Hikers report possible sasquatch vocals + stalking in center of Harstine Island

Three people walking a gated logging road in the morning heard owl-like calls that seemed to come from ground level, move with them, and come from both sides of the trail. They also heard muffled voice-like sounds and a very loud, low-pitched growl from close in the forest. They noticed oddly broken and arranged branches near a marsh and clearing, felt unwelcome and watched, and left when the sounds stopped near the car.

Growl near Dellrose, Tennessee (2023)

Late at night the witness was gaming at home when she heard a deep growl that grew louder and shifted into a loud distressed bellowing outside her office window.

Wood knock in British Columbia (2023)

During a summer expedition the witness and two companions followed responsive knocking sounds through forest toward a cut line. They exchanged mouth pops, whistles and rock strikes and repeatedly received two and sometimes three knocks back, including pops that seemed to come from the top of a large isolated tree. After sitting and listening for 30 to 45 minutes they found a large track and smaller juvenile-like tracks in moss nearby before leaving as the sounds stopped.
