Hunters hear nighttime vocalization on Belltown Hill, near the north shore of the Clarion River in the Allegheny National Forest
The witness and two relatives were playing poker inside a hunting cabin at night when a loud bang struck the side door followed by an unfamiliar loud scream-howl from outside. They armed themselves and opened the door with flashlights but saw nothing, only hearing something walk away into the woods and smelling a wet-dog-like odor. They chose not to follow it.
Audio recording of possible screams, growls, and fight with a dog from the Late 70's near Prosperity
On a fall evening just before dusk, the witness, then a child, and the father were at their farm when the father heard a loud disturbance in a wooded valley below a field. The father took a tape recorder and walked toward the sounds of a loud growling/roaring creature apparently fighting a neighbor's dog while the child waited uphill by a feed trough. The creature was never seen because it was too dark in the woods, and the father returned uphill. The neighbor's dog was never seen again.
Shriek heard in PA woods in early 70's

Several possible incidents over the years in the Allegheny National Forest
In March 2014 while staying at a cabin with four companions, the witness went alone to a nearby meadow after dark to look at stars. The witness heard bipedal footsteps approaching up the slope, called out twice with no reply, and the steps paused then stopped at the lane edge. As the witness walked back past that spot, brush shuffled as if something turned to watch, but all companions were still inside and had heard nothing.
Hunter has unusual experience while spring turkey hunting
The witness was scouting for turkeys in spring on the southern side of Jacks Mountain when turkey-like clucking from dense brush drew him closer. Each time he approached, a very low guttural growl came from the brush where nothing could be seen, stopping when he backed away while the clucking resumed. After two or three such approaches he left the area.
Loud scream heard by three witnesses.
Three bow hunters met in a field after dark while walking out. From a small woodlot about 70 yards away they twice heard a loud scream turning into a guttural growl with heavy breathing. One hunter briefly ran then returned, and the group left quickly after shining a weak light toward the sound without seeing anything.
Two brothers investigate strange whistling, hear growling
Over several summers the household repeatedly heard a loud high rising whistle in the early morning from the same wooded spot near home. In the third summer the witness and a relative walked toward the sound with baseball bats and got within about 25 yards. While the whistle continued they heard a wet growling sound at the same time and fled. The whistling was heard only once the next year and then stopped.
Roar heard and deer carcasses found
In 84 the witness and a companion were night fishing at a lake when they heard dogs barking in sequence around the southwest edge of the gameland. They then heard a loud roar that echoed across the small valley, followed by complete quiet. Both stated they were familiar with Pennsylvania wildlife but had never heard such a noise.
Two men driving home in the early morning hours, spot a hair covered man running along the road.
Two companions driving home along a lonely forested dirt road on a cold November night reported seeing a hair-covered human-like figure jogging ahead on the roadside. They slowed and pulled alongside to offer help, observing its flat face, small nose and mouth, and unusually long arms as it kept jogging silently and looked into the vehicle. Frightened, they accelerated away and saw in the rearview mirror that it continued loping along the road, so the driver stayed overnight rather than drive back alone.
Woman recalls sightings and sounds she and her brother encountered
A relative of the reporter reportedly encountered a figure called Chewbacca standing in nearby woods and watching while playing alone. The incident occurred near the family home in the late 1970s in late afternoon to early evening.
