Another nighttime incident near Hoadley, off Hoadley Road (Wayne Nat. For.)

The witness and a companion camped in Wayne National Forest over a holiday weekend. After mimicking animal sounds in the evening, the witness stayed awake through the night hearing crashes, footsteps, grunts and mimicking speech, and saw eye shine high off the ground. In the morning the pair found a snapped tree, strong odor, widely spaced ground marks and a five-toed partial print, which the witness attributed to a large visitor.

Four men have a sighting after vocalizations cause them to leave their campsite near Lake Vesuvius

Four companions camping overnight found a large fresh footprint in mud during the afternoon. Late at night they heard prolonged bark-like screams from two directions, then encountered a tall hairy figure at close range with a flashlight. The figure left up a steep bank, and the group retreated to their car while vocalizations followed them and displaced tires blocked the road.

Family has encounters with a large, hair covered creature just on the edge of Wayne National Forest

Late one spring night in 1979, the witness and a sibling were in bed in a downstairs bedroom when they saw a tall hairy figure looking in the window and then at the back door apparently trying to get inside. Their mother also saw the figure at the back door and called out for help before contacting the sheriff. Deputies searched the surrounding woods but reportedly found only a burned area of ground from apparent vomit and a small knocked-down tree.
