Two deer hunters experience a likely week-long encounter near Nashport

Two companions camped while hunting for five days near Dillon State Park. On successive nights they heard tree knocks from multiple directions, whistles, whoops, loud yells and screams that approached the camp, growling near the camper, and banging on vehicles in a nearby junkyard. By day they found numerous large human-like footprints in a shallow spillway and on a sandy bank, which they photographed with boots for scale. They reported no visual sighting but concluded the sounds and tracks were from a large, athletic creature.

Night fishermen recall possible encounters near Dillon State Park

Two companions were fishing from an anchored boat at dusk near a cattail-lined bank where they had previously found prints. One pointed out a tall, black, large-built figure standing above the 6- to 7-foot cattails downriver. The figure stood briefly, then stepped back and walked away into the woods through a channel, and the witnesses chose not to follow.
