Large hairy biped seen twice, late at night while entering subdivision near Montgomery

The witness described driving into the back entrance of his subdivision late at night on two occasions within the last month.

Camper hears possible wood knock and distant reply in the Sam Houston National Forest

The witness was hammock camping with a companion in the forest before dawn. He heard a sharp close clack followed seconds later by a distant double-knock that he interpreted as a call and response. He heard no footsteps or other sounds, and his companion did not hear the knocks. Given the still conditions he said he could think of no other cause for the sounds.

Print found in Sam Houston National Forest along Lone Star Hiking Trail

The witness and his father were hiking a loop trail back toward their car when the witness noticed a single barefoot-like impression in soft ash. The print showed toe outlines and an arch, felt as soft as the surrounding ash, and was larger than the witness's own foot. The surrounding ground was harder and held no other prints, and the witness jumping nearby left no impression. The witness concluded no person would be walking barefoot there and considered the print non-human.

Possible vocalization heard near Woodlands Parkway

The witness was walking dogs late at night near dense forest around a subdivision when they heard an unidentified whooping call from a distance. They described the source as a larger animal and said the whooping matched a 1974 recording and a vocalization heard on a website. The dogs reportedly did not react, and the witness hoped to record the sound if heard again.

Man has night encounter at home just outside Sam Houston National Forest

After a storm knocked out power, the witness walked a powerline to check for damage and then headed back toward the house. They noticed blinking eye-like lights high off the ground, smelled a musky odor, and made out a large bulky dark shape in weak flashlight light before running to the house. A short time later the witness returned with a brighter light and companions, saw the blinking eyes again in woods beside the house, then heard movement and a throaty howl as it left.

Hunter hears strange chattering and finds tracks in Sam Houston National Forest

The witness was bow hunting and walking a fire trail near dark when he found a large human-shaped footprint and photographed it and the surrounding woods. While photographing he noticed a strong layered odor of sour sweat, decaying flesh and musk. After walking back to his truck after dark, something growled at close range for 1-2 seconds, but a flashlight search revealed nothing and he left to develop the film.
