Camper hears Wood Knocks, Whoops and has a possible sighting on the St. Joe River
On August 8, 2020 at about 9:30 p.m., the witness was camping alone near the Saint Joe River when he heard three loud, drawn-out whoops from the hillside above and to the east over his music. He turned off his speaker and heard no further vocalizations, and the area became very quiet. He made a whooping sound back, received no answer, and it remained quiet the rest of the night. No other campers were nearby.
Husband and wife hear vocals while making camp at dark, near Priest Lake
A couple and their dog set up camp for the night in a closed campground area after kayaking. After dark they heard loud whoo-like calls from the woods to the north, with a second much louder call from close range and a fainter answering call from a distance. They judged the calls too loud to be an owl and were frightened, retrieving a pistol, but heard no vehicles, lights, footsteps, or odor. Nothing further was heard overnight and nothing appeared disturbed in the morning.
Hunter finds broken turtle shells and hears possible vocalizations near Coolin
The witness was hunting near a marsh trail when he found two broken turtle shells sitting on logs. After sitting to wait for deer he heard whoop-like calls from five directions for about 15 minutes, some seeming to come from trees, until he stood and the area went silent. While walking out he heard a loud bat-like crack and whooshing through nearby brush but saw nothing.
