More Screams In The Night

Because this recording is of such poor quality I debated a long time whether to share this sound file or not. It was recorded from the patio of my home here in Central Illinois on the 13th of March, 2010.  The sound was buried in the white noise of the recording.  I am guessing the [...]

Footprints in the Snow

When I first became involved in sasquatch research my wife’s relatives, although polite, still wondered what I was getting involved in.

Who’s that knocking at my door?

On the 15th of August, 2008 I camped in a campground in Colorado where I heard screams earlier in June of this year.

I placed the microphone next to my mirror on the drivers side and ran the cord inside the car and had the recorder on the dash. I covered the little red [...]

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.

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.

Unusual calls

On the evening of the 17 of May, 2008 I was accompanied to my main research area by fellow researcher, Bob Eldridge, from New Hampshire.
We spent the next two hours walking along the roads and tractor paths that run through the oak – hickory forest. Other than several outbreaks of vocalizations from Barred Owls [...]
