00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:06.599
Welcome to the big Foot Society.
In this remastered episode, we talked to

2
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:11.000
Tristan Yolton, who shares some incredible
recordings he's captured over the years in the

3
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:15.640
Bumping Lake area of Washington. If
you've experienced something similar to what Tristan has,

4
00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:19.800
or have more information regarding Bigfoot or
other cryptids in the same areas,

5
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:24.519
please reach out immediately to me after
this episode. Remember, your encounter could

6
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:27.719
be the key to unlocking this mystery
once and for all, so please don't

7
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:31.839
hesitate to contact me at big for
Society at gmail dot com. All right,

8
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:37.079
Bigfoot Society, you've got the privilege
of talking to Tristan Yolten today.

9
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.679
He's a Bigfoot researcher from Washington State. How's it going today, Tristan,

10
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.679
It's going great. Thanks for having
me on. Yeah, you got it.

11
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:50.200
It's a lot of people have been
throwing your name around and I remember

12
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:55.280
seeing you in Tates. I believe
it's a Bumping Lake documentary he did in

13
00:00:55.320 --> 00:01:00.320
his series Asquatchesars for Save. But
is there anything else that the listeners should

14
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.799
know about you? Tristan to kind
of set the stage, well, growing

15
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:11.239
up, I've always been interested in
monsters and creatures, and Bigfoot was one

16
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:14.879
of the things I was interested in, but I was never I was never

17
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.000
interested in going out there looking for
it. It's just something that like.

18
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:23.159
I like dinosaurs and aliens and things
like that, Godzilla, I liked those

19
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.959
kind of things. Growing up in
Bigfoot was just another thing I liked that

20
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.760
was interested in, but I never
had any I didn't want to go out

21
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.319
there to look for it. I
just thought it was just something cool.

22
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.799
So that all changed for me though
in twenty fifteen, when my father heard

23
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:42.920
some whoops coming up from this hill
behind our house one morning while he was

24
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:48.400
sticking the tresh out, And he
didn't tell us about this until a week

25
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:51.400
later because he didn't really think anything
of it, but I guess he was

26
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.120
kind of stewing about it and maybe
thought maybe could be sasquatched. So he

27
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:59.200
brought it up to me and my
mom and we were like totally surprised,

28
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.680
and so we decided to go up
there. Made my mom decided to go

29
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.799
up on the sale media left the
recorder out in a jar of peanut butter

30
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:12.919
and some peanut butter crackers, and
the next day when we went up there,

31
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.120
the jar looked like the jar looked
like there was a hand that went

32
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:20.919
inside of it. You could see
some possible dermal ridges on the inside of

33
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.879
the jar, impossible finger holes inside
of it. Possibly something took its hand

34
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:28.000
in there and scooped it out,
scooped out the peanut butter, and the

35
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.560
peanut butter crackers were they were gone, but they looked like they were opened

36
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:36.960
very neatly, not ripped open like
some kind of like a bear or something

37
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.639
would do it. It kind of
looked like somebody carefully opened it and took

38
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:44.639
the crackers out and ate it.
And the weird thing, the most weird

39
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.599
thing is this. I had this
recorder strapped to a stump with a bungee

40
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:52.639
cord on it, and when I
went over to it, the recorder looked

41
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.560
fine. It looked like nothing touched
it. But when I went home and

42
00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:00.240
listened to it on the computer,
about an hour after we left the recorder

43
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:05.919
up on this hill and it became
dark, I would say about an hour

44
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:10.400
later, something came in and as
you hear on one of the recordings I

45
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:14.879
have, you'll hear it eat the
food and then it, I guess it

46
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:19.000
sees my recorder and comes over to
the recorder. It starts growling and messing

47
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:23.919
with it, fumbling with it,
and I mean, the thing is,

48
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.199
there's no marks on the recorder or
anything like that, So I had no

49
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.479
idea that occurred. And I've left
recorders out in the woods before and I've

50
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:36.479
had bears take them and chomp on
them and eat them the bits, and

51
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.960
this where this thing was didn't do
that, So that was very strange to

52
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:45.120
me. And was that a bear
that did this? I had no idea,

53
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:47.879
but it's not the same kind of
behavior that I've experienced with other recorders,

54
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:53.120
so it really makes me wonder.
And also on the recording, there's

55
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:58.719
this really loud at the beginning of
it, there's a really loud humming,

56
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:02.199
humming feet back kind of a sound, and I don't know if that's a

57
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.439
moth going by or something else,
but some kind of weird interference that just

58
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:12.719
goes by the recorder. And then
a few seconds later you'll hear a possible

59
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.279
wood knock in the background and a
whoop. And then about thirty seconds so

60
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.759
here this when you start hearing this
thing start coming in and start eating the

61
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:24.639
food, and then you'll hear a
loud, really deep growl. I guess

62
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.600
it sees my recorder and then about
a few seconds later, that's when you

63
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.040
hear it come over to the recorder
and start really growling and messing with them,

64
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:35.800
fumbling with the recorder. So and
then after that happens, it just

65
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:41.199
it just leaves. It just stops
what it's doing and it just leaves and

66
00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:45.560
there's is silence. So again,
if it was a bear, I would

67
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.759
think the bear would really try to
try to eat it and scratch it and

68
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:54.040
chomp at it. But my recorder
was intact. There was no scratches or

69
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:58.079
teeth marks or anything on it.
So that really perplexed me, and to

70
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.600
this day I have no idea what
that was. But with some of the

71
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:03.800
sounds that you can hear on the
recording, such as such as the possible

72
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:09.279
would would knock in the whoop in
the background, makes you wonder what was

73
00:05:09.319 --> 00:08:26.639
going on up there? Mhm mkay, yes, can you that that is

74
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:31.240
really weird? Because it is a
it's an interesting one. Let's give listeners

75
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:37.559
a little bit of a context in
that area where you had those bigfoot interactions

76
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.080
at the beginning. Are you comfortable
with a certain region of Washington that you

77
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:46.200
were in. To give context for
the listener, I'll just say it's it's

78
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.960
near the Cascade Range near the mountains. Yeah, it's not. It's not

79
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.120
near the Olympics or anything like that, like where the Olympic project is.

80
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.799
It's like totally near the mountains.
So and that's the thing too. Like

81
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.679
this area around where I am,
it's surrounded forests and mountains everywhere. So

82
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:05.200
it's the possibility of a sasquatch has
been around is very very high, in

83
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:09.320
my opinion, very possible. What
I think is happening was happening because I

84
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.840
don't I don't even know what if
they're still going on up there, if

85
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:15.919
that's what they are, if that's
what it was. But we were thinking

86
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.919
maybe this, this hill was a
travel route for them, and maybe they're

87
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.399
going to and from like every night
or every few days or something like that

88
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:28.679
through there, because there's no there's
really no at the time, there's really

89
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.639
no development up there. There was
it's just pretty much woods up there and

90
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:37.440
there's a there's also a stream up
there, so maybe they were they felt

91
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.799
comfortable in traveling that is a route
every night or whenever they wanted to during

92
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:46.519
during the night without being detected being
seen by anybody. And one other thing

93
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.360
I want to mention about my dad's
encounter, if you want to call it

94
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.080
after the thing is he was taking
the trash out in the morning and then

95
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.440
he was going to go to work. So on his way to work down

96
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:01.240
down our road here he saw I
heard of elk standing in the middle of

97
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.879
the road and they were all looking
up towards the direction of this hill up

98
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:11.279
here, So they must have they
must have heard those whoops that my dad

99
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.279
heard, and maybe that spooked them. My dad had to drive around that

100
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.720
heard of elk that was standing in
the road. He thought that was very

101
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.399
odd behavior to see them do that, to be focused on the hill up

102
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:24.960
there. I can't say for sure
that that was a big foot, but

103
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:30.000
really makes you wonder though. It
sounds like you got interested in the whole

104
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.360
bigfoot thing, Is that right?
Yes? Oh yeah, yeah, definitely.

