Growl near Livingston, Texas

A few weeks later the guest returned to the same area with three companions and camped in the pines. After limb-snapping and a deep primate-like call, something approached the tent at night, growled in front and then circled it with light footsteps on pine needles. At daylight they found a large footprint-like impression inches behind the tent where one companion's head had been.

Dogman sighting in South Dakota

While camped on BLM land near Badlands National Park, the couple heard distressed cows for hours and noticed one dog refuse to leave the truck. During a moonlit walk they lay down to look at stars, their dog barked, and they saw a very large black canine-like figure about sixty yards away with no eye shine that seemed to absorb flashlight beams while panting loudly. A second closer larger figure seen by the boyfriend flanked them, both followed the couple about a quarter mile back toward camp before disappearing, after which cows vocalized again.

Upstairs sounded like someone playing jacks with bouncing ball and metal pieces, with cold spots and feeling of being watched. Lights flickered and ceiling fans spun with switches off, stopping after occupants apologized for noise. A visitor searched the house without finding occupants who were present.

Four people camped in a van by the lake and walked up a logging trail with torches. The dog ran ahead and fled yelping to the house.
