\nRecordings Made?: No
\nAt the time this occurred my parents lived in the town of Northville. I was heading home for
\nThanksgiving and was coming back a bit late due to work. I took a back road that I love because it is a beautiful drive through the country-side and is a neat road with an old fashioned stone wall that runs along it. This road is a great way to get to Lake George from Northville. Basically the path less taken. I knew there was a pull off and since I had to make a quick pit stop, I decided to do my business at this spot as long as nobody was there. I wasn’t too worried as there is hardly any traffic on this back road. I pulled my car over and stood facing down the hill taking a piss. As I was sitting there doing my business, all of the sudden I heard the most horrendous sound I’ve ever heard. It started off as a low growl and built up to an inhuman shriek. As the shriek ended, all of the sudden i heard something huge crashing through the bushes and coming up the hill at me at a pretty good speed. I didn’t wait around to see what the hell was coming up the hill. I zipped up in record speed, got in my car and drove off as fast as I could put the keys in the ignition.
\nI asked game wardens what could make a sound like what I heard and they told me that a Bobcat can make this sound. Whatever was coming up the hill sounded bigger and heavier than a Bobcat and from what I know of that animal, it’s not one to come at someone (unless it’s rabid). I wish I had the presence of mind to stick around and see what the heck that was, but I guess I’ll never know. I think it’s very interesting though that the recordings I’ve heard of Bigfoot vocalizations sound very much like what I’ve heard. Hard to believe one is in NYS though.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
