Hunters hear loud vocalization and breaking branches

After lasting from about 30 seconds to several minutes they retreated to the cabin and their father came outside and also heard the sounds. The source stayed in the woods just outside the cabin floodlights, and deep grunting or breathing was heard after the thrashing stopped.

Memory of finding tracks in snow and the attempt to keep a record south of Quarryville

Early one snowy morning a driver encountered a line of large human-like footprints crossing a road. Later that morning the witness and several neighbors inspected the trackway, which led from a field through yards, past rabbit hutches and a house, and on toward a field and wooded river hills. The prints in snow measured about 16 inches long with a stride of about 4 feet, and the witness made a tracing of the best-preserved print. The cause of the tracks was unknown to the witness and neighbors.
