A dog on the porch barked timidly throughout but the figure showed no reaction or aggression.

Possible track and vocalizatons at Table Rock Lake
The witness reports finding a single large human-like footprint in mud at the back of a lake cove while scouting for animal sign.

He notes the find alongside earlier strange vocalizations, while acknowledging mundane explanations remain possible.

The witness and a companion were sitting at their campsite campfire at night when they heard loud canine-like howl and whoop calls from multiple directions, approaching to within about 35 yards. The calls were described as deeper and louder than coyote or wolf, followed by fast gutteral sounds likened to a language or argument between two animals. The pair ruled out known animals and a human prank after hearing a second matching voice upstream. The vocal exchange lasted about five to seven minutes before the animals appeared to move away upstream over a bluff.
