Hikers find possible tracks and other sign on an old logging road outside North Bay

Three companions were walking a little-used logging trail north of North Bay near dusk when they found two barefoot-like half prints at the edge of a large puddle. The prints were described as human-like with five toes but about twice the width of the witness's own foot, with no other tracks around. Earlier on the same walk they had seen a small healthy tree snapped off high above the ground, and afterward they noticed bent trees that resembled a sleeping spot, though they discounted both.

The witness and companions cut through dense brambles off trail and broke into a large interwoven tunnel system running for thousands of meters. The tunnels opened into a large bowl-shaped crater whose floor was covered with thousands of old and fresh animal bones, including deer, bear and moose skulls with gnaw marks. Frightened and unable to tell which tunnel they entered by, they hacked straight out to the trail and returned to the cottage.

Wood knock in Ontario

The witness describes a fall investigation in a remote forest north of the city. A prior night vigil yielded stomps, calls, knocks and sounds of something circling camp. Follow-up reconnaissance found sharpened sticks staked across a game trail, tracks along a nearby river, and a very tall teepee structure the next day.
