Camper have multiple experiences and encounters

A group camping on private land heard distant tree branches breaking a couple hours after dark. Three members went closer to investigate in the dark and one was struck in the side of the head by a small pebble, prompting them to return to camp. Branch-breaking sounds continued into the evening, and the witness heard larger stones being thrown in the forest overnight from a tent.

Tree break/vocalization report

The witness took their research team to Odel Lake for a trial outing. They reported finding freshly twisted and snapped trees about nine feet up and logs torn apart without bear-like claw marks. They also reported hearing a young Sasquatch-like being calling from no more than fifty yards away, which frightened newer team members into leaving.

Witness tells of hearing and smelling a creature near Wildwood Falls

The witness and a relative were running at night along an old logging road toward the Falls when they noticed a strong musty odor. About 50 feet ahead, they perceived only a large, fast, dark movement that crashed through dense brush toward the Falls and then fell silent. The next day they found a wide smashed path with broken small trees and grooves in the ground. The witness stated the odor was unlike bear and distinct from other animals encountered before.

Hiker sees tracks in snow

The witness was hiking on packed snow and found large barefoot prints that were longer than their own boots and sank much deeper into the snow than their own weight. Beside the trail, multiple 15- to 20-foot firs were all broken and pointing away from the trail. No creature was seen.
