Husband and wife hear possible vocalizations on Harstine Island

A couple arriving at their cabin heard distant, deep vocalizations lasting about five minutes. The sounds were described as long, low-pitched roar-like screams with a growly tone that dropped lower in pitch. Their dogs became clingy and whined, and were brought inside. The husband first suggested elk or coyote but concluded the depth and duration were not human or known animal.

Possible tracks in snow east of Humptulips (w/photo)

Four people driving logging roads found large footprints in about a foot of snow beside the road.

They concluded the prints were not human because of the large size, five toes, and long stride that the witness could not recreate.

21 January 2008 Granite Falls, Snohomish County, Washington Class B #23017

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.

19 January 2008 Unknown/Talladega National Forest, Clay County, Alabama Class B #22969

Camper Awakened by Loud Wood Knocks in Talladega National Forrest

The witness was camping overnight with a scout group on a very cold, windy night when extremely loud wood-on-wood knocks were heard from north of camp. The sounds came as three pairs of knocks and were heard clearly over the wind, with no other campers in that direction. Two other adults were also awakened and the group could not agree on a natural explanation. The witness did not investigate that night because of the weather and concern about frightening the children.

Witness has unusual experience in area of the Great Dismal Swamp

As they left near sunset without ever seeing the source, they heard a short loud scream described as between a whoop and a woman's scream.

Summer 2008 Selma,, Josephine County, Oregon Class B #25445

Possible knocking heard by husband and wife while camping on their gold claim in Fiddler Gulch

The witness and his wife camped at their claim in Fiddler Gulch over the weekend of June 15, 2008. On several mornings and evenings they heard the same paired cracking sound, like a branch striking a tree, with about two seconds between beats. There was little wind, and the wife suggested expanding or contracting burnt trees as a cause. An investigator later suggested the sounds could have been wood knocks, citing unusually tame deer lingering in camp at the same time.
