Wood knocks? or Tongue Pops?

What is that noise?

 

 

 

Incident:    I hear a horse walking down a cobblestone street in the USA

 

Result:    It's more likely a horse but it could be a zebra 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Incident:  I hear horse hooves in Africa

 

Result:  It's more likely to be a zebra and unlikely to be a horse.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Incident:   I see impression in the mud.

 

Result:   It's an antelope/ deer (and it's unlikely to be a Bigfoot)

 

 

 

 

Now the issue of noise in the woods.

 

We hear noise in the woods.  Whatever it is, it is certainly more likely to be non-bigfoot (and explainable) than Bigfoot making various noises.    I'm not saying Bigfoot wouldn't make noises as it would make sense at some point it might need to (warning, mating, and so on).   It is just this:   the more likely thing becomes the more likely thing.

I wouldn’t pretend the “woods” in Iowa are any kind of woods we both mean when we say woods

What's the point you are making here? I have been in the 'woods' in Iowa and have a plethora of activity there.

Here is the point I am making:

 

"We hear noise in the woods.  Whatever it is, it is certainly more likely to be non-bigfoot (and explainable) than Bigfoot making various noises."  

 

 

I think it's pretty clear.  I expect most of these noises to have a non-bigfoot cause.    This must be the case or there would be more and more PGF level films out there instead of 1 in over 50 years.   

 

Is that really an unreasonable position?   If it is, just let me know.   I'm pretty open-minded.

If you look at all the noises of the forest, certainly the vast majority are not Sasquatch. I just felt that your post was dismissive of the idea that Sasquatch make knocking sounds and other wild noises. I've heard it, and I am not a rube who can't tell the difference between normal and abnormal, and I don't think every stick in the forest was placed there by a Sasquatch. Iowa has its share of weird, especially in the driftless area.

There is nothing unreasonable about that but I'm still confused.

 

Iowa forests have nothing to do with whatever point you are trying to make. Why even mention it?

Is it so you can insult anybody that has had experiences there? I was hit by a thrown rock in an Iowa forest.

I can reasonably deduce that no hoaxing human was in this spot at the time, and I know of 3 Class A "Bigfoot" encounters at the same location. This is anecdotal of course.

 

Alas, I didn't see bigfoot throw anything so I guess I should conclude that it was likely to something more explainable. Maybe one of those rock throwing Iowa deer that are so common.

This thread is apparently not about experiences. It's about noises... Luckily my audio recorder picks up noises (censored for language). https://soundcloud.com/redbone2/rock-hits-me-091917-1110pm

^^^^^

 

1)   My point was about probability of things we hear being bigfoot being a more likelihood of being something other than Bigfoot.

 

2) I wanted to make it clear I am not a person who spends a lot of time in the Forrest.  Since we didn't define Forrest, my assumption with Bigfoot is we are talking about the kind of Forrest like the PNW and so on.   Thus, I said I was from Iowa and where I am we don't have that.   So, mentioning Iowa is not my first point but a response to your response on my first point.  It is me pointing out I don't consider myself and expert on Forrest things.  I'll defer to people who are familiar.  I have to think you would agree that is sound logic.   

 

3)  If you think these things that you-and others- hear could be bigfoot I can only hope you are right.  I am not betting on it.   But if it is it must be more common than I might assume.   In this way I should expect more videos and photos.  People can grade encounters as A B C or 1 2 3.    Thats a good idea.  But in the end, we either need a good video, trail cam pic or video or a body.   

 

I hope whatever a person is hearing or seeing helps lead to a modern PGF - encounter.