105
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:35.519
It was pretty shocking to me because
after all these years of living out

106
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.480
here, I never had a clue
that the bigfoot exists that they would probably

107
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.840
be right near where I live.
So that was a huge shock to me

108
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:48.759
and that really got me interested in
maybe I should start investigating this more and

109
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:54.279
the audio of course here in the
audio just really that really started it.

110
00:10:54.559 --> 00:11:00.399
So yeah, after I did that, I started I started checking around looking

111
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:05.000
on on websites for sightings and Bigfoot
groups. And I won't say the name,

112
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:09.559
but we did get in contact with
the Bigfoot group and we started searching

113
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.679
with them for a few years,
go on camp outs with them. That

114
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:16.320
was able to teach me some more
things about what's going on out there possibly,

115
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:22.480
but unfortunately I haven't really I haven't
really experienced that much with that group.

116
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:24.639
Being part of that group, though
it did teach me things of what

117
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.519
to look for and maybe how to
approach some of my research. So it's

118
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.159
mostly been on my own kind of
research. Is that where I've been able

119
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.240
to where I've been able to collect
things mostly, but I will say there's

120
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.159
been some times where I have collected
some audio, like a bumping Lake.

121
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.360
If we would go to Bumping Lake, I would collect some audio there with

122
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:46.639
them. So talking about Bumping Lake, which if you're in the Bigfoot community,

123
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:52.120
that's a buzzword area that's been going
around quite a bit over the last

124
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:58.600
few years. Can you describe the
Bumping Lake area From what I know,

125
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.879
it's An, a lake that is
to the east of Mount Rainier. Correct,

126
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.799
Yeah, roughly, yes, very
high up in elevation too, three

127
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.799
thousand feet or so up an elevation. There's two ways you can get there.

128
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:16.080
There's one way from Yakama to get
there, and there's another way through

129
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.960
to get there called Schnook Pass,
where you basically have to climb up this

130
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.600
pass up this mountain to get there. But for me, it takes almost

131
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:28.039
three hours to get the Bumping Lake
and the Bumpy Lake road itself, it

132
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:31.039
will take you forty five minutes to
an hour just to get to the lake

133
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.080
itself. It's along the main road. Getting there is a long road to

134
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.360
take and then there's some campsites.
So here's the thing. The Bumping Lake

135
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.919
is very huge. It's a very
huge lake. There's some primitive campsites behind

136
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:50.279
it. There's a dirt road behind
it which leads to these primitive campsites,

137
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:54.799
and that's where we like to go
in terms of our camp outs because it's

138
00:12:54.840 --> 00:13:00.120
away from the lake. It's more
towards the mountains, and there's some RVM

139
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.279
spots right next to the lake,
and that's that's where a lot of people

140
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:05.879
congregate and populate there and we try
to get away from that as much as

141
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.759
we can. And obviously during the
summer it's very popular. You'll see a

142
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.840
whole bunch of people out there fishing
and rafting, doing all the all sorts

143
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:18.080
of stuff out on the lakes.
The surrounding area Bumping Leg is this forest

144
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.600
and mountains, and in my opinion, it's perfect habitat for these guys.

145
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.840
Like though, there's out there all
sorts of wildlife, and of course you

146
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:30.080
got the big lake, the source
of water, and there's also little creeks

147
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:35.320
and streams around and a lot of
woods, a lot of high peaks and

148
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.440
everything like it's it's perfect for these
guys to be there. And yeah,

149
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:45.799
are there reports going back pretty far
of seeing Bigfoot there or is this a

150
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:50.720
thing where it's just more recent times
that people were realizing that there have been

151
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.159
bigfoot a scene and heard in that
area. Kind of like what you mentioned

152
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:58.720
leg, Bumping Lake has been it
seems to be more popular in the past

153
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.200
few years. But I want to
understand it's been kind of like a secret

154
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.919
area for a lot of Bigfoot researchers. Now not a lot of people know

155
00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:09.960
about it until in the past couple
of years. But I guess that's because

156
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.320
more people are hearing about it and
you know, taking more people out there,

157
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.159
kind of like what happened with my
Bigfoot group is that they took us

158
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.039
up right, It wasn't really a
well known thing everywhere. It was this

159
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.480
more kind of a secret area for
a lot of the I would say maybe

160
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:30.399
Washington researchers. As far as how
far back I I mean, it could

161
00:14:30.440 --> 00:14:35.000
be back from the eighties and nineties
from from from what I know, yeah,

162
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.799
there could be a lot of people. I know people are going up

163
00:14:37.840 --> 00:14:41.360
there for years, so it could
be reports could be stretching from years back.

164
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:48.480
Possibly. I bet you can probably
search for reports dating back back then

165
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:50.600
too, So no, no doubt. Yeah, if you know, if

166
00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:52.639
you know where to look for those, you know what I mean, right

167
00:14:54.039 --> 00:15:01.120
exactly. Yeah. So I was
looking through all the files folders you sent

168
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:03.919
over, and one of the things
I got right away is that you've been

169
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:11.600
studying You've been researching this area and
gotten evidence out of it for multiple years.

170
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:18.759
There were folders twenty twenty twenty one, twenty two, right, what

171
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:24.240
kind of things have come out of
your time researching in the Bumping Lake area

172
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:31.080
that that you consider interesting when it
comes to bigfoot research. Well, I

173
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:35.120
guess the main thing for me at
Bumping Lake is gathered an audio at these

174
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.960
primitive campsites, as I named in
some of the folders that are there,

175
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:43.320
one called California Camp. There's too
many for me. There's two main camps

176
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:50.200
that I go to that that were
introduced to me with my bigfoot group that

177
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:54.720
I was going with. One is
called California Camp and another one is called

178
00:15:54.879 --> 00:16:00.159
Rock Camp. And the interesting thing
about those is that there are my all

179
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:03.080
apart from each other, not that
close to each other, but there's still

180
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:08.639
very far out there. They're very
remote primitive camp spots. And Rock Camp,

181
00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:12.080
for example, was very popular with
the bigfooters. Like I've gone there

182
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:17.720
and I've seen other bigfooters camp there. So it's a very well known spot.

