and a pig farm combined.
Vocalizations Heard?: The howl that I as well as my son and nephew have heard sounded very deep
and long. It was not at all coyote like as it maintained the same pitch and resonance through its
duration sounding more like a foghorn. I have heard strange chattering while outside smoking in the
middle of the night. The best I can describe them is as if coyotes and bullfrogs tried to talk at the same
time. Talk… not chirp, croak or howl.

Physical Evidence? Tracks
Since December of 2007 I have had many encounters with what I believe to be a Sasquatch if not more. Although I have yet to have a visual sighting, my neighbor’s sister has while leaving is home. I have, however, had encounters of every other nature. I have had something huge jump out of a tree at the edge of my property breaking branches on the way down and begin running through the woods. This was done as a reaction to my howling. I have heard wood-knocking and when I did the same it would respond in with more. I have howled and had it howl in return. It can be heard from a distance to just within a hundred feet of my home then it goes silent. I think it gets curious and once it sees that I am a “false alarm” it goes silent. I have smelt the creature which smells like a mixture of garbage, a hog-pen, and sweaty under-arms. On several occasions I have heard ore than one as if communicating. The cries sound very similar to that of an old woman weeping.I have also found scat and what I believed to be weathered tracks.
As I mentioned my neighbor said his sister had seen the animal one evening while departing from his
home. According to him, it crossed the road in front of her and scared her so badly she turned around and went back to his house. She claimed the creature exited from a small ravine which is between his house and my own and went behind his house into a hollow. I want to search for the creature but due to safety reasons do want to do so alone. I have heard this creature on several occasions. My son as well as other family members and friends have heard it as well. One in particular is a friend who was visiting from Illinois and who I had not shared any info with. However, while on her visit she was outside and heard it and came in puzzled to tell me what she had heard. I have howled and had these howls responded to as well as wood knocks being responded to.
