Possible vocalizations south of Sturgeon Lake

The witness was asleep at home when a very loud screaming and howling sound woke him around 3 a.m. He went to the front door to listen as the sound quieted, describing it as similar to recorded whoop-howls and unlike coyotes he had heard before. He estimated a single caller a quarter to a half mile to the southwest, noting dogs and livestock reacted to it before it stopped.

Possible daylight sighting by motorist on a gravel road south of Sturgeon Lake

The witness was driving on a road through pine forest and saw a large black human-shaped figure standing in the road about a quarter-mile ahead. The figure appeared startled, turned, and moved quickly off the east side of the road as the witness descended into a dip. After a brief loss of sight, the figure had vanished despite open visibility into the woods, and subsequent searches found only scattered garbage and no tracks.

A man is woken by a whoop near his home and a few months later sees an upright creature run past his barn

In November 2004 the witness was talking on the phone in the kitchen at night when he saw a large bipedal animal run past the barn. The animal was illuminated by the yard light for two seconds or less at about fifty yards distance. He estimated its height by comparison to a six-foot barn door and described it as dark, furry, and stocky with no obvious neck. He searched the next day but found no tracks because the ground was frozen with no snow.
