If so, Description: The smell is very much like a mixture of rotting fish, garbage, wet dog,<br \/>\nand a pig farm combined.<br \/>\nVocalizations Heard?: The howl that I as well as my son and nephew have heard sounded very deep<br \/>\nand long. It was not at all coyote like as it maintained the same pitch and resonance through its<br \/>\nduration sounding more like a foghorn. I have heard strange chattering while outside smoking in the<br \/>\nmiddle of the night. The best I can describe them is as if coyotes and bullfrogs tried to talk at the same<br \/>\ntime. Talk&#8230; not chirp, croak or howl.<br \/>\nWood Knocks Heard?: Yes<br \/>\nPhysical Evidence? Tracks<br \/>\nSince December of 2007 I have had many encounters with what I believe to be a Sasquatch if not more.\u00a0Although I have yet to have a visual sighting, my neighbor&#8217;s sister has while leaving is home. I have,\u00a0however, had encounters of every other nature. I have had something huge jump out of a tree at the\u00a0edge of my property breaking branches on the way down and begin running through the woods. This\u00a0was done as a reaction to my howling. I have heard wood-knocking and when I did the same it would\u00a0respond in with more. I have howled and had it howl in return. It can be heard from a distance to just\u00a0within a hundred feet of my home then it goes silent.\u00a0I think it gets curious and once it sees that I am a &#8220;false alarm&#8221; it goes silent.\u00a0I have smelt the creature which smells like a mixture of garbage, a hog-pen, and sweaty under-arms. On\u00a0several occasions I have heard ore than one as if communicating. The cries sound very similar to that of\u00a0an old woman weeping.I have also found scat and what I believed to be weathered tracks.<br \/>\nAs I mentioned my neighbor said his sister had seen the animal one evening while departing from his<br \/>\nhome. According to him, it crossed the road in front of her and scared her so badly she turned around\u00a0and went back to his house. She claimed the creature exited from a small ravine which is between his\u00a0house and my own and went behind his house into a hollow. I want to search for the creature but due to\u00a0safety reasons do want to do so alone. I have heard this creature on several occasions. My son as well\u00a0as other family members and friends have heard it as well. One in particular is a friend who was visiting\u00a0from Illinois and who I had not shared any info with. However, while on her visit she was outside and\u00a0heard it and came in puzzled to tell me what she had heard. I have howled and had these howls\u00a0responded to as well as wood knocks being responded to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"field field-name-field-assigned-investigator field-type-text field-label-above\">\n<div class=\"field-label\">Assigned Investigator:<\/div>\n<div class=\"field-items\">\n<div class=\"field-item even\">\n<p>Mike Humphrey<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time and Place: Year: 2007 Month: December Day of Month (number only &#8211; e.g. 16): Dec . 2007 to present Time of Day: evening to late night County: Mississippi Choctaw Conditions: Terrain Description: hardwood and pine with many streams and creeks Lighting Conditions: usually at dusk Nearest Town or Landmark: Ackerman, Tombigbee National Forest Description [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kmhzone.org\/IDBv4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kmhzone.org\/IDBv4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kmhzone.org\/IDBv4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kmhzone.org\/IDBv4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kmhzone.org\/IDBv4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=141"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/kmhzone.org\/IDBv4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":142,"href":"http:\/\/kmhzone.org\/IDBv4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/141\/revisions\/142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kmhzone.org\/IDBv4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kmhzone.org\/IDBv4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/kmhzone.org\/IDBv4\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
