1 December 2015 Nashport, Muskingum County, Ohio Class B #50393

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.

Hiking family finds possible track off trail outside Estes Park

A family of four was hiking and identifying animal tracks in a forested mountain area when the husband found a single large footprint off the trail. The print was about 13.5 to 14 inches long and about half an inch deep, with possible toe impressions, and crossed perpendicular to the trail. The husband could not leave a comparable impression in the same vicinity. The family photographed the print with a boot for scale, felt uneasy, and continued on without seeing or hearing anything that could have made it.

Campers have possible encounter while staying in High Point State Park

Two brothers camped overnight beside a lake in the park.
