Family is frightened from the woods by unseen creature and loud knocks near Yellow Creek

A family of four was sitting by a lake when they heard crashing and crunching of something large moving in the woods about 50 yards away. This was followed by three very loud knocks from the same area where two children had just been playing and chopping trees. The group left immediately while the adult male stood watch, and later searches found only game sign and a few possible tracks.

Possible stalking at the town of Sigel in Eldred Township

The witness was sitting in his truck overnight at a wooded construction site monitoring a generator. He heard bipedal footsteps pacing in the leaves and a loud bang on a tank that he believed was a thrown rock. A tall figure stepped to the edge of the woods beside the truck, turned to face him, then walked back into the woods. He turned headlights toward the woods but saw nothing further.

Hunter has many, possible encounters over several years on private property south of St. Louis

The witness was bowhunting on the morning of October 9, 2014 in rainy and foggy conditions with very limited visibility. He heard and felt three loud impacts just out of sight, described as either rocks striking the ground or something stomping hard enough to feel in his feet. He called out, got no reply and heard nothing moving away, interpreted it as a warning and left.

Boys are chased on way home from bow hunting

The witness and a relative were bowhunting for deer in the evening and started hiking downhill toward home after feeling watched. After hearing a loud crash in brush, they ran about half a mile while hearing something running behind them. They crossed a pasture gate, stopped, and watched a large hairy bipedal figure by the gate for about 30 seconds before it turned and walked away.

Silouette seen by witness

Around 3 a.m. the witness claims a large animal walked through the group's camp from dense cover while everyone listened. The witness deliberately stayed quiet to avoid provoking it. Later the campers compared notes and one said he had seen a human-like silhouette at the time they all heard the animal.
