Mother and son near big hunting lease tract outside Buna report loud wood knocks at dusk

The witness and her son were hunting from a deer stand at dusk when they heard prolonged pig squealing followed by silence and then saw deer behaving erratically. Minutes later they heard repeated groups of wood-on-wood knocks answered from different directions, then a deep warbling growling talking-like sound that was not English. Frightened, they left the stand without ever seeing an animal.

Possible road crossing early in the day near Jasper

While driving to work in the morning, the witness saw a dark object on the road she first thought was an ATV. As she got closer it moved off the road into the ditch, then stood up from a bent-over position, lifted a leg over a log, and disappeared into the forest. Her husband later checked the crossing spot for tracks but dense pine needles and leaf litter prevented finding any sign.

Hunter's possible encounter near Kirbyville

The witness climbed into a deer blind before dawn to hunt. Shortly after sitting down, he heard a sustained higher-pitched howl from one side and a lower sustained response from the other side, neither matching animals he knew.

Evening worker hears vocalizations, smells strong odor in Big Thicket

The witness was walking down a dirt road on company property in deep woods when he heard rustling in brush about thirty yards away and smelled a strong skunk-like odor.

He did not see the source and first considered wild hogs before later considering something unidentified.

While sitting on relative's front porch, two children have daytime sighting

Two children sitting on a relative's porch at midday watched a large hair-covered biped run out of the woods and across a field.

The pair rushed indoors to tell adults, who told them it was likely a bear.

Both occupants were awestruck and left quickly without further observation.

The witness and a companion were mushroom hunting when they found about ten barefoot-like prints crossing a muddy stretch of a mostly dry creek.

The witness felt no barefoot person should have been in that remote bottoms area and no photos were taken before rain.
