Guest watch1 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 I am going to listen to that one a little closer when I get time. It sure sounds like "cracker" in there..LOL Good recordings. Keep up the good work. Mike (watch1)
Guest Dudlow Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Very cool recordings, 'Sasfooty'. They remind me of similar recordings I heard a few years ago from upper New York State. - Dudlow
Guest Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Feel free to link us your evidence, in the spirit of fairness of course. My evidence is not really ready for the public yet but once the blood test results are verified beyond any doubt this will be the evidence that's needed.
Guest Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 My evidence is not really ready for the public yet but once the blood test results are verified beyond any doubt this will be the evidence that's needed. Thank you for your response. May I ask what Lab you're using ? I'm assuming this is an independent endeavor and not part of the Ketchum Study.
Guest Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 It's very interesting to hear about the giggling, I've heard it in my research area a few times recently and thought I was going completely nuts and have never mentioned it to anybody. Sometimes it kind of sounded muffled, like they were trying not to laugh and had their hands over their mouths? As for the Yowie voice, I've heard many different sounds, some very human and some more animal sounding especially the growls and grunts. The human sounds are more reactionary, not speech, like the sounds we'd make if we were disappointed, annoyed, frustrated etc. Cheers, Kraig
Sasfooty Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Thanks for backing me up, Mike. I remember you posting about your famous "huntin' us" recording on the old BFF. I hadn't heard any talking at that time, but when I did, I remembered your post, & realized what I was hearing. Maybe if we keep on telling about our unusual occurrences, other people will eventually get encouraged to start talking about theirs. I get a lot of those PMs, too, & enjoy knowing that they're out there even if they don't want to go public yet. Thank you, Art. I know that some of them have a pack of coyotes that they run with, and we hardly ever hear coyotes unless one of the BFs howl first & get them started. I saw one walking across the pasture one night with 5 or 6 coyotes trotting along beside him. All the recordings that I keep that have coyotes howling, have whoops or some other BF vocals in them too.

I posted some sounds I have heard (above and in a sightings section) have you heard these sounds? Here is some of my post re sounds - "....The general call is a sort of hoo hoo hoo hoo but it always starts softly half way through the first hoo (as if from almost no sound), gradually gets louder, tapers off but then cuts off before really soft again half way through the last hoo. Some have a low voice and some higher. Sometimes these are one on top of the other as a chorus is sort of formed and can be quite pretty. There is call response across the bush. I have joined in during these. I know the sounds of night animals around various bush areas in Australia and this sound is not a bird or other animal I know, and due to the fact there are other observable traits of a yowie being about a the time, I attribute this to the yowies. This is only one sort of sound. I wrote in the sightings section of a roar/growl aimed toward me and right near me..." The "hoo" I describe is not an owl, I have had a lot of experience re owl sounds. I say "hoo " using the "h" to provide a sort of movement into the "ooo" but the sound is always eased in there is no heavy constanant to propell the vowel sound Beside these I have also heard the grunts (not koala or any other normal animal grunt in the bush) and a sort of bark grunt sound.

GuyInIndiana Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 All the recordings that I keep that have coyotes howling, have whoops or some other BF vocals in them too. It's interesting up here, that generally on night's with activity, there usually IS a mixture of all the other typical night sounds. On nights when all nature seems to be quiet, the BF seem to stay quiet too. I'd have to find the recording to recall all the details, but one funny incident happened once when we had gotten some vocalizations that calmed down, then the coyotes started up, but then in the middle of the baying and yipping, one BF seemed to jump in and "shout them down" with a scream. The yotes shut up instantly like someone had just told them to shut up. Kind'a made ya' chuckle when it happened.
Guest Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Regarding the giggling--I never heard such sounds, or any sounds except whistles (I think it's the bf, anyway....) and the single word, but I do get the impression they have a sense of humor. I wonder if instead of trying to find squatches with calls or with wood-knocking, we should try gags for their amusement. For example, we leave on a picnic table a can of "peanut brittle" that has a homing device hidden in it. We wait until a bf discovers it, opens it, out pop the springy "snakes" (BOING!) , sas jumps a mile, then laughs at himself. Next, he takes the can back to the cave to prank the wife and kids...... we track and find the clan. I think it could work. Edited December 31, 2011 by Kings Canyon

