Appalachian Trail Hikers find possible tracks and hear a late night howl near Franklin

Two people on a backpacking trip camped for the night and heard a long two-toned howl after midnight, followed by distant whoops over about two hours. The next day while hiking they found large deep human-like footprints crossing the trail at two gaps, with about five-foot stride, plus piled limbs in tree forks and overturned mushrooms nearby. They photographed the prints and noted a bloody stick but did not keep it.

Menacing commotion at night, tracks in snow the next morning, out Yadkinville

The witness and two companions were snow sledding at night when they heard loud noise and commotion beyond their firelight and fled to the house. The next day they returned and found very large tracks in the snow leading from and back into nearby woods, with tracks around a tree with stripped branches. They did not see the source of the sound and report no further experiences since.

Sasquatch sighting in North Carolina

A group member investigating a large private property at night left companions to check a trail by a creek with night vision. He lowered the camera and saw a large mass that peered from behind cover, then returned with lights to find a footprint on the bank and limbs twisted high to clear a view.
