Night Sounds, Pt 7 – Cattle

Some researchers may think it strange that I would include cattle sounds as being mistaken for sasquatch.  Several times I have had witnesses contact me about recordings they have obtained that they wanted my opinion of the sounds. When I listened my answer was that it was a bull bellowing. Neither witness was familiar with cattle and were not aware of how deep and loud a bull’s bellows can be. These bellows can be very deep, repetitive and carry a great distance.   Neither witness was happy with my answer and wanted to argue, although both areas had cattle grazing in fields close by.

This bull is about a half mile north of where I live, I need to get the microphone closer for a decent recording.

    I was spending a week in Abbott Maine in the summer of 07 and was walking a trail by a stream and bog and I heard a bellow that was so low sounding but it froze me in my tracks and i got extremely scared and ran back to the cabin.Was hard to explain the feeling but it could have been infrasound. Do moose have that ability? Thats what i shook it off as because at the time i was following moose tracks. Didnt see what made the sound, it was like a long low grumble.
