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.

Possible howls heard in the Three Top Mountain area

The witness was staying alone for a week at a secluded rental house on a fishing trip. On two evenings he heard long, deep howls coming from the northwest, each lasting about 30 seconds and repeating every 15-20 minutes for about two hours on the first night and more distantly on the second. The howls prompted barking from local dogs. He said they sounded very similar to the 1994 Ohio Moaning Howl recording.

Possible vocalization in the Blue Ridge Mountains

The witness and a companion were camping and sitting around a campfire at midnight when they heard a single loud, low-pitched prolonged howl estimated at about ten seconds that seemed to come from several ridges away and grew stronger at the end. They considered non-Sasquatch explanations such as sirens, fireworks, and human vocalization but felt none fit. Their dog became attentive and briefly moved toward the sound then returned, and no further signs were noted that night.

Possible vocalizations heard periodically over the years outside Lexington

The witness reports hearing a very loud, chilling howl and scream repeatedly over many years while living on forested family land.
