Not everyone thinks "oh I'm gonna record everything in life so the world can see!"

Such an easy thing to discredit someone.

Why does your calling BS carry any more weight than Cathryn's story???
She ask for help try to figure something out. Didn't handle it in the same manner others would have. So there for is all BS..
Give me break...
I've had lots stories in my life time don't have pictures of or sound bits for. Can't explain can't defend with physical evidence.
But wasn't BS

No trail cams at all in the area? What I don't get is there is always a dead body of every animal known.. hair..whatever. as trappers you know that, but until now not a single physical evidence or skull, bone or anything of a sasquatch... Maybe it could even be a demon for all we know. The spiritual is just as real as what we see physically.

Out of this whole thread the only thing I’m suspicious of is the car that came by hauling butt.
Only a couple of neighbors she mentions and no others within 5 miles. Sunlight is “piped in” but random speeding cars are normal?
I hear things I’ve never heard before quite often. Eventually I figure them out as I’m sure she will.

A Black Bear when feeling threatened will pop upper and lower jaws together several times in a row as a warning to stay away . It sounds alot like slapping two 2x4s together and in the woods the sound will travel depending on cover . Sounds to me like a momma bear is telling something to stay away from her cubs . If your not paying attention to her after her giving notice the next sound you hear is not gonna be in your favor !

What we refer to as being intellectually lazy. I have an open mind but not to the point of where my brain falls out…

Couple that with three being a universal distress call.

I'd talk to the local law enforcement They might know something, and/or, might want to check out the area. WTH, a few more feet on the ground just might help answer your curiosity. You sound pretty observant, so hopefully you can describe the car in somewhat the same detail as the sounds.

PS: Hide or remove any boiler/condenser, or growing patch in the area.

Watched a video of a couple of “researchers” tree knocking with a small hardwood bat they had for that purpose.
They hit several trees of very different diameter and species. The sound was very much the same on all of the trees. The trees were all live as far as I could tell.

I would be interested in knowing how many people sent you PM’s that had their own experiences but didn’t want to share out of fear of being ridiculed. This subject has been on here before and always goes the same way- a few share their own stories. And a bunch just make jokes and disregard it. I was always taught if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all.

I have always had an interest in not only Sasquatch but all of the cryptids. Some are a little too far fetched for me but the better documented cases have always peeked my interest. The mothman and beast of bray road, skin walker ranch all have well documented witnesses.

I am not saying I believe any of them exist but I am open minded and would need to see real evidence or witness myself to fully commit to the idea.

It’s a shame people can’t feel free to share their experiences on this forum without ridicule because this is where the people that spend the most time outdoors gather to share their experiences.

I find Bigfoot/Sasquatch stories most fascinating because either :
A- they exist and are extremely elusive or..

B- if they don’t exist what causes so many people to tell the same stories of these encounters?
And I am referring to people who have actually seen one or found tracks or had rocks throw a at them.

I don’t put any credibility in second hand stories- the I had friend that saw one or that type of thing. I am interested in people who have experienced an encounter first hand.

When I was about 19 a friend and I were driving home one night. At the time I lived in Vernon NJ. All of a sudden an animal runs across the road in front of us. It was the size of a small deer with large ears like a rabbit. Guess you could say a jack-a-lope without the horns. We both looked at each other and neither had a clue what we had just seen. We never mentioned it again. Years later when the internet came around I did a search and found what We had seen. It was just some type of exotic pet - a Mara.


Thanks Cathryn for being brave enough to post your experience.

Yes.....thank you Cathryn. I had a great response but it got deleted.

I too, share that exact sentiment.

I've never known Cathryn to be a BS'er .

I'll stick with frost cracking of trees as the sound- it appears you had some major temperature swings on March 15th with a High/52 Low/ 14 on March 16th High/67 Low /31.
The sounds happened with the sun setting between 6pm-7:23pm.

"As the sun sets, temperatures drop quickly, causing the bark to cool and contract. The wood under the bark does not cool as quickly, causing the bark to split. The rifle shot sound that frost cracks make is the sudden snapping of wood that has reached its limit of flexibility. It’s sudden because until that moment the tree has maintained its tensile strength. As soon as the forces of expansion and contraction exceed the wood’s strength, the wood fails all at once."

Probably an ivory billed woodpecker or some such bird.

Cover the planes #'s I'd love to see it if you could post a picture...if not that's OK too.
I've Had none of those experiences which you've had ; and just like Cathryn's story I believe it. I believe we live in a world of unknowns.

I still think this

How far do believe you could hear the sounds of a bear snapping it’s jaw’s. I’ve heard two different sows doing and I don’t believe I could’ve heard them more than 80 yards but I can only hear out of one ear. I don’t think that either time did the bear sound like hitting wood.
I and two other hunters saw tracks in the snow with a 5-6 stride 16” tracks. I was in two feet of snow and no snow shoes and whatever was making the tracks had no problem lifting it’s leg up and clearing the snow until the next step. There was no belly drag or foot drag marks. Of course looking at my tracks all I was doing was shuffling through it almost a continuous looking line in the snow . I was top of the ridge, and there was a hunter on both sides of the ridge. The other hunters had both seen the tracks and they were in 16” of snow. They both are long time deer trackers and both have hunted moose and all three of us have shot a dozen bears or more. We don’t have moose in this part of VT. One of the guys couldn’t believe where these tracks went up over a ledge point on the ridge and he circled around up on top and hit my tracks and followed my tracks until he saw where I had looked at the big tracks. None of us knew that the others were there and later that year in talking about our muzzleloader season and deer seen , I had asked if they had seen any unusual tracks and they both said yes. I had shot a deer that day coming down off the point of the ridge and they both heard the shot. I came in from the East and they came in from the north and south sides. I killed the deer on the west end of the ridge. The big tracks came up from the north side and continued down the south side. Tell what makes bipedal tracks that are 16” long and that can lift its leg straight up out of 2’ of snow and not a drag mark in the snow and put the next foot down 5-6 feet away. I don’t care what anyone says. I couldn’t make out the actual foot print but the general shape was human like. So stick your BS comment just because you haven’t seen it then of course it can’t be true!

Very interesting
