While conducting sound survey project, two team members see Bigfoot
A team of four was conducting a nighttime sound survey from a clear-cut overlooking a river valley while one member did a live radio interview from a parked vehicle near the treeline. The interviewer heard repeated charging sounds, footfalls and a grunt-growl from dense brush a few feet away while two teammates uphill watched with a night-vision device. The uphill observers reported a huge 8-foot-plus figure about 25 feet away leaning side to side to look through the trees and moving its arms. The episode lasted about 30 minutes, followed later by a distant scream, and a next-day search found disturbed soil but no footprints.
BFRO Investigators detail activity around Twain Harte
Investigators found fresh broken trees, dozens of footprints and two nests where a trail crossed a road and staked out the spot. No creature was seen, but something large moving on two feet approached the stakeout before fleeing downhill through brush when a car passed. The sign was documented the next day with footprint and tree-break measurements and a body-length impression in one nest.
Two hunters experience vocalizations and encounter very large unknown animal
Two companions grouse hunting in a wooded gorge heard loud screaming-growl vocalizations from about 30 yards away in dense cover. The source moved around them with audible footsteps in snow and breaking branches, seeming to flank them and get behind them. After several minutes they left the area quickly while looking back and did not return.
Vocalizations and Footsteps heard
On the night of October 28, 2000 the witness was hosting an adult-only backyard barbecue party with about a dozen guests. Around 10 p.m. the group heard loud unidentified sounds from the woods near the back of the property and heard heavy footsteps breaking branches that sounded bipedal. Two men entered the woods with a flashlight but the source stayed distant and was never seen, and no tracks were found in deep oak leaves.
Footsteps near St Clair, Missouri (1970)
The guest's sister said that in the 1970s she repeatedly heard something bipedal walking behind her house at night. The next morning her son found long reddish-brown hair on a barbed-wire fence where the sounds had been. In later years she has also reported howl-like vocalizations and heavy breathing from the woods and once made a phone recording.
Vocalization
A few years after the property sightings, the witness camped alone off-trail on the Appalachian Trail. Around 2 a.m. something moved around the tent making odd pig-like or horse-like sounds, which was recorded. In the morning a food bag hung 15 feet up between trees was gone with the knot untied rather than broken.
Footsteps in Washington
The researcher was sitting in a truck with two companions near Mount St Helens when a bluff charge occurred. They heard pacing, a tree knock, heavy footsteps running toward and past the truck, then branches breaking as the animal walked away. No one was struck and activity stopped afterward.
Rock throwing in Missouri
A small research team camped for five days on the Missouri property to document ongoing rock-throwing activity. At night rocks repeatedly struck the tent, table, chairs and vehicle from a ridge above. The team marked piles of rocks with marker and later found marked rocks thrown into camp, along with foot tracks and a handprint.
Footsteps in New Jersey
The witness and his partner parked in a refuge at night and made vocal calls. Heavy footsteps approached the van and a dark figure was seen through reeds. After leaving and returning, whoop calls were exchanged. The partner declined to return after that.
Wood knock in Ontario
The witness describes a fall investigation in a remote forest north of the city. A prior night vigil yielded stomps, calls, knocks and sounds of something circling camp. Follow-up reconnaissance found sharpened sticks staked across a game trail, tracks along a nearby river, and a very tall teepee structure the next day.
Footsteps in Washington
Audio recorders left around camp overnight captured three loud steps described as booms. On playback the sound was described as seeming to say a team member's name between pounds. The guest notes the recorder was placed just below where he had been sleeping.
Chatter
On a day scouting trip the group followed a possible trail to a structure and left a drop-box recorder in a tree at 3 p.m. Audio review later revealed unusual chatter and activity. That night a hike produced distant screams and a large parabolic at camp recorded bipedal walking.
Vocalization
Around 2 a.m. the guest heard clicking and movement around tents and vehicles. After hours of activity, something lifted a Dutch oven lid, charged 30 feet, pushed a fist through his tent window and then pushed its face inches from his. He held a pistol, heard a voice telling him to kick his legs, did so, and the group left chirping. Urine, prints and handprints were found.
Vocalization near Isabella County
Residents of a central Michigan farm reported frequent night vocalizations over several years. Recorders captured goat-like and horse-like sounds, breathing and banging on a food barrel, and loud knocks from the woods when people moved between buildings. The witness investigated possible human sources and found one distant caller to exclude, but did not see the source.
Footsteps near Hillsdale, Michigan
The witness volunteered as bait on a southern Michigan property while others monitored with microphones. Operators reported footsteps following the witness along a road. On other nights the group broadcast whale sounds and later recorded similar sounds unprompted, and daytime slapping on a garage was reported until cameras and lights were installed.
Whoop in Georgia
As teenagers the witness and friends camped and hiked up a reputedly haunted mountain at night to look for a cabin. They were paralleled on both sides, heard whoops and powerful wood knocks and branches being ripped, then a large tree was pushed over close to them and they fled. The running camcorder captured the sounds and briefly illuminated two large almond-shaped red eyes that narrowed and turned away before the tree fell.
Footsteps
The guest was asleep in his tent with his dog when a proximity alarm woke him about 11:45. Something walked around the tent, handled items on his table, then pressed through the tent fabric behind his head and gently manipulated his head and face with a very large hand. He triggered his truck alarm lights, after which it moved off. The whole sequence lasted about nine minutes and was captured on an audio recorder.
Footsteps near Honobi, Oklahoma
The guest moved the empty tent to another nearby ridge and left a recorder by it. Playback the next day again captured something running by. He said he could think of no natural explanation for the same result on three occasions.
Footsteps near Honobi, Oklahoma
A decade later the guest returned alone and set up an empty tent about a mile past his camp with the recorder in the woods behind it. The next-day playback captured the same sound of something running by the tent. He described the tight steps as possibly a young individual.
Footsteps near Honobi, Oklahoma
The guest and a group left an empty tent with a recorder inside on a ridge in Oklahoma. After about 30 silent minutes the recording captured movement, snapping twigs and small pebbles hitting or missing the tent. Then something was heard running hard toward and right past the tent.
