Camas Prairie, Idaho

Recently I spent the night with a lifelong friend in Northern Idaho. John Webb had known about my interest in sasquatch research and invited to his home where we could do some sound blasting and reminisce about “old times”. 
I was born and raised in Northern Idaho. Idaho is a state of mountains, lakes and streams.  But in the [...]

Colorado Howl - Pt. 3

On Thursday, the 13th of August 1009, I drove to Colorado to attend a group outing.
My friends had obtained some interesting recordings in mid July 2009 (see
Colorado Howl - Pt. 1) and had encouraged me to check out the area. I then spent the
night of the 4th of August, 2009 (see Colorado Howl - Pt. [...]

Rainbow Trout & Sound Blasting

Recently I spent a week squatchin’ with my wife in Colorado. Nothing squatch related was noted but we did enjoy the trout fishing and beautiful scenery. Ok, so actually it was my wife who caught the two trout.  I did pan fry the 10 inch Rainbow Trout and it was the first time my wife [...]

The Hay Bale

Although this is not new I realized that I had not posted it as part of this blog.
On the 24th of Mar 2005 my research partner called me and asked me to check out an old hay bale that was laying along a fence close to our research area.

My wife was with me and we [...]

Small Footprints in Remote Areas

My wife and I took our vacation this past summer with a trip “out west”. Having been raised on the Camas Prairie in Northern Idaho, every two or three years we make the pilgrimage to this area. We enjoy visiting the beautiful rolling hills and traveling down narrow gravel lanes. As has happened [...]

Gift from Santa

I have always subscribed to the idea that many of our Western European folk beliefs are rooted in ancient encounters with hairy wildmen. It is difficult to separate fact from fairy tale but trolls and ogres seem to fit into a likely category of real animals inspiring human storytelling.
Last year there was an interesting article [...]

Old Hag vs Infrasound vs Unknown

The 21st of September 2008 I spent the night in a remote campground in the Lewis and Clark National Forest in Montana. This is one of my brother’s favorite campgrounds and I had camped here with him in 2005.
I arrived at the site about an hour after dark. There was one other camper, in a [...]

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 [...]

What does it mean?

My family and I have lived along a small wooded creek in Central Illinois for almost twenty-two years. Until May of 2005 we had neither seen nor heard anything unusual.
Wildlife that we have seen along and near the creek includes: beaver, bobcat, coyotes, deer, groundhogs, fox, mink, mountain lions, opossum, rabbits and raccoons. For [...]

Sound Skeptics

On the 4th of February 2008 DB Donlon of Virginia (The Blogsquatcher) was a guest on Squatchdetective Radio.
During the show DB shared some of his sound recordings. DB also discussed what he calls Sound Skeptics. I thought it was a very good statement and you can read it below and also listen to the [...]
