Unusual thud and possible whoop heard along with feeling of being watched in Algonquin Provincial Park

The witness was lying awake in a tent at a Rain Lake campsite with a companion already asleep when a powerful but silent ground thud was felt very close to the tent, followed by a brief skunk-like odor. Later that night the witness heard an unusually loud whoop-like sound first taken for a loon. In the morning an indistinct disturbance entering camp and a freshly snapped tree stump were found, and while hiking out the witness felt watched.

Possible vocalizations heard 10 miles SE of Arden

Late at night while winter camping, the witness stayed inside a cabin watching a movie while a companion stepped outside. Both heard a single distant wooo-like sound lasting several seconds that neither recognized as a familiar local animal. The companion thought it came from well to the south, leaving both puzzled about its source.

Vocazliation heard by moose hunter in the Godson Lake area

Two hunters resting on a brush pile during an archery moose hunt heard whooping vocalizations and chest-beating sounds likened to a zoo gorilla for about an hour. They did not see the source and did not investigate because they were focused on a nearby moose and darkness fell. A young bull moose in the area acted frightened and refused to approach.
