Lone camper in his hammock has an eventful night near Sullivan

The witness backpacked solo to a remote campsite and spent the night in a hammock. Throughout the night he heard knocks, screams, howls, voices, footsteps, rocks and twigs landing nearby, and felt his tarp, hammock lines and gear being touched. He also noted a bent-tree structure near camp the prior evening and disturbed logs and tree piles in the morning, but reported seeing no creature.

Two Boys witness a tree pushed into a river by a human-like being while fishing near Grassy

Two boys were gigging for fish in a shallow river at night when they heard splashing from objects thrown into the water. They shone flashlights across the river and saw an upright human-like creature bring down a dead tree into the river and move in the water. The boys fled to their cabin, and a tree not present the day before was seen in the river the next morning.

While camping with family and friends, the witness's young son ran from a dirt road saying he saw a tall hair-covered man.

The next day they found a bulldozed trail with broken limbs and saplings where the sounds had come from.