183
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:21.919
And I know, I know that
Bob Gimlin he's been there before and

184
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:26.360
he's had some stuff happened to him
there. Oh really that's cool. Yeah,

185
00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.120
So yeah, it's a very it's
a very popular spot. And but

186
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:34.159
yeah, they call it Rock Camp
because it's it's a it's a camp that's

187
00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:41.080
kind of it. It's like a
circular camp that's surrounded by some high cliffs

188
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:44.679
and peaks behind it, and there's
a rock, a big rock shell behind

189
00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:48.200
it. And but I guess that's
where they got rock camp from. I

190
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.440
really don't know for sure, but
that's what I'm assuming why they call it

191
00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:56.039
rock camp. And for me,
that's the majority of my bigfoot audio,

192
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.559
if you want to call it,
that has occurred at this camp. There's

193
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.960
a little bill above, there's a
within this big circle, there's a camp.

194
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.200
There's like a main campfire, and
behind it there's just a bunch of

195
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.599
woods basically, and then there's like
a rock shale and then that mountain beats

196
00:17:12.640 --> 00:17:17.400
behind it, all surrounded by woods. If you watch tape documentary, you'll

197
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:21.079
see some of that. And the
thing is, I believe that if the

198
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:25.640
Sasquatch is there, they are coming
down from that from that mountain, mountain

199
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:30.359
peak and rock shale, and they're
coming down to this hill that's right above

200
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.720
our camp, and they're watching us
at the campfire or doing whatever. But

201
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:37.319
I think there were I think they
come down and watch us from this hill

202
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.640
that's behind us. I possibly think
they're juveniles because I when I put an

203
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.160
ire recorder up in this hill.
I've gotten some I mean, as you

204
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.200
probably heard on the audio, I've
gotten some weird language kind of sounds and

205
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:53.359
beach and chatter and stuff like that. And that's not us. We're not

206
00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:57.000
making those sounds at the campfire.
That's I mean. I have these recorders

207
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:00.599
pointed at the woods and there's no
camp uppers behind us. That's all woods

208
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:06.079
back up in there. So something's
coming down and making those sounds. Man.

209
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:07.960
And I can't say for suret sasquatch
because I didn't see it, but

210
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:15.759
something is making those sounds. It
could be juveniles doing that. As we

211
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.440
get into some of the audio.
Just to clarify, you've got the California

212
00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:22.920
camp and the Rock camp. You
said the are a mile apart from each

213
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:26.680
other, right, yeah, yeah, those camps are. So there's like

214
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.960
a dirt road, right, there's
a there's a it's a bumpy dirt road.

215
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:34.279
It's really it's not paved or anything
like that. It's really rough on

216
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:37.799
your tires. I would I've seen
people go through it like crazy, but

217
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:42.119
they shouldn't because they'll pop a tire
easily. It's a very These are very

218
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:45.400
primitive campsites. Some of the campsites
are a mile apart. Others are like

219
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:49.680
maybe across the road, but still
still a little ways away from each other.

220
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:52.720
But well, like I said,
like this rock camp, for example,

221
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:59.440
there's no campsites behind behind us there, so there's no way anybody can

222
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:02.880
come through there from behind. I'm
getting like some of the some of these

223
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:07.200
sounds are happening way late at night
too, so behind us doing that.

224
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.920
That's what I'm curious as to the
content. So you listen to some of

225
00:19:11.960 --> 00:19:15.000
these sounds, and I'm like,
I gotta have the context in the story

226
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:18.880
behind these sounds, because some of
them are wild. Man, Let's go

227
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.200
ahead and let's let's start with one
of them. I'll play the sound first

228
00:19:22.279 --> 00:19:26.720
and then you can give the story
behind it. So here we go.

229
00:19:32.799 --> 00:20:12.359
Ok, yeah, that's so wild, dude. So, so that wasn't

230
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:17.039
recorded bumping lake, which is fine. That is that was recorded at an

231
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:22.880
area about an hour away behind my
house. Well it's like an hour away

232
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:26.119
from us. Yeah, yeah,
it's not like right behind I mean there's

233
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.440
a there's a forested area where just
logging that happens about. Well, it's

234
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:37.279
like warehouse you used to be behind
us back here and somebody else's bottom out,

235
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:41.920
but it's it's a big lumbard forest
area that you can in some spots

236
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.160
you can only get in through the
permit. There's some gates, but you

237
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:49.200
have to have a permit to get
in, and this this area is one

238
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:53.319
of those. I would just say
it's near lake. It's it's near lake

239
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:59.839
behind one of these permitted gates.
And my mom and I went went to

240
00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:04.559
the spot one time and we were
just researching. Well, the thing is,

241
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:10.920
we've camped in this spot before,
and we've had I've had an audio

242
00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:12.559
recorder in a tree next to our
truck. We camped in the truck one

243
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:18.559
time and I had an audio recorder
on this tree next to our truck,

244
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:22.880
and during the night, something was
throwing pebbles at our truck and you could

245
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:29.440
hear a whoop. Yeah, you
could hear a whoop too, So that

246
00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.880
really got excited. There's another time
I camped there in the same truck and

247
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:38.599
I put a recorder out in these
woods here near this lake. And about

248
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:41.720
three o'clock in the morning, I
woke up and I said, you know

249
00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:45.440
what, I just want to get
the hell out of here, so I'm

250
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:47.880
gonna go out there and I'm just
going to get the recorder and come back

251
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:52.599
and we can go home. So
I did that. And the thing is,

252
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.240
I didn't have a flash light on
me or anything like that. I

253
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:57.880
just had the moon light. So
I just followed the moon light to the

254
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:02.279
recorder to these woods. And when
I picked up the recorder, as soon

255
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:04.640
as I picked up the recorder and
turned around, it was a loud growl

256
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:11.880
behind me and scared. It scared
the hell out of me. And I

257
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:15.000
did not look behind me. I
just stared right ahead, and I walked

258
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:18.720
all the way back to my truck, all the way back to my truck,

259
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:21.839
and I got in my got in
my truck, and my mom saw

260
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:25.160
me, and the first thing she
said was you're as white as a ghost.

261
00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:29.759
And when I said I was drive, all I told her was drive

262
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:33.920
and we got the hell out of
there. So that so that really freaked

263
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:37.279
me out, and that that helped. That helped get some interest in this

264
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:41.480
area. So she so that recording
that you just played. She and I

265
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:47.039
went up there during the daytime and
on her way out, I did a

266
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:48.960
really loud whoop. Where I was. When I did the whoop, I

267
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:53.119
was away from the lake, but
close enough for the sound to carry across

268
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:56.599
the lake. Why I couldn't hear
from where where I was, I can't

269
00:22:56.680 --> 00:23:02.119
hear anything coming from the lake.
So that whoop response and there's two wheel

270
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:06.400
responses you hear in it. Those
that couldn't hear, Uh, those were

271
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:10.559
on the recorder when I listened to
them. So in the wood knocks woo,

272
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:15.400
the woodnock sounds that you hear were
me doing that. So those two

273
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.079
whoop responses you hear after my initial
whoop, and then you hear the okay,

274
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:22.960
got it, got it, got
it. The two woops was something

275
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:27.200
in response to me. Those two
whoops there and then so yeah, there's

276
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:32.960
my initial whoop and then you hear
the whoop. Whoop wasn't me wow?

