Latenight encounter while camping, then morning vocalizations heard

Two boys camping on a wooded ridge left their tent in the early morning and noticed a large bipedal shape moving in nearby trees.

Around dawn they heard a strange howling from down the ridge that did not sound like a dog or coyote.

Possible sighting at night by bowhunters near Crooked Creek outside Dubois

Witnesses hear odd, loud vocalization while in the forest traveling on a logging road

Three young people were walking along a logging road after being dropped off from a truck. From about 10 yards downhill they heard vegetation rustling followed by an extremely loud, guttural, high-pitched yell that did not match any known local animal to them. Frightened, they ran about a mile back to the truck without looking back.
