Campers hear loud deep howls near Lake Texoma

Four campers sitting around a campfire at night heard two deep howls from the south, then a higher-pitched howl from the northwest, followed about 20 minutes later by a close whoop. Through the night they also heard brush breaking, grunts around 1 a.m., and noticed a slight odor. A morning search found nothing solid, though exploration toward the first vocalizations reportedly revealed a freshly snapped elevated branch.

Evening worker hears vocalizations, smells strong odor in Big Thicket

The witness was walking down a dirt road on company property in deep woods when he heard rustling in brush about thirty yards away and smelled a strong skunk-like odor. After stopping, shouting, and resuming walking to a gate and back, he heard quiet whooping vocalizations from behind that grew louder as he moved away. He did not see the source and first considered wild hogs before later considering something unidentified.

Four friends camped in the woods observe bi-pedal creature moving similar to the way a man would move, not bear-like.

Four friends camped overnight after playing paintball. During the night two who were sleeping heard noises and saw a tall figure leaning from the treeline, followed by louder crashing movement circling the camp. They joined the other two, who had also heard noises, and waited until daylight. When they returned in the morning to collect belongings they heard a loud wavering scream and fled, later noting broken limbs in the area.
