Soldier reports possible vocalizations during a morning group run at Fort Leonard Wood

The witness was leading a group morning run on a wooded trail when the group found large healthy trees blocking the track. Near the back wooded section the witness heard multiple whoop-like yells from both sides at a distance and smelled a strong musky sewage-like odor along the route. The witness ran back toward the start, where the rest of the group also reported hearing the sounds and discussing them as bigfoot calls.

Possible nighttime encounter while camping near Potosi

The witness was camping in brush with family members. About 4:30am on the first night he awoke to a strong skunk-like odor and a feeling of being watched. He rolled over and made out a very broad-shouldered silhouette with a head between trees about seven yards away. He turned away without telling family and waited for daylight, and the group left early after two nights.

Recollection of a possible nighttime encounter on a four-wheeler near Sullivan

The witness and two companions snuck out on a 4-wheeler into woods behind a house on a snowy night. They noticed a dead-like odor and heard monkey-like chattering, then saw a tall hair-covered biped walk toward them while growling. The group fled on the vehicle and on foot as the animal followed to within arm's reach without touching them, apparently driving them from the area.

Two fisherman run from a large screaming creature in the woods near Highway 7

Two men walking through very dense brush heard a loud roar-like sound ending in a high-pitched shriek. They then smelled a very strong foul odor and heard unseen brush movement, followed by a second, closer howl. Both men fled through the brush and exited about half a mile from where they entered. The account was relayed to the reporter by a relative of one participant, who said the participant remained frightened of that woods afterward.
