The Sasquatch Tornado

Thought I'd share a little story of an experience a friend of mine Tom and I had a couple years ago. Tom is a fellow researcher and close friend here in Tennessee. About once a month we'll meet up for a weekend of camping at one of our research areas. A couple years ago on July 4th weekend we went camping at one of our favorite research spots. This area is totally secluded and miles from anyone or anything. First of all I'm not suggesting that anyone try this and if you do, it's at your own risk. Somehow or another we got the bright idea to get fireworks and try to draw in some attention from the local bigfoot. Trying to have the respectful approach, we made sure to ask for fireworks that were quiet and only produced bright colors...absolutely no loud explosions.


Well, it was getting pretty late so out came the fireworks. I placed them in the middle of the road, lit the fuse and ran off...waiting. Next thing you know the entire surrounding forest is lit up like a football stadium and explosions are going off like a complete war zone. Leaves are raining down everywhere from the rockets exploding in the trees. We are totally freaking out from the complete betrayal of the fireworks salesman's promise of "These aren't the type that explode."
Fully expecting zero activity due to our failed attempt at "entertaining" the local Sasquatch, we immediately start speaking out loudly towards the woods..."We're very sorry for the noise! We didn't know this was going to happen! We're sorry!" Absolutely disgusted with ourselves and the deed we'd done, we head back to our campsite with our ears still ringing form the recent battle. Eventually we called it a night and got into our campers for bed.


I'd say about 30 minutes after going to bed, Tom radios me saying something is throwing rocks at his metal fold-out camp table next to his camper. I have the window next to my head open so I begin listening intently for anything and everything. A few minutes later I begin hearing what sounded like small pebbles smacking the backside of my camper. It's not overwhelming, but just an occasional "tap...tap" of pebbles. After a little while longer all seems to go quiet and being totally exhausted, I eventually start drifting off to sleep. That was until something with VERY  heavy footsteps runs quickly past the window next to my head. My eyes pop wide open and I just lay there frozen. Next, I hear a really loud CRACK! from the woods on the other side of my camper. I then hear what sounds like a very large tree being dragged through the woods. Snaps and pops of limbs underfoot are all around our campsite! Tom gets back on the radio and says "Are you hearing all this? It sounds like a sasquatch tornado out there!" At that point it was starting to almost become hilarious at the activity all around us as it didn't seem aggressive, just noisy! It was like the entire family came out to say hi!


For pretty much the rest of the night there was constantly some type of snapping limbs and brush being moved around. We never did see anything, but they definitely made their presence known. I'll have to say, this night was one of the best memories I have to date involving sasquatch research. We will be returning to this location very soon and needless to say I'll bring a few fireworks. Just maybe not as obnoxious as the last ones...sparklers maybe?

Tent Eyeglow Follow Up

About five years ago I spent the night at a campground within the Smoky Mountains National Park. It was an area that I had been researching for quite a while. Through interaction, gifting and multiple encounters, I was and still am quite positive about Bigfoot activity there. On this particular night I had set up a night vision scope and camera within my truck to watch my campsite while I slept. I did not notice any activity while on location, however when reviewing the overnight video I saw a strange light appear behind my tent right after I went to bed. Since then another Tennessee researcher, Scott Carpenter, performed an analysis of the video and was able to pull out more detail.
This is a link to his video analysis...

 

 

 

Not long after reviewing the video I decided to go back to the location and do a daytime follow up. I was able to confirm that the location and situation was ideal for a sasquatch to stealthily creep up to observe my campsite. The landscape and lighting conditions were perfect that night.

I was also able to document how the ground behind my tent sloped downward allowing for a much taller individual to appear shorter from the road where my camera was running. On site follow up visits are something that can add much credibility to any encounter. If possible, always try make a second visit to encounter locations. Take photos and video to match the originals as closely as possible. Rule out misidentification or confirm what you saw was really there. Not just for others sake, but most importantly for your own! So many people go their entire lives wondering what it was they saw or if it was really even there. Was it a stump, tree or bear? Visiting the location and walking through the encounter again can help you remember details you may have overlooked. If that "tree" or "stump" is gone when you return, chances are you might have actually seen something.

Was this eyeglow from a bigfoot that appeared behind my tent? I just cant say that it was for sure. In my opinion, the evidence is not conclusive enough. Why cant we see more of the body? Why didn't I see something when I walked right past this location? Questions that lead to more questions.

Do I believe there was something there? Absolutely, I do. 

I know without a doubt there are bigfoot in this area. That and the great work Scott did of analyzing the original video help me to believe it's quite possible a sasquatch paid me a visit that night. There was at the very least something strange going on that I simply can't explain.

 

I completely leave this for you to decide for yourself. Thanks for your time and until the next post, the adventure continues...

Screaming In The Rain - Bigfoot and weather

Weather conditions, moon phases, seasons and so forth have always peaked my interest where Bigfoot activity is concerned. One condition in particular is rain. Is there activity during thunderstorms? Is it more active just before, during or after a rain? Do the Bigfoot hunker down like we do when it gets bad? Where do they go when the wind gets rough and trees start falling? What about hailstorms? So many questions and so few answers. 

Springtime in the smokies means many things... one of which is rain, rain and more rain! A very unpredictable weather pattern is the norm here to say the least. I spend a lot of time monitoring various locations with long duration audio recorders that come on at dusk and turn back off around daybreak. Rainy weather makes for a harsh recording environment with many wasted nights of audio filled with extremely loud raindrops. When reviewing, it used to be that I would immediately delete the rainy nights and move on to the more quiet rainless nights. Not so anymore, as it turns out that things DO happen when you least expect it! Especially when you get a short break in the rain during a storm and you can actually hear what’s going on. 

During the spring of 2016 at one of my national park recording locations, there was a period of approximately two months that the bigfoot were noticably more vocal than usual. Yells, screams, wood knocks, whoops and footsteps.

During that time, I obtained several quality recordings in which some were actually during adverse weather conditions. 
There was one particular rainy night that stood out the most... producing two extremely loud and forceful yells that sent chills down my spine. I could only imagine what it might have felt like to hear something like this while standing there in the total rainy darkness.

This recording happened at approximately 10:30pm. Earlier that evening heavy storms had passed through the area leaving much moisture still dripping from the trees and frogs croaking in the background. In this recording you will hear a single yell. After a short pause, a response yell from further away answering back. If you listen with headphones, you will also hear possible whoops and wood knocks in the background.

Scream and Reply

I would like to reinforce the fact of how remote and deep in the mountains this area is. Several conditions strongly indicate in my opinion that these vocals are not man made.

1. Time of night.

2. Location... a remote uninhabited area deep within the smoky mountains.

3. Extreme weather conditions earlier that evening. Very unlikely people would be out.

4. Vocal range of these calls is extremely hard for humans to create.

5. Why would people be in the middle of a deep remote forest at this time of night in bad weather conditions making these particular calls?

　
I suppose anything is possible, but take a listen and I’ll let you decide for yourself!
