Colorado Recordings

The evening of Tuesday, the 22nd of July 2008 I was in Colorado where I was invited to join a fellow researcher as part of my 48 in '08 project.



It was almost dark when I arrived at the site on Tuesday evening. I was concerned about driving down the rutted dirt road with my Toyota, not knowing for sure if I was at the correct location. So I drove back down the road and slept in my car at a small gravel pit. These sounds were picked up at 0330 a.m. I am not quite sure if they are coyote or not.

Sound Clip 1

This sound clip was just before daybreak on Sunday morning. There were a lot of sheep on the hillside near our camp.



At 5 sec. there is a loud vocalization I believe designed to stir up the dogs and the flock. I can't really describe the sound, not a howl, just strange. Then at 50 sec and 53 sec two words were spoken.

So. Illinois Sound

The evening of the 12th of July 2008 I was in Southern Illinois where I was invited to join a fellow researcher as part of my 48 in '08 project.

After leaving the trail I recorded this most unusual sound.

Southern Illinois Sound

If any listener has an idea of what this could be please contact me. It is my opinion that perhaps it is a sound in the environment being mimicked.

Indiana - 48 in '08

Indiana was my tenth stop squatchin' in all 48 contiguous states in 2008. I was invited to go squatchin' with Mike Bardsley. Mike, aka GuyInIndiana has a website called Indiana Bigfoot Awareness Group - An S.R.I. Associate. Mike concentrates on his local area and home state of Indiana and has received many reports through his website.



On the 13th of July, 2008 I accompanied Mike along the backroads of Kosciusko County in North Central Indiana. This area has very diverse terrain, including dark forests and lakes. We saw many locations where folks had had sightings. Mike has done an excellent job of getting the word out locally by using his pickup truck as advertising.



Thanks for allowing me to tag along Mike!

Illinois - 48 in '08

Illinois was my tenth stop squatchin' in all 48 contiguous states in 2008. I was invited to go squatchin' with Jon Buford. Jon is a local researcher in Southern Illinois. We were joined by escAPEe, who is with Squatchdetective.com and has his own blog escAPEe's hideaway.



Jon showed us areas near his home where he has found footprints and possible stick structures. I was at Jon's previously and saw several sets of footprints.

Jon's wife had the original sighting two years ago and since that time Jon has had several sightings of his own, as well as one of Jon's friends (who I have also spoken with) and the next door neighbor.

We hiked in the woods and was amazed at the wide variety of trees and plants. This area has a large population of coyotes and Jon has seen a black panther.

When we returned from our hike to Jon's house we heard a very unusual sound coming from the trail just behind us.