Guest watch1 Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Here is one for you. The Voice of a Bigfoot Scott Nelson has said this is not a human talking. This recording is copyrighted by the owner. Mike (watch1)
Guest Jodie Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Mike, to my ears it sounds like the way someone sounds when they are talking too fast through a speaker at a drive through. It also matches General's description of the chatter made by the young ones before he shot one, his words, "It sounded the way deaf people talk". Either there are sounds there that are too low for our ears or your microphone didn't pick up the low tones. I could be wrong, just my general impression, which hasn't changed from the first time I heard it a couple of years ago. It's very impressive.
Guest mosas Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 @mosas.........I've heard that Sasquatch can do a perfect dogbark, but it sure does make sound recording a very difficult hobby. (don't get me started on coyote, and then I guess wolf calls too) I agree! It definitely does make it difficult...they are just such accomplished mimics of other animals. I really need to find some good sound analysis software like I've seen applied to evaluate purported bigfoot audio recordings. It would especially help with the mimicries. As I recall, such software is capable of identifying and converting to a graphic display the various different sound characteristics, including but not limited to such things as pitch and amplitude. It's very useful for identifying and isolating common animal vocals from those possibly produced by a Sasquatch due to the audible differences between the recorded vocalizations. The science of measurable acoustic differences between animal vocalizations may help to address Kerry's earlier inquiry concerning possible misidentification of bigfoot vocalizations. In addition to other attendant corroborating evidence (like a visual id, an odor, or footprints) that help confirm a bigfoot vocalization, there's also the sonic fingerprint so to speak of the vocalization itself. With the right sound analysis software, that sonic fingerprint can be identified and distinguished from the sonic fingerprint of other known animal vocalizations. Also, when a witness hears a Sasquatch vocalization and states that they're sure it wasn't an otherwise common animal nor a human, they are simply stating in the most general of terms that they are aware that the sound they heard contains notable sonic difference from the typical catalogue of common animal or human sounds with which their brain is familiar... or even more definitive ... that it is not possible for any human or common animal physiology to produce the sound that was heard. The later is more often the case due the extraordinary amplitude of most Sasquatch vocalizations.
Guest vilnoori Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) While I have no proof that what I heard was a juvenile, I suspect that's what it was because of associated footprints and stone/pebble piles (7 high) in the area at the same time (and tree breaks, etc.). It sounded like tuneless humming and was coming from down by the creek. It was human sounding and not human sounding, it was too resonant to be human, but did sound like a preschool kid humming while he plays, without words. Except for the exceptional resonance, rather like a huge giant preschool kid humming while he plays, or singing in a culvert (there weren't any in the area). Oh, also I have heard chimp-like whooping in other areas, notably on wooded slopes near Kawkawa Lake in Hope, BC. There are some sighting reports from not far away. Edited January 1, 2012 by vilnoori

Hi Encounter, Welcome to the new BFF, I remember you on the old one and also your Yowie encounter. I enjoyed reading it again, thanks for sharing it. The first Yowie sound I heard was way back in the late 90’s early 2000’s? near Taree. I was investigating a property where the family had ongoing Yowie activity. I was in the bush up behind their house on a narrow trail and as I passed a dense wall of lantana, I was grunted at. I know Koala grunts and it certainly wasn’t it, not as raspy and rhythmic, it was more guttural. I also heard a sound that was almost identical to one that’s attributed to Sasquatch on the Sierra Sounds CD, it’s hard to describe. That was just west of Wollongong, on MT Kembla. The rest of the sounds I’ve heard have been down here in Vic. I have heard a “Hoo... Hoo... Hoo†sound, but it’s kind of continuous and can go on for minutes. The owners of the property and myself call it “The breathing sound†We have a theory that seems to fit, although obviously we don’t know for sure, but we think it happens when they’re watching us. We think that they may “zone out†and aren’t aware that they’re doing it? As I said, just a theory. Again, welcome back! Cheers, Kraig
