Family hears "Ohio Howls" in the historic Marble Creek drainage, 47 mi SE of Coeur d’Alene

The witness was camping with family along Marble Creek near Avery in July 2019. While preparing dinner at dusk, she heard repeated long siren-like howls echoing from higher elevation. She could not match the sound to known owls or large animals, and her dog hid under the table. She later compared it to the Ohio Howl recording on the BFRO site.

Object throwing in Ohio (2019)

The witness and three friends camped in the park in summer 2019 and hiked the towpath trail near the river after dusk. They had sticks then small rocks thrown behind them, smelled a pungent odor, felt watched, and fled. After stopping to rest they heard a loud deep growl and saw a very tall dark-haired humanoid in a weapon-mounted light before it stepped behind an oak and disappeared. They ran to camp, heard disturbances overnight, and in the morning found the campsite strewn about, a food pot missing, and two neat piles of large rocks by the fire pit.

Camper hears Ohio howls at 4-5am near Rimrock Lake.

The witness was staying overnight at a forested campground when they heard four loud howls from about a mile away between 4 and 5 a.m. Each howl lasted a few seconds and was spaced minutes apart, with distant dogs barking afterward, and the sounds stopped at dawn. The witness first thought the sounds could be wildlife or a person but later felt they matched a televised Sasquatch howl recording described as deep and ape-like.

Rock throwing and stalking near Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest

The witness and two relatives were camped in a remote site in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Late at night the witness heard prolonged rustling and crackling at the camper's tarp porch, initially thinking a bear had returned. About half an hour later multiple rounds of rocks struck the camper, including a larger rock on the roof, waking the other two campers. In the morning the camp was undisturbed and a rock was found in a hammock behind the camper.

Tree break in Missouri (2019)

A couple camping alone heard a tree fall, paired tree knocks, grunts, and a growl during the day and evening. After midnight, heavy human-like footsteps circled their tent and campfire, left, returned, then moved off as vehicle lights were flashed. They left the tent for their vehicle and learned the landowner's trail camera captured an orb light that same night.

Later after charging her phone at the cabin, she examined the photo and perceived a figure standing behind a tree looking toward her.

Sighting by motorist 10 miles SE of Big Thicket National Preserve

The witness and a young companion were driving slowly north on Bragg Road with only parking lights on to look for the local lights. A tall dark bipedal figure emerged from woods on the east side about 20 feet in front of the truck and walked slowly across the road. It paused to look toward the occupants, showing eyeshine in the parking lights, then stepped over the road grade into the forest while crunching sounds were heard as it walked away. The witness stopped briefly then left immediately, unsettled by the human-like appearance and size.

Movement only in Pennsylvania (2019)

After moving to western Pennsylvania, the witness took his dog for a hike on Quarry Trail in Linn Run State Park. Something paced him in thick hillside brush, stopping when he stopped, followed by two tree knocks and a loud deep scream from further up. On the return the dog acted alarmed, watching the brush behind him until they reached a rock outcropping and left. A researcher later visited the same area and photographed a bare human-like footprint and overturned rocks.

At twilight the eyes closed and something moved away quietly before giving a loud exhaling sound. Later they estimated the eye height at eight to nine feet and found no tracks.