277
00:23:33.240 --> 00:23:36.519
And then I did the knox,
I did the three knocks, and then

278
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:40.160
you hear one more whoop, which
would which was kind of like a build

279
00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:45.160
up. He goes whoo. Yeah
you know what that that list It was

280
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:51.720
like a build up kind of a
whoop and me you first, then your

281
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:56.200
knox, then two whoop responses.
No wait, it goes like this.

282
00:23:56.359 --> 00:24:02.799
It goes my first whoop, I
go whoop, and something goes whoo whoo.

283
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.799
And again I didn't hear that in
person. I didn't hear that wow.

284
00:24:07.079 --> 00:24:11.599
And then because so that's the thing
I didn't, I didn't hear a

285
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:14.920
response, So I just said,
well, maybe i'll do a woo knock,

286
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:18.160
maybe i'll get something, Okay,
So after so there for me.

287
00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:21.720
For me, it was silence after
I did my initial whoop. So I

288
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:26.480
did three knocks and then that's when
you hear that response again, the build

289
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:34.160
up response, Yeah that we have
the story. Yeah, that's that's fantastic.

290
00:24:34.880 --> 00:25:22.720
Yeah. What was your response when
you heard that audio recorder and you

291
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.200
heard the responses on there that you
hadn't heard in real life? Dude?

292
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:29.240
It was total wow? Like,
where the hell did this come from?

293
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:33.640
Because I didn't hear that in person, and there was nobody else out there

294
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.079
with this man. It was just
me and my mom, So it was

295
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:40.599
shocking, total Shocklate, where did
the hell did this come from? Because

296
00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:44.319
I couldn't hear it from where I
was sore where I had the recorder,

297
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:47.799
where I had the recorder place,
I guess it was closer to wherever this

298
00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:51.119
thing was, so I was able
to the recorder was able to pick that

299
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:53.759
up but I couldn't hear it with
my own ears, so maybe the recorder

300
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:59.079
maybe it amplify sound, so maybe
that's why you hear it better. But

301
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:02.319
in person, man, I I
cann't hear any of that. So that's

302
00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:03.880
why I did the whoop and then
the knox because I was thinking, well,

303
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.359
if I'm not gonna get a response
with a whoop, maybe i'll try

304
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:12.559
some knocks. They're similar, but
the response one does ramp up and yeah,

305
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:15.720
oh man, it's hard to describe, but it's very cool. That's

306
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:18.400
the thing that wasn't my whoop you
heard the second time or third time,

307
00:26:18.440 --> 00:26:22.559
because I my whoops whoop, But
this thing that if you listen to it

308
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.359
more, it sounds more natural,
like a more natural kind of a loop

309
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:30.880
cell something that something instrumid than me, especially like that ramp. Like you're

310
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:33.319
talking about that third one where it
goes woo, I wasn't doing that.

311
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:41.279
Wow. Yeah, that's awesome,
dude, that's legit. Let's go on

312
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:45.759
to another one, and this is
this is the drumming one. I'm I'm

313
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:51.279
really curious what this. I'll play
it for you so you remember, and

314
00:26:51.359 --> 00:27:11.599
then I'm just curious what the story
is behind this one. Okay, what's

315
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:15.000
the story there? Oh yeah,
I remember that one. This was out

316
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:19.599
Rock camp and me, me and
some fellow researchers were at a campfire.

317
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:22.559
And that's the thing that we like
to make some noise at the campfire,

318
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.559
try to hopefully bring them in.
That's our way, using drums and instruments

319
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:30.240
and talking and laughing. We were
hoping that we'll bring the Sasquatch in.

320
00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:36.160
And and so what happened on that
one night is I had the thing is

321
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:38.160
I always have my recorders placed up
on this hill behind camp, but either

322
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:44.599
just a rig just a digital recorder, or with a with a pair of

323
00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:47.519
bolic mic as well. I got
a pair of bowk Mike a couple of

324
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:49.240
years ago, so I've been using
that work for this recording. And I

325
00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:53.200
think I had a task cam recorder
for that, and I just had that

326
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:56.359
strapped to a tree and I have
that pointed towards the mountain, towards the

327
00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.960
woods. That's another thing too,
at place these recorders pretty far up on

328
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:04.000
this hill and into the woods.
I try to put them away far away

329
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:08.920
from camp as possible, but with
the surrounding area around us, any sound

330
00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:11.920
we make at the campfire is gonna
kind of echo around, so I'm gonna

331
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.359
pick them up. But if you
hear in the beginning of that of that

332
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:21.400
record, and you'll hear like a
female voice and like a real deep male

333
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:26.279
voice closer to the recorder, And
I don't think that was one of us

334
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:30.160
making those sounds like that last that
last sound where he goes raw, you

335
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:34.359
know, the real loud thing.
Yeah, that wasn't us. Man like

336
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:40.039
you is no anything close to the
recorder, in my opinion, is something

337
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:42.480
that's close to the recorder not us. Goodness, That's what I'm saying.

338
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:45.960
Like when you're when you hear those
voices in the like those far off voices,

339
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:49.319
like it sounds like somebody's singing,
I think that's one of us at

340
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:52.920
the campfire. But when you hear
something closer to the recorder, like there's

341
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:56.640
a there's a female voice that's kind
of that's close to the recorder and it's

342
00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.440
saying something that you can't even understand
what that what she's saying because it sofferent

343
00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.920
like a different language. And then
you hear like a male response to that.

344
00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:10.279
I believe towards the end of it, that real deep raw sound and

345
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:12.759
again that it sounds like a language
that doesn't sound English or anything to me.

346
00:29:14.079 --> 00:29:18.319
So I think they're conversing. If
it's a Sasquatch, I think they're

347
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:21.920
conversing with each other while watching us
at the campfire. So yeah, you

348
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:26.039
hear us singing and stuff and drumming
in the recording as well. But if

349
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.480
you hear some real, you know, close voices, I think that's what

350
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:34.319
could be sasquatched possibly. All right, let's listen to that again. Then

351
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:56.680
that's that's some good context here we
go. H that's weird. Yeah,

352
00:29:57.400 --> 00:30:00.839
So did you hear that female kind
of voice in the beginning. Yeah,

353
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.640
And it sounds like it sounds like
a different language though to it right,

354
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:07.440
it doesn't sound like any kind of
English. It's kind of hard to explain,

355
00:30:07.599 --> 00:30:11.519
but it's it just sounds like it's
some kind of odd native language to

356
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:15.359
me. And in that response,
that was a real deep response when it

357
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:22.519
goes about man, yeah yeah cool. So yeah, roughly how long ago

358
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:25.759
is that? That might be from
two thousand, I don't know if it's

359
00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:27.839
stated on there, but it might
be from twenty twenty. I mean,

360
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:30.319
I mean, yeah, the past
couple of years I'm beginning a lot of

361
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:34.440
audio up on that hill every time
we go there. In fact, I

362
00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:40.519
even got some during Tate's expedition as
well. I think I included those in

363
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:45.279
your folders. But on the last
night we were there, would say Paul

364
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:48.880
Graves is playing his guitar and singing, and then up on the hill there

365
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:53.559
you get a couple of response stuff
happens. There's a there's something that goes

366
00:30:53.799 --> 00:31:00.359
whoa. Then you hear like a
woodknock or like a wax sound. Funny

