Hunter experiences eerie silence, foul odor and possible wood knocking in the Cardinal Marsh Wildlife Management Area

Roughly an hour later he heard paired thudding sounds like logs or a log hitting a tree, which repeated again after about another hour from the same location. The woods around his stand were unusually quiet, while his companion farther upstream reported normal wildlife activity.

Sasquatch sighting near Lander, Wyoming (2010)

While staying about a week to help move his elderly grandmother, the 11-year-old guest rode a mountain bike daily on wide trails toward the national forest and often felt watched. One day the woods went quiet and he heard childlike playing shift to indistinct murmuring, then heavy bipedal footsteps approaching through brush. A roughly nine-foot, black-haired, barrel-chested male stepped onto the trail about 30 yards away, made rapid mouth-popping clicks answered from the brush, then growled and changed expression when the witness turned his bike. A second taller individual stood up in the brush showing chest and head, the witness rode about two and a half miles home, and family members dismissed the report as a bear.
