This is an amplified version of a recorded but distant sound capture. Included are some gutterals, a whoop, some extreme bass sounds that recreate what it must sound like to bounce a heavy dumpster down a rocky creekbed or asphalt road, etc Permission given by former BFF member River to use for research purposes and @southernyahooassisted with retrieval of the file from the dustbin of our minds. Amped version provided through audacity as earbuds/ headphones are required to really hear some of the nuances even with that. riverscohuttafilengaamped.mp3

^^ I've known about NOBRO for several months but it's only been in the last couple of weeks that I've spent a lot more time going through their website and database. Their database naturally has a lot of reports from Oklahoma but it also has quite a few from other states around the country.

While we're discussing sounds and possible language, I heard the sound that the presumed bigfoot yelled at me in someone else's video.. In one of Reo's videos - the famous one where he's come upon the family of them on the mountaintop - one of them yells exactly the same thing that I heard. It was a warning type call in both instances. If one in Oregon says the same thing in warning, I find it interesting that the one wherever Reo is (Utah?) said something similar. Monongahela has my utmost respect.

Pet hair removal gloves are available to 'pat down' an area in search of mystery hairs. I have 2 inch wide hook and loop tape that I have wrapped around my hand to sweep the inside of a stump that was a gifting location. I was stumped, no luck in the stump. If hairs are found then the hair identification conundrum scenario starts. Side note: 'hook & loop' material evolved from a European hiker who was frustrated by his socks picking up cockleburs. 'Velcro' = velvet--crochet. An industry for temporary attachment was born and evolved into a skit on David Letterman's 'human tricks' segment.

Hi all, new member from MN. Lifelong camper, hiker, adventurer, hunter, fisherman. Have always had a passing (passive) interest/curiosity... until I started having my own personal experiences, which as I imagine for everyone, are very very unsettling - to say the least. I would appreciate any tips on overcoming fear to enjoy backcountry solo trips again. I am also interested in learning more about other local sightings after doing independent research and realizing the ever present behavioral parallels that often occur within encounter stories. Thanks!

LOL! Miculek is absolutely incredible, isn't he?

I haven't really found any 'good' examples in our recordings I love, but here's another example of what we call jibberish. It was recorded back in 2012 as well. The audio comes from a DVR surveillance system I was trying to leave running 24/7 so when our host would tell us he'd heard activity back at the camp area I would be able to get to camp and review the DVR system on my next visit, to confirm or not if his report was accurate. The DVR and cameras were running on 12vdc from a battery bank I have in the camper bathtub and were kept hot all the time with 3 solar panels I have on the roof. The crappy thing about this recording is that I wasn't there so the system was running on the 12vdc power (since no generator was running) yet somehow there's a nasty AC interference in the audio. Some (not all) of the bullet style cameras had those built-in cheap mics in their plastic housings. That is what captured the audio here. This occurred about 2am and was heard live in real time by a couple staying in camp that weekend. Unbeknownst to them, about 20 minutes before this recording from the DVR (they were camped in a tent about 30 - 40 feet to the west of the camper) a Sony recorder that had been placed in a tree 75+ feet north of the main campsite had been approached, sniffed, fawned over, then ripped out of the tree it was hanging in. It wasn't until the morning that when it was found missing, a circular search around the area found it about 20' from where it had been hanging and the audio was reviewed. Based on the audio time-stamps of both recordings, this was 20'ish minutes after, and the BF approached their tent from the south (having circled around?) and gave them this berating. The rest of the night was silent. Hopefully you can hear the jibberish well enough over the odd interference in the audio. may-30-2012-200am-5302012 DVR audio.mp3

Thank you all so much for responding. That was very informative. The reason I ask is being an ardent skeptic and mostly dismissing Sasquatch evidence. I have always been interested in sounds that can't be explained. Anyway,after much research and collaboration with fellow scientists without going into more explanation. I must admit I was wrong about the Sierra Sounds. I have reluctantly concluded and now after many years believing them to be hoaxed by humans. They are made by unidentified undocumented animals.
