Strange encounters and possible tracks found in a swamp near the Douglas State Forest

The witness was clearing a trail by a swamp when they heard two splashes from across the water without seeing the source. While on the phone, they saw a football-sized rock fly through the air about three-quarters of the way across the swamp and land in the water. No creature was seen, only the rock in flight and the splashes.

Daylight sighting and video attempt by Mother and son near Charlton

The witness reported seeing a tall, wide, black furry figure leaning against a tree near a dirt road while riding an ATV, then speeding home. The witness returned to the site with a relative in a vehicle, recorded video, and both watched the figure leave toward pines. An investigator later visited, marked the reported head height at over eight feet, and found no tracks in fresh snow.

Hikers observe and cast possible fresh footprints in Leominister State Forest

A couple hiking in the woods heard a close grunt and brief heavy movement, then continued on. About an hour later on the return leg they found six fresh, very deep human-like barefoot prints with deer tracks in hard mud where they had seen nothing earlier. They took cell phone photos, grew uneasy and disoriented, and left by a different path without seeing any animal or person.