367
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.160
thing about this stuff is that we
don't really hear that. We don't hear

368
00:31:03.240 --> 00:31:07.039
the stuff at the campfire. This
is all on the shortings. There's been

369
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:11.440
a couple instances though, and I
don't know if I can't remember if I

370
00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:15.039
included them in the files. But
we had a friend at the campfire one

371
00:31:15.119 --> 00:31:19.000
time and he went whoaw, and
then on from the hill behind us,

372
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:25.359
you can hear something mimic him twice
and I actually really person yeah, oh

373
00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:27.240
yeah, And I can't remember if
I I can't remember if I have that

374
00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:30.480
in your audio recordings I sent you, But yeah, that's I don't remember

375
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:34.079
that one. Maybe I just didn't
know what it was. At the time,

376
00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:37.400
it's all good. But that's one
of the things we've heard at that

377
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.599
campfire is like bus on responses.
If these are Sasquatch, I think they

378
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:47.359
are juveniles coming in to watch us
and messing with us. It's almost like

379
00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:52.880
you need you need a way to
do like a live monitoring of the audio

380
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:56.880
that's being captured in your camp at
the same time that you're recording. I

381
00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:02.039
don't know if there's even a way
to do that that's cheap enough for most

382
00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:07.599
bigfooters. Myself, I'm thought about
camping up on this hill, but I'm

383
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:09.559
kind of afraid to. But at
the same time, I kind of want

384
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:13.559
to do it now, just to
see if something happens, if I see

385
00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:17.319
anything, because well, if you
don't, you're going to be regretting it

386
00:32:17.400 --> 00:32:21.400
for the rest of your life.
You're you're an old dude. You're going

387
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:22.319
to be like, I should have
done it, Dude, you should do

388
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:28.039
it. That would be Oh man, I probably should. But again,

389
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:30.000
is I going to deter them?
I don't know. Maybe they feel comfortable.

390
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:32.839
Maybe they feel comfortable on a hill, So if I go up there

391
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:37.880
and actually stay up there, maybe
they'll scare them off. So I don't

392
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.559
know, or they might feel threatened. I mean, you never know unless

393
00:32:40.559 --> 00:32:45.559
you try, right, exactly unless
you try. And another thing I want

394
00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:47.160
to bring up is that there's been
some forest fires up up in the lake

395
00:32:47.200 --> 00:32:52.319
the past couple of summers over so
that I think that might have just disrupted

396
00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:54.359
something. So that's the other thing
too. Not every time you go there

397
00:32:54.400 --> 00:33:00.119
you're going to get something, and
so I think everybody should know that that.

398
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:02.599
Don't always expect to get anything every
time you go there. It's just

399
00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:07.400
luck. And and also real quick, that recording I sent you, the

400
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:10.119
thirty minute one, the one I
found out to show the chorus. Yeah,

401
00:33:10.200 --> 00:33:13.960
that was a that was a California
camp a couple of years ago.

402
00:33:14.640 --> 00:33:17.160
It was just it was just me
and my mom camping there and at two

403
00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:22.559
o'clock in the morning, these things
started going off and it woke me up.

404
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:25.160
But unfortunately her hearing isn't the best
the best or tea can't hear it

405
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:29.599
in person. But I'll tell you, man, like, the recording doesn't

406
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:32.400
do a justice. It was so
freaking left and it was coming from different

407
00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:38.680
directions too. It wasn't coming from
one source, So I I don't know

408
00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:43.039
what it was. I can't say
for sureless sasquatch, but in my personal

409
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:46.240
opinion, it's either sasquatch or somebody
making those sounds. It's I don't think

410
00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:52.000
it was any other animal out there
because something they sound like, they sound

411
00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:55.039
like some kind of vocal, like
some kind of vocal track making those like

412
00:33:55.079 --> 00:34:01.880
a human ways doing that. So
what what Tristan is referring to is he

413
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:07.240
was if most people are going to
be aware of who Alex Pettakoff is from

414
00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:13.559
Beyond the Trail. He used to
have a interview YouTube series live stream,

415
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:17.079
and Tristan's been on two times correct, two different shows, and you're able

416
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:22.599
to play a lot, a lot
a lot of the audio on those shows.

417
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:27.800
So after this one, head on
over. I definitely recommend you head

418
00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:32.079
on over listen to the two Tristan
episodes on Alex for even more sounds.

419
00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:39.079
What I have next is when I
saw these two sounds, I was excited

420
00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:44.840
to hear the story because I have
a story that is very close to those

421
00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:50.760
sounds myself, as listeners will know. But I'll play I'll play him and

422
00:34:50.880 --> 00:35:01.280
then we'll get your story here,
So go ahead. So those are recorded

423
00:35:01.320 --> 00:35:06.960
at Rock Camp behind again, up
on this hill behind us. I just

424
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:08.840
have these recorders out, man,
they're just pointing towards the woods behind us,

425
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:13.719
up on this hill. And yeah, these zipper sounds. I've actually

426
00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:16.360
captured these in different spots as well. There's been a couple other spots I've

427
00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:22.639
been to that that I've captured zipper, these zipper kind of sounds. And

428
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:27.800
so I a sasquatch, I don't
know, but I've heard of people talk

429
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:30.679
about these kind of sounds before as
well. So how far away is your

430
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:38.320
recorder from camp approximately? See up
on this. I mean we're talking yards,

431
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:42.360
It's not like feet. We're talking
yards up up on the hill.

432
00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:45.840
I'm not the best with distance,
but I'm telling you it's not that close.

433
00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:50.199
Like you, I walk up pretty
far in there. I pointed it

434
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:52.119
in the woods and I just let
up run. And then you get these

435
00:35:52.159 --> 00:35:54.880
things at one o'clock, two o'clock
in the morning, three o'clock in the

436
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:59.360
morning, going on on their own. And like I said, I've heard

437
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:02.559
I've heard those recorded those zipper sounds
in other areas as well, So I

438
00:36:02.599 --> 00:36:07.719
think there's something going on with that. You know, obviously you're not,

439
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:15.920
are you leaving unzipping your tent during
those nights. No, but these aren't

440
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:19.880
near that, those aren't These aren't
near their tents, so they would even

441
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:22.239
capture those kind of sounds. Yeah, okay, so here's the weird thing.

442
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:25.559
So I'm just going to give you
the summary real quick, Tristan.

443
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:32.320
So, when I went on out
with Tate in the Iowa episode of that

444
00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:39.400
documentary series, we had my recorder
about I mean it was it was far

445
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:45.119
outside the campsite, it was not
near the tent, and I didn't leave

446
00:36:45.199 --> 00:36:49.320
my tent at all that night,
and at around three forty five, I

447
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:53.000
get a sound recording of what sounds
like a ten zipper. Sounded just like

448
00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:59.159
that, And I've been I mean, I've heard similar stories, but like

449
00:36:59.400 --> 00:37:04.400
nothing as close as the story you
just told me of that you're capturing these

450
00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:09.559
zipper sounds not even close to a
tent outside of the camp that's wild man.

