At Sabbathday Point, Family Reports strange sounds near their cabin

Over two-week periods in 1992 and 1993, the witness repeatedly heard loud nighttime sounds near a lakeside cabin, described as whistling, chattering, screams and deep thumping lasting one to four minutes. The sounds seemed to move quickly from a mountaintop to the road area about 200 feet away, possibly involving two callers. The witness looked out with a flashlight but saw nothing and remained inside out of fear.

A couple hiking down a mountain road at dusk heard a large unseen presence moving through the woods beside the road.

They spoke loudly to try to scare it away and judged from the loud crunching steps that it was very large and not a deer.

Two separate encounters with "thing" leave three friends scared, shaken and curious.

Shortly after 1:30 a.m., the witness and two companions heard screaming and metal being torn near junked cars below an old railbed. A very large presence came up the steep bank and stood close enough for its breath to be felt, accompanied by a foul odor. When the group fled toward the road it chased them with audible footsteps before stopping at the brush, and a heavy station wagon nearby was later found overturned and torn apart.
