Possible bigfoot whoops heard 60 southeast of Duluth

Three companions were fishing quietly from a dock in the early morning darkness when they heard three extremely loud, deep whoops from nearby behind them. The sound was followed by a period of complete silence, then faint distant chatter described as like children from across the lake. They could see nothing in the dark and later found they could not reproduce the volume and depth of the whoops.

Rock throwing and stalking near Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest

The witness and two relatives were camped in a remote site in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Late at night the witness heard prolonged rustling and crackling at the camper's tarp porch, initially thinking a bear had returned. About half an hour later multiple rounds of rocks struck the camper, including a larger rock on the roof, waking the other two campers. In the morning the camp was undisturbed and a rock was found in a hammock behind the camper.

Knocks returned in the afternoon while hiking at Loew Lake

The witness and a relative hiked for about two hours looking for Sasquatch sign and photographed two possible stick structures. While heading back, the witness struck a stick to make wood knocks and heard replies that matched his signals, first one knock, then three, then rapid knocking. He answered with rapid knocks, after which the sounds stopped and further knocking got no response. Both individuals heard the exchange and thought it was either another person or a Sasquatch.