451
00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:14.400
Yeah, man, No, these
are far These are far from my

452
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:17.320
tent. So I figured it's just
some kind of way of conversing with each

453
00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:22.239
other and some kind of communication that
they do if it's them. And like

454
00:37:22.360 --> 00:37:25.000
I said, I've heard this in
other areas too. I've captured it.

455
00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:30.239
I've captured that same exact sound in
other areas, so it makes me think

456
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:34.440
it could be sasquatched, But again, you don't you can't see what's making

457
00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:37.920
it, so it makes you wonder. But yeah, I'm glad you brought

458
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:40.559
that up because I didn't. I
didn't know about that. That's interesting.

459
00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:45.280
I've heard very many people tell me
about that. I've heard the same thing,

460
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:47.760
because I I haven't really heard that
before from other people, So that

461
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:52.000
you messed with me for for quite
a while, Tristan, still until I

462
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:59.159
heard in a few other interviews I
did with random people how they've experienced the

463
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:05.760
sasquatch unzipping a food container at their
camp and also a sasquatch on zipping a

464
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:10.119
tent that a female was in out
in the Pacific Northwest somewhere. But yours

465
00:38:10.239 --> 00:38:15.880
is different because it's obvious that it's
making the sound because it's not close to

466
00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:21.239
camp, which kind of makes me
interpret my story in a way too.

467
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:23.320
But it's just very interesting to think
about. So thank you for that.

468
00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:28.480
Yeah, Because yeah, I wondered
the same thing. Because the more you

469
00:38:28.559 --> 00:38:30.840
listen to it, and the more
that I've listened to it in other areas.

470
00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:34.920
I'm starting to wonever. Maybe it's
just not a mimic of some kind.

471
00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:38.760
Maybe it's some kind of communication that
they do amongst themselves. Definitely.

472
00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:43.119
I also have a record I don't
think I put it in the file's ipologies,

473
00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:47.000
But I also have a recording where
where there's a thing that comes up

474
00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:52.000
to recorder and it makes a really
loud h sound with its mouth. It

475
00:38:52.039 --> 00:38:55.039
sounds like it makes it with its
mouth, and then you hear it start

476
00:38:55.079 --> 00:38:59.800
talking, you hear it start talking
with something else. Well, it's just

477
00:39:00.280 --> 00:39:04.400
when you hear this weird wow like
wush sound it mixed with its mouth,

478
00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:07.519
and that is intense. So I
don't know what that's all about. It's

479
00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:12.760
pretty loud too. I guess I
should have put it in with the other

480
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:15.360
files, but I just have so
many that it's a lot. Like,

481
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:20.559
yeah, it's a lot, listeners, you just have to imagine the most

482
00:39:20.679 --> 00:39:24.599
bigfoot files you've ever seen. It's
a lot. Yeah. Well, and

483
00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:28.639
the thing is that I've been recording
since twenty fifteen. I've been going out

484
00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:30.239
there. Yeah, that's a good
point. That's why I have so many

485
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:35.079
files. And that's the thing too, Like I recommend people record all the

486
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:38.679
time as much as as much as
possible, because even when you're around like

487
00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:43.440
you won't even know. Even if
you can't hear anything in person, that

488
00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:47.760
doesn't mean the audio recorder won't capture
anything. That means it's true. I've

489
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:52.360
I've been able to capture things on
my audio recorders while they're in person,

490
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:55.079
and I just never heard it,
but you hear it on the recorder,

491
00:39:55.519 --> 00:40:01.199
so I can't explain it. Let's
let's play some more, some more sounds

492
00:40:01.199 --> 00:40:13.719
here, let's see what we got
up next. Sure that again, that

493
00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:19.519
was that rock camp behind on this
hill again behind our camp, And again

494
00:40:20.440 --> 00:40:22.719
we didn't hear that in person,
but on the recorder you can hear it.

495
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:25.480
But oh wow, well, as
you can tell, that was a

496
00:40:25.599 --> 00:40:29.800
weird language, right, that's weird, man. Then you hear the then

497
00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:32.599
you hear the knock afterward. I've
heard that many times. You hear that

498
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:36.239
many times where you hear like a
vocal and then a wood knock or vice

499
00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:40.360
versa. So do you think do
you think it's a wood knock or or

500
00:40:40.599 --> 00:40:44.400
maybe even a rock clack. It's
hard to tell. It could be a

501
00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:52.960
rock clack. Yeah, let's listen
again, it's a totally different language.

502
00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:57.239
Man. Yeah, I wouldn't be
able to make that sound like or come

503
00:40:57.320 --> 00:41:00.719
up with that sound. Well,
who does? It sounds like good native

504
00:41:00.760 --> 00:41:05.159
kind of a language. That's weird. Wow. And that's the other thing

505
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:07.039
too. I think a lot of
people think that the rawn mohead sounds are

506
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:12.880
gonna be everywhere you record, and
that's not the Like every every language you

507
00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:15.400
record is gonna be like moreheads,
and that's not the case here. I

508
00:41:15.480 --> 00:41:19.000
think if we're dealing with the Sasquatch, maybe it's a different type of Sasquatch

509
00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:22.639
or a different tribe of them that
they're not all going to have the samurai

510
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:25.559
chat or and things like that.
Could be just a different tribe with a

511
00:41:25.599 --> 00:41:31.880
different kind of language. That's fast. Yeah, all right, let's see

512
00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:52.039
what we gut here. Okay,
So that was recorded at California camp and

513
00:41:52.320 --> 00:41:57.199
I was around midnight and I was
up with another big corupt researcher and we

514
00:41:57.280 --> 00:42:00.119
were just talking at the fire and
all of a sudden, that thing just

515
00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:05.639
popped off behind us way in the
woods on our camp in the woods.

516
00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:09.880
It was pretty damn close. And
again like that, it was even louder

517
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:14.559
that was even louder in person.
But that thing just popped off right behind

518
00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:16.960
us and then that was it.
No, no other vocals or anything like

519
00:42:17.039 --> 00:42:21.639
that. I was for certain.
I was like, he's going to say

520
00:42:21.719 --> 00:42:24.079
that that was him, But no, that's a sound that you captured.

521
00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:27.880
And it sounds really close to your
camp too, Yeah, it does.

522
00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:30.960
It sounds like it was right in
the woods there probably watching us. Well.

523
00:42:31.599 --> 00:42:36.760
That came from where California camp is
more like a slope. It kind

524
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:39.000
of slopes up into another hill,
but you can actually camp up on this

525
00:42:39.159 --> 00:42:43.679
hill as well. But where we
were, where I was with this other

526
00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:46.599
big for researcher, we were at
this campfire towards the entrance of the camp

527
00:42:46.679 --> 00:42:50.920
and then this thing, whoever it
was, came from the hill up behind

528
00:42:51.039 --> 00:42:53.079
us, behind our camp in the
woods and it was, like I said,

529
00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:55.760
it was very close and very loud. So whatever it was was right

530
00:42:55.840 --> 00:43:00.679
there. And it has a really
like even Alex not on his shoe.

531
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:05.760
It's lung capacity is crazy and it
carries that sound carries too. Does it

532
00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:08.960
almost sound like it has a female
tone to it? Yes? Right,

533
00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:15.039
yes, or maybe a juvenile maybe
a female. Yeah, that's a good

534
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:16.719
point. Yeah, it's just it's
really weird. I'm gonna play it one

535
00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:35.639
more time. Well, that would
be man. There's no campers behind us

536
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:38.320
there, so I don't think I
personally don't think it was another camper.

