Family records possible vocalizations in daylight near Mt. Zion Cemetery

A group visiting a remote cemetery heard an extremely loud, unearthly yell-like sound coming from about 1000 yards away past a fallen tree across Sugar Creek. The witnesses said it was not a known farm animal and captured it on a camcorder, though quieter on playback. They also noticed a dank, musty odor on the breeze apparently coming from the direction of the sound.

Various sounds heard during the BFRO's Jemez Mts. expedition

The witness and a child sat in a parked pickup with windows down near a night listening location.

Sasquatch sighting

Over about four years residents moved discarded tires together, chained and painted them, and hung them, provoking tire-throwing, growling, and nighttime visits. Videos via direct camera and mirror captured a fence jump, two large figures wrestling over tires, and a much taller figure dispersing them. The teller visited later, measured the fence, and noted fresh sign.
