Possible track found and cast off a trail near Hocking River

A short distance farther they found a small tree freshly broken in half and bent down, which they found odd given its proximity to the print.

Possible tracks found by a man and his dog at a rest stop near Piketon

The witness stopped at a rest area in fresh snow to let a dog out and found large tracks in three paths with a wide spread.

Vocalization in Ohio

Woken by crashing and the dog barking, the witness heard a juvenile on the porch beating the deck and plucking the air conditioner while an adult gave gibberish instructions and the juvenile answered with tongue clicks. Then something wailed on the dog box. In the morning he found a twisted tree, shredded sapling and tracks and made a cast. With a flashlight he saw something large and black moving up the hill.
