Possible vocalizations heard by new residents in an unpopulated rural area near the Broad River

The witness and a companion were at home late at night when they heard loud, deep, rhythmic calling from the woods behind the house. They described at least three separate voices calling back and forth and moving closer over about two hours, while dogs cowered and cats hid and other night sounds stopped. They could not identify the sounds as known animals and later felt they resembled whoop recordings attributed to Bigfoot.

Trout fishermen encounter unnerving sounds & rock throwing in Joccasee Gorge

Three college roommates hiked to the Thompson River to fish and camp overnight.

At daylight they hiked out, noticing concentrated scat and disturbed ground near oak trees, and concluded the activity was not from a person.

Sasquatch sighting in South Carolina (1978)

The caller says at fourteen while deer hunting he waited alone on a riverbank in fog. Something came out of the river about fifty feet away, walked upright and dark like a bear but with rounded primate ears. It moved branches with a hand, sniffed his incoming trail, then angled off. He was terrified and did not tell his father for years.
