Campers experience powerful screams at remote campsite

Two adults sitting by a campfire late at night heard loud high-pitched screaming whoops that seemed to surround them and grow closer. They retreated to their truck, honked the horn, and listened for several minutes as the sounds moved farther away before tearing down camp and driving out. Afterward they compared the sound to coyote calls without a match and said it exactly matched a 1978 whooping screams recording.

Bowhunter finds twisted trees, tracks, scat, & unusual sounds

The witness was bow-hunting in coastal second-growth forest on the morning of 9/1/01. He heard whooping and scream-like vocalizations followed by a large tree falling, plus heavy footsteps, and later found large ground impressions, broken limbs and tops, and animal hair high on a tree. An investigator later reviewed photos of broken and twisted trees and received frozen scat and hair samples for examination.

Military man on training exercises witnesses three, black, bipedal animals

The witness was part of a demolitions training convoy descending to a staging area when three hair-covered bipedal creatures were seen watching from the middle of a quarry. The middle individual was tallest and stood still while the two smaller flankers rocked side to side. The daytime sighting lasted about 25-30 seconds, shortly after a whoop-like sound was heard from beyond the work area.
