Campers hear possible vocalization and have trailer shaken at Interstate State Park

A group camped and hiked a short trail at night to elicit responses. After a child's whoops received an immediate whoop reply nearby, two adults who stayed behind briefly heard something approach closely then step away, seeing nothing with lights. Back in camp the group saw intermittent orange eyeshine below the ridgeline, and later heard movement around camp overnight including a camper shaking.

Tree top snaps off while man casts suspected sasquatch track near by

The witness found a large human-like footprint on a muddy curve and returned with a camera and casting supplies to document it. While making the cast, nearby bushes rustled violently and the top of a small tree snapped off and fell near the road, followed by several whinny-like vocalizations from the woods. Days later the witness believed an outline of a figure appeared in one photo and reported being followed on later visits to check for more prints.

Memory told of possible activity while trapping in Horicon Marsh

Around 1975, the witness and a companion were returning to their vehicle after checking a trap line near Horicon Marsh. From about 80 yards away on a hilltop they heard heavy movement and smelled an overpowering rotten-egg sulphur odor. They felt a fight-or-flight response, left quickly, and stayed away from the trap line for some time.
