to the vehicle and retreated inside.
Vocalization
Around 2 a.m. the guest heard clicking and movement around tents and vehicles. After hours of activity, something lifted a Dutch oven lid, charged 30 feet, pushed a fist through his tent window and then pushed its face inches from his. He held a pistol, heard a voice telling him to kick his legs, did so, and the group left chirping. Urine, prints and handprints were found.
Vocalization in Texas
While the group talked around a campfire, a recorder left about one hundred twenty yards away captured what sounded like two individuals communicating. The recording was described as clear monkey-like talk rather than screams. The witness offered to share the audio for cleanup and analysis.
Rock throwing in Texas
The witness spent the night alone by a bridge cooking fish. Stones were repeatedly thrown from both sides of the road, with one leaving a mark on the vehicle. A loud smack on the metal bridge, a growl, and a large crash in the woods were also heard and recorded. The witness stayed all night talking aloud to cope and now avoids going alone.
Growl in Georgia
The witness walked down his driveway with his dog after a vague sound and said hello. Immediately a loud growl was captured on video and the dog went crazy. He said this was one of three similar close growls.
Rock throwing
On the team's first night at the historic property a rock was thrown and hit the witness's vehicle. They recorded grunting and other vocals. Earlier that day they had found circular pine beds and tracks.
Unidentified sound near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
Two investigators made repeated nighttime visits to a closed metal bridge near another covered bridge. They reported loud knocks and bangs from under and around the bridge, unexplained lights in the woods and swamp, and being paced. They also described entering an intensely cold spot on the path where one felt drained, had to kneel, vomited while walking back, and felt sick the next day.
Vocalization in Michigan
A woman living near a large airport sent the witness audio of loud yelling and screaming. She also reported strange footprints, a presence in her barn, large crossed-tree blockages on trails, and small trees and flowers left on her porch after she cleared them. Contact was later lost without identifying the source.
Vocalization near Isabella County
Residents of a central Michigan farm reported frequent night vocalizations over several years. Recorders captured goat-like and horse-like sounds, breathing and banging on a food barrel, and loud knocks from the woods when people moved between buildings. The witness investigated possible human sources and found one distant caller to exclude, but did not see the source.
Growl near Isabella County
The witness visited a central Michigan farm property late at night to retrieve recorders. A powerful growl was felt in the chest from a distance, followed by two vocalizers calling back and forth while moving away. The exchange lasted many minutes and was partially recorded after the witness restarted equipment.
Footsteps near Hillsdale, Michigan
The witness volunteered as bait on a southern Michigan property while others monitored with microphones. Operators reported footsteps following the witness along a road. On other nights the group broadcast whale sounds and later recorded similar sounds unprompted, and daytime slapping on a garage was reported until cameras and lights were installed.
