Group of friends have possible late night interaction in an old rock quarry near Granite Falls

Six people hiked up a forest road at night to revisit the witness's prior sighting area. After making knocks and whoop calls, they reported hearing a return knock, whoops, a guttural grumble and a moan, and seeing multiple eye-shines. Later in a quarry area they reported watching a human-like figure in night-vision goggles that crouched when noticed, followed by a rock thrown nearby, after which they left.

A loud, unknown vocalization startles solo hiker on shore of Goat Lake

The witness was sunbathing alone on a log at the brushy end of a lake in the mid-afternoon. A very loud, sustained howl rising from low to high pitch was heard at very close range, ending in a hoop-like sound, followed by silence. The witness saw nothing in the dense brush, quickly dressed, and hiked back to the vehicle while repeatedly looking back.

Possible vocalizations heard by resident outside Verlot

The witness was at home in the evening when barking dogs drew him outside onto the porch. From a distance he heard loud repeated vocalizations that began low and rose to a scream, apparently moving west past his location and then back south before fading after about five minutes. He described the sound as unlike any animal he knew from hunting experience and later felt it matched an archival scream recording except for a lower start.

Possible "Ohio" Howls heard near Granite Falls

The witness was on a ladder cleaning the gutter of his two-story house in the morning when he heard a series of low-pitched, long howls. Dogs began barking once the howling started. He said the sound was distinctly different from any canine howl or bark and was uncannily similar to an Ohio howl recording posted on the same website.
