This past summer there was a lot of work going on at the earthen dam near my home. Workers had been cutting down small trees and mowing a large area. The morning of the 30th of July 1011 when I went outside I noticed this small tree (still with green leaves on it) had fallen [...]
I have been running two recorders at home each about 200 yards apart. I have attempting to get a idea of the direction that the sounds are coming from and hoping the outer recorder will have less of Belle’s barking. On the 16th of December, 2011 from my deck I recorded this far off ”yahoo” [...]
For some time now I have been aware that there is something in the woods behind my house that once in awhile makes strange sounds. The leaves are off the trees now and the woods in the daytime are fairly transparent. Deer are easily seen on the hill behind my house. I live on a [...]
It has been a year since I recorded some unusual sounds at what I call the Troll Bridge. This bridge is located in rural Greene County, Illinois. Painting (1915) by John Bauer - Wikimedia Commons To familiarize yourself with the incident it would be best to read the three posts from last year. Troll Under The Bridge, [...]
Two days ago ( 15th of November, 2011) I recorded an unusual sound in the woods behind my home. Please see: Just Passin’ Through, Pt. 1 Last night at 6:30 P.M. I recorded another strange sound. The picture above illustrates the sound in both waveform view and spectral view. With the wind and distance it [...]
I have mentioned before how I believe that something comes close to my home and makes unusual sounds from the nearby woods. I have always thought the purpose of this is to test or tease my Karelian Bear Dog, Belle. Last night, the 15th of November, 2011, was one of those nights. The woods behind [...]
Many Americans have read and enjoyed the ”The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” the short story by Washington Irving. And I would assume that we enjoy it because it combines horse chases, ghosts and goblins and dimly lit bridges. The passage reads: An opening in the trees now cheered him with the hopes that the church bridge was at hand. [...]
Soon after the report of the footprint find in Chatham was made public I was contacted by several other people in the Chatham / Sugar Creek area concerning unusual sounds, possible footprints or unusual occurrences going on around their homes. One of these was a short distance from Sugar Creek near the covered bridge. On Sunday, the [...]
Recently (4th of August, 2011) I journeyed to one of my favorite squatchin’ areas in Colorado. About a mile from my destination I spotted a large Black Bear near the bottom of a scree slope that was right next to the road. I grabbed my camera, but the bear beat a hasty retreat straight up the [...]
I recorded these coyotes in the North Park area of Colorado on the 8th of July 2011. The time was 0932 a.m. which seems a little unusual for coyotes to be howling. At first listen it is typical sounding and may all just be coyotes, however at 25 seconds and after the first four howls [...]