537
00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:43.519
There's a road next to California Camp, but there was no as far as

538
00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:46.960
I remember, there's no campers around
us at that point. So and everybody

539
00:43:46.960 --> 00:43:50.840
else in our camp was asleep.
It was just me and this other bigger

540
00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:54.000
researcher at the campfire. Nothing just
popped off and only did it once.

541
00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:59.440
No other vocals were heard that night, but that was it. And he

542
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:01.400
he immediately said that's a big foot. As soon as he heard it,

543
00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:07.480
he said, he said, that's
a big foot. Absolutely, Yeah,

544
00:44:07.840 --> 00:44:12.239
that's funny. That really freaked me
out that I'll hear in that person because

545
00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:16.639
you don't expect that it just happens
out of nowhere. So yeah, I

546
00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:23.159
saved what I feel is my favorite
for last. If I had heard this,

547
00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:30.320
I would probably I don't know what
I would. I would probably been

548
00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:37.400
like, pack the bags because if
we stick around here, we're just gonna

549
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:40.400
get taken out. But I'll play
a little because it's a long clip,

550
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:45.360
but I'll play a few minutes of
it here and then I'll have you to

551
00:44:45.679 --> 00:45:39.719
talk about it. So okay,
okay, that went on for thirty minutes

552
00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:45.880
straight. Yeah, it's hard to
explain, but that's the only clip that

553
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:52.119
I almost had a feeling of.
I don't know if dread is too over.

554
00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:57.480
It just makes it affects you when
you hear it, and it's hard

555
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:00.440
for me to explain. And I
can't imagine hearing that real life. Dude.

556
00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:05.760
It was, like I said,
the recorder doesn't do it justice.

557
00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:09.519
It was incredibly loud. I have
you ever heard the Snowhole much recordings from

558
00:46:09.519 --> 00:46:15.079
the seventies before. There's some sounds
in those recordings that are stunds sound very

559
00:46:15.119 --> 00:46:22.639
similar to that. Again, I
forget who there was. I forget who

560
00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:25.960
the woman's name was, but she
was near a rock quarry and these were

561
00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:30.400
coming from a rock quarry in snow
how much Washington. I know I heard

562
00:46:30.519 --> 00:46:34.599
the name, but I can't think
of what they sound like. So I'm

563
00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:37.599
going to have to look that up
later. Yeah, I looked that up

564
00:46:37.679 --> 00:46:42.840
later. But there's some what's called
the whoop hoal And immediately as soon as

565
00:46:42.880 --> 00:46:45.840
I heard this in person, I
said, wow, that sounds just like

566
00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.400
the snow whole much stuff. Now, I'm not saying that's the snow ho

567
00:46:49.480 --> 00:46:52.679
Musch record now, I'm just saying
whatever that is sounds similar to that the

568
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:55.800
whoop howl. And like I said, when you hear that sound, it

569
00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:59.840
does sound like something dread, something
you had dread and run away from,

570
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:07.599
like a male. That's a male
yelling, possibly a male sesquatch. Do

571
00:47:07.679 --> 00:47:13.840
you think there were multiples in there
or just one. Yeah, Throughout the

572
00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:16.679
whole recording, you'll hear different types
of voices, possible female voices, maybe

573
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:21.960
juvenile voices. It's a whole chorus
of them. And they were coming from

574
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:23.679
different spots too. It was on
just one spot, it was like different

575
00:47:23.719 --> 00:47:30.400
spots from around the whole area there. And again this was at two o'clock

576
00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:34.440
in the morning, and it went
on for thirty minutes straight. There was

577
00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:37.400
no breaks in between. Basically,
So if it was a human doing this,

578
00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:40.760
why the hell would they be doing
that for thirty minutes And with that

579
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:47.000
kind of lung capacity and with that
many many individuals as well, And I've

580
00:47:47.079 --> 00:47:51.679
never heard I've never heard vocal.
I've never heard anything like that before.

581
00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:54.280
Besides that voopal stuff at the beginning. I've never heard the rest of the

582
00:47:54.360 --> 00:47:59.519
course stuff before. So again,
if it was humans, why are they

583
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:02.079
doing that two o'clock in the morning
for thirty minutes. I mean they didn't

584
00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:05.960
they didn't even stop. If there
are people called last day, they didn't

585
00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:08.719
stop for a response, They just
kept it just keeps going, which is

586
00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:13.320
that would be weird, right,
Yeah, there's no Yeah, that's a

587
00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:17.239
good point. Yeah, the chorus
stuff is weird because it's I've heard other

588
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:23.280
recordings that are similar to that from
the Pacific Northwest, like the chorus thing.

589
00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:29.280
Yeah, but like yours is very
unique as well. And man,

590
00:48:29.360 --> 00:48:32.159
so you you woke up at two
am and you heard that live Yeah,

591
00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:37.199
well that first call you, that
first thing woke me up because it's so

592
00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:39.320
freaking loud. Wow. Yeah,
when you hear that rack, when you

593
00:48:39.440 --> 00:48:43.920
hear that thing, man, like
that roar kind of sound like that wakes

594
00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:46.519
that woke me up all my sleep. Oh my god, goodness. And

595
00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:51.000
unfortunately my mother, my mother couldn't
hear that person. I get. That's

596
00:48:51.039 --> 00:48:52.320
why I have that, That's why
I had that sixty minute version one that

597
00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:54.800
I played on Alexis Show, because
I didn't want to have me and my

598
00:48:54.880 --> 00:48:59.679
mom talking while you hear that stuff
going on. So that's why I had

599
00:48:59.719 --> 00:49:02.800
the version of just the sounds.
I didn't want my voice and her voice

600
00:49:02.840 --> 00:49:07.400
in it. And there's been some
other Bigfoot research chargers. I'll just say

601
00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:10.039
Dave Ellis has gotten sounds from there
as well. That's kind of similar to

602
00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:16.360
that chorus sound. And I've actually
recorded himself. You're saying, yeah,

603
00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:20.840
he's recorded there before, and he's
gotten some sounds from there, And in

604
00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:25.360
fact, some friends of mine were
there last year got something kind of similar

605
00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:30.960
to that. In September, they
recorded something kind of similar to that a

606
00:49:30.000 --> 00:49:35.159
little bit weighs down from California.
It was further away from California, a

607
00:49:35.239 --> 00:49:38.079
California camp, but they recorded something
kind of similar to that. Wow,

608
00:49:38.360 --> 00:49:43.639
but again like thirty minutes, man, Like, why would anybody do that?

609
00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:46.480
For thirty minutes? They would blow
out their vocal cords. It was

610
00:49:46.519 --> 00:49:51.920
somebody something like that. Absolutely,
what time of year did that happen in?

