He waited until it passed, then left with a light on and an arrow nocked.

Vocalization in Minnesota (2012)

The guide was sleeping alone in a hammock set apart from his crew when he awoke to sobbing sounds and heavy bipedal footsteps moving through camp. A large presence stopped beside his hammock breathing heavily, and when he threw off his tarp his hand struck a tall muscular very hairy chest before the creature fled crashing through thick brush. No tracks were found on hard ground but the path through the brambles was clearly visible.

Vocalization near Pecos, New Mexico (2012)

Four young people camped by a river in the mountains. During the day they found a very fresh opened deer carcass, returned to find their camp meticulously rummaged including an animal-proof cooler, and found a nearby large tent camp abandoned and dusty. Around 3 a.m. a huge heavy presence breathed deeply, smelled of wet animal and strong body odor, moved around the tents while the forest went silent, terrifying them until sunrise when they packed and left without speaking.

Vocalization (2012)

The witness and friends scouted a new graveyard with a digital recorder that captured a voice saying never return and last chance. They returned around 2-3 AM, one friend woke saying keep driving, and the driver later gripped the wheel, told the witness to turn off lights, and appeared stroke-like. After lights were turned on the driver had no memory of the night, and the group stopped ghost hunting.

Deer hunter sees and hears a large hairy biped from his tree stand near Shellman

The witness was alone hunting deer from an elevated stand before sunrise when a strong musty odor grew stronger.
