Sounds heard answered by another more distant source

The witness reports hearing loud cries from west of the home over a period from early 1996 to mid-1998, always late at night. Each cry was answered by a more distant cry, and on one night the sound was close enough to wake the witness from sleep. No visual encounter is described; the witness says the sounds matched recordings presented on a television program about Bigfoot investigation.

Family find fresh, barefooted, humanlike footprints.

The witness and three companions drove to the top of a ridge where fresh snow covered the road. A companion spotted large fresh tracks with toes crossing the road and going down a steep draw. The men examined the tracks and noted their large size and long stride before leaving because a companion became upset. Months later they heard about helicopter-based searches in the area, which strengthened their belief the tracks were made by a bigfoot.
