Vocalization in South Carolina

Two friends squirrel hunting in a fenced former fox-training woods noticed total wildlife silence, then a foul odor, then a loud roar accompanied by a large pine falling in the distance. The ground shook when the tree hit and they fled to the grandfather's farmhouse. The grandfather laughed and used a local term for a wild hairy creature.

Sasquatch sighting

The guest and a companion visited a woman's farm near a wildlife management area where animals were killing dogs and chickens. In broad daylight they watched a small shaggy juvenile about three and a half feet tall peering from a cane break about 80 yards away. The small figure disappeared quickly, which the guest believed was its mother pulling it into cover.

Footsteps in Texas

A few years before the interview the guest walked a forest road at night in deep East Texas to see if an animal would follow him. After hiding by cane and waiting between pines, he fired his thermally sighted rifle at a heat signature following him. The animal screamed loudly, crashed through brush and splashed across a creek, and was tracked for two days with no blood or hair found.

Footsteps in Louisiana

On his first trip to the Louisiana area the guest sat all night in a tripod stand over a clear-cut meadow on a fence line. About midnight he heard heavy bipedal footsteps approach from behind without a light, then cross a barbed-wire fence. Loud clicking began and was answered from both sides as the animals moved away through brush.

Unidentified sound in Louisiana

Several months to a year later the guest hunted overnight from a high climbing stand in the same Louisiana bottoms, about a few hundred yards away. The woods stayed unusually silent until about 3 or 4 a.m., when he heard what sounded like rain in one spot under clear skies. He later concluded an animal above him in another tree had urinated.

The guest spent all night in a tree stand watching a corn pile with a thermal camera in northwestern Louisiana.

my grandmother was a little girl when things changed Arkansas #482fbd82-1be1-4cc5-af04-4b1af06d924e

Animal behaviour in Arkansas

The guest recalls stories his grandmother told about her childhood on a rural family farm. During one spring or summer when a strange animal was in the area, cattle stayed near the barn and hunting dogs refused to leave the porch, even when chased off. The family came to associate the disturbance with a wild creature visiting the property.

Wood knock in Oregon

Two companions camping with minimal supplies at a remote lake heard faint knocking, cracking, and chatter-like voices in the evening, followed by a whoop, with elk bugles also audible. At the time they reasoned it might be other people, but years later after hearing similar sounds described as associated with large hairy beings, one concluded it may have been such beings.

Sasquatch sighting in Oklahoma

A young child was in bed at night in a hillside house when a tall dark-haired figure appeared at a high window and stared inside motionless, frightening the child who fled. The mother later said chickens were being killed nightly around the same time, culminating in a locked pen door being ripped off and many birds killed with necks wrung. She indicated she believed the child's report due to strange activity on the property.

Whistle near Owensboro, Kentucky
