Yes, I know that the movie is about the search for it, but...
[SPOILERS!]
Whatever it is is never shown. The wood knocking and rock throwing can be explained by the presence of the naked woman. And the vocalizations and animal roars sounded distinctly not apelike. I don't know where Bobcat wanted the audience to land, but I'm far more likely to suspect a crazy woman and her feral dogs rather than Bigfoot was to blame.
If you've ever seen "Finding Bigfoot" or any other shows where they are looking for sasquatch, those are exactly the vocalizations they supposedly hear, and the rock-throwing and wood knocking are also signs of bigfoot. Add to that the fact that the setting for the film is the location of the best-known bigfoot sighting and the fact that the protagonists are hunting for bigfoot, then I'd say it's safe to assume that it's supposed to be a sasquatch that is responsible for what happens to them. Just my take on it, though. The couple themselves keep speculating that it could be people just messing with them. So it's open to interpretation.
O & by the bye sas qua watch is a rough term 4 the concept across several populated & sparsely populated areas areas
wha' the beins wha' came out of Africa "homo saps" if you will
ran in to some thing wha' wuz aready where they wanted 2 spread
call'em what u will
so the story goes sum da' "Homo Saps" mixed as it were maybe volunteer or as here maybe not so so so willin'
andy whoo sum them mixed look lot like "homo Sap" & r allowed 2 further mix but carry the genetic code so sum them what appear 2 b "homo sap" when they mix the baby looks wrong or is otherwise more them than us & must seek out they own kind
