Possible encounter makes campers leave Lake Jeanette campground near Orr
The witness and a companion camped for two nights beside a lake in pine forest.

Canoers report a rock throw and possible grunts near Grand Marais
Two people were canoeing at night when a rock landed very close to them in the water though the distant shore appeared desolate. A short time later their canoe became grounded in a shallow channel between lakes and they heard a loud strange animal-like noise for about ten minutes that stayed just beyond flashlight range while surrounding wildlife went quiet. They freed the canoe and returned to the car for the night.
Possible encounters at a favorite backwoods spot near Isabella
A witness and a relative were carrying camping gear to canoes in the afternoon when they heard an extremely loud bellow followed by muffled talking-like sounds. The witness retrieved a shotgun and moved toward a river point while the relative watched from the canoes. The witness heard heavy footsteps and brush movement heading toward the rapids but saw nothing, and found dry crossing rocks with no splashing. He concluded whatever made the sounds must have leapt rock to rock to cross.

The witness and three companions went to a regular search area at night to listen for responses. They heard prolonged vocalizations from unseen sources, at one point estimated within 75 yards and loud enough to feel chest vibration. A companion recorded the sounds on a digital camera and the group felt the sounds did not match known hunted animals.
Strange, loud animal howls heard by resident near Gnesen
The witness stepped into the yard on a Sunday night and heard frantic dog barking and wolf howling overlain by loud, prolonged wailing unlike any known animal. The wailing source held position briefly then moved rapidly northeast around the lake, causing underbrush disturbance and loud ice crushing before falling silent. The background animals also fell silent, then erupted again minutes later without the wailing resuming.

The visitors then made a loud vocal sound and left walking bent forward.
Memory told of a possible encounter while coon hunting near Houston
On a moonlit night in late October 1975, the witness was coon hunting along a ridge when both dogs became frightened and stayed by him. He heard a low moaning sound, a rock-throw-like crash into a brush pile, two tree-strike-like impacts, and something moving through leaves down a steep wooded slope. He called out but saw nothing and ended the hunt.
