Possible vocalizations outside of Elberfeld, Indiana

A group of four on dirt bikes and quads stopped at night to fix a broken chain. They heard repeated loud moans, then a series of knocks like on a tree, then something running fast through dense woods around them. Frightened, they abandoned one bike and fled, finding the bike moved off the trail when they returned the next day.

Hunter has frightening encounter near Attica

The witness was deer hunting from a familiar tree stand and had been there about two hours when loud deep breathing, snorts and bellows were directed at them from nearby. The witness caught only a brief glimpse of a tall upright shadow moving swiftly but could not get a clear view through the scope and did not fire. The source of the sounds then left very loudly, and the witness was too frightened to immediately check for tracks.

Three teens in tree platform attract something using coyote call

The witness and two companions sat on a raised platform in the woods at night while a coyote call imitating a wounded rabbit was blown for about half an hour. They then heard something circling the platform in dense underbrush with loud footsteps and deep grunting while the surrounding woods went silent. They could not see the source at the edge of the flashlight beam and eventually climbed down and ran to a nearby house.