611
00:49:52.599 --> 00:49:57.519
That was in July July twenty twenty, July seventeenth, so it was

612
00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:00.360
after obviously, it was after full
to July, so well obviously people,

613
00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:04.639
I mean that's the thing too.
Like this, people people do go to

614
00:50:04.719 --> 00:50:07.000
this lake and camp and stuff.
I mean there are people there around,

615
00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:12.519
but I I don't know. I
don't know if this as much are comfortable

616
00:50:12.599 --> 00:50:15.239
with that or not? I mean, why why would something so elusive be

617
00:50:15.320 --> 00:50:20.920
making that sounds like that? That's
that's what makes me wonder were they that

618
00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:23.039
Are they that comfortable to make those
kind of sounds? You know, and

619
00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:30.400
and for that wold you know,
being that wold too, So maybe it's

620
00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:34.440
much a're comfortable there? Yeah,
I mean we don't know. Have you

621
00:50:34.599 --> 00:50:39.159
had people analyze your your sound,
especially that clip there, like people like

622
00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:44.119
David Ellis, Yeah, Dave,
Dave Ellis and Chris Spencer and Manonga Hill

623
00:50:44.199 --> 00:50:49.599
have all looked at it. And
you know, Dave Els and Chris Spencer

624
00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:55.239
say, it's not it's where it
is comes from a living thing. It's

625
00:50:55.360 --> 00:50:59.239
not. It's not. Yeah,
they think it's from a living subject.

626
00:50:59.559 --> 00:51:04.239
And I guess Manonga Hill agrees with
that, but he he made he made

627
00:51:04.280 --> 00:51:07.519
the comment I wish the audio was
closer to the subjects. But I do

628
00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:15.519
too. But you know I could
help that, right, Yeah, good

629
00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:19.559
point. But they but they both
but they did say they think it comes

630
00:51:19.559 --> 00:51:24.079
from a natural you know source,
that it's not fabric and and for the

631
00:51:24.119 --> 00:51:27.960
work. And I'm not hoaxing anything
here, Like I'm just putting my recorder

632
00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:31.159
out there capturing sound. So I'm
not hoaxing anything. Yeah, I mean

633
00:51:31.280 --> 00:51:37.920
you're you're camping out and having a
recorder, doing some doing some wood knocks,

634
00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:42.119
doing some sounds yourselves at times.
I'm just putting my recorders out there

635
00:51:42.159 --> 00:51:46.440
and letting the broad just like other
researchers are doing. I'm doing nothing different.

636
00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:53.760
Really, I got a few questions
for you about about recording audio,

637
00:51:53.880 --> 00:52:00.960
and hopefully you know people can listeners
can can get some really sol advice from

638
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:07.199
this. So when it comes to
let's say you have someone they're going out

639
00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:12.360
in the field and it's their first
time where they're going to try to record

640
00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:20.119
audio right of a bigfoot, what
are the absolute what's the necessity the must

641
00:52:20.280 --> 00:52:27.519
know advice about recording audio out in
the wild. Well, for one thing

642
00:52:27.639 --> 00:52:31.039
is I keep my audio recorders in
plastic bags to keep from moisture and condensation.

643
00:52:31.199 --> 00:52:34.760
Obviously it rains a lot here in
the Pacific Northwest, so I try

644
00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:37.719
to keep them covered as much as
I can, and I put them on

645
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:40.039
bungee cords and I strap them the
trees and such and just let them run.

646
00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:45.920
And sometimes I'll put moss on them
to try to hide them and maybe

647
00:52:45.960 --> 00:52:47.400
put some different smells on it.
Because here's the thing, like I mentioned

648
00:52:47.440 --> 00:52:52.960
earlier, I've had bears grab my
recorders and to them the bits or carry

649
00:52:53.000 --> 00:52:55.920
them off somewhere. Right now,
I've lost recorders based on that. So

650
00:52:57.320 --> 00:53:00.880
I actually try to hide them with
moss and put some different sense on them,

651
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:04.239
so hopefully a bear won't sniff them
out. But I think a bear

652
00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:07.320
is gonna I think a bear is
attracted to the batteries. I've heard that

653
00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:09.960
before that there's something. I've heard
that as well. Yeah, that there's

654
00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:13.960
something that they're attracted to. So
just be aware of that, you know,

655
00:53:14.000 --> 00:53:17.280
if you put in a battery operated
operated device out there, or even

656
00:53:17.320 --> 00:53:21.440
game cameras. I think they've done
that with game cameras as well. And

657
00:53:22.119 --> 00:53:23.639
so going back to the recorders,
I mean, I just what I like

658
00:53:23.719 --> 00:53:28.079
to do is as I mentioned with
rock camp, I like to put them

659
00:53:28.159 --> 00:53:31.000
around. Say that you're at a
campsite, I like to go around the

660
00:53:31.079 --> 00:53:35.760
campsite, but not too close to
it, but just far enough to maybe

661
00:53:35.800 --> 00:53:38.000
where something can just watch you.
And I like to put you know,

662
00:53:38.559 --> 00:53:43.039
kind of put auto recorders in different
spots, say one part of the hill,

663
00:53:43.119 --> 00:53:46.199
on another part of the hill over
here, kind of surrounding the campsite,

664
00:53:46.239 --> 00:53:51.280
but not too close to it,
just in case you might get something

665
00:53:51.320 --> 00:53:53.400
coming in and watching, you know. I like to do that, And

666
00:53:53.559 --> 00:53:57.719
as far as me, you know, there's there's also times where I just

667
00:53:57.960 --> 00:54:00.599
go to a research area and I'll
just leave a record or out like on

668
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:04.880
a stump, high up on a
stump or on a or on a hill

669
00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:07.800
or something like that, kind of
high up, because I think the sasquatch

670
00:54:07.960 --> 00:54:13.119
like to be in high places,
so they may come up and they may

671
00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:15.639
come up and down a hill,
up and down a hill. So I

672
00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:20.199
try to keep them up high a
little bit just in case they might they

673
00:54:20.280 --> 00:54:22.719
might walk by it. Well,
you know, I'm really doing nothing special

674
00:54:22.760 --> 00:54:28.079
with these recorders. I'm just putting
them out on trees and such and making

675
00:54:28.119 --> 00:54:31.719
sure they're covered, and I try
to look for areas. I try to

676
00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:36.320
look for spots where there's water,
like a lake or something, and then

677
00:54:36.360 --> 00:54:39.039
maybe there's a ridge you can walk
up or something like a high high hill

678
00:54:39.119 --> 00:54:43.360
or eye spot where I think the
sasquatch might come up and down that hill

679
00:54:43.440 --> 00:54:45.760
to the water or to get maybe
if some kind of foods or it's like

680
00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:52.000
a deer or something. That's how
I think these guys are operating. So

681
00:54:52.880 --> 00:54:54.800
so going back to your camping,
if you have a hye spot behind you,

682
00:54:57.000 --> 00:55:00.119
possibility a sasquatch might be going up
and down that hill that mountain to

683
00:55:00.239 --> 00:55:06.280
watch you. So that's another thing
too. I like the idea of bringing

684
00:55:06.320 --> 00:55:09.559
them in as opposed to going out
after them. I think you might have

685
00:55:09.719 --> 00:55:14.440
more better luck and capture an audio
that way if you bring them in.

686
00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:22.280
What if your camp was on the
high spot. It's just a random thought.

687
00:55:22.760 --> 00:55:23.280
No, that's a good idea.
Yeah, if you can find a

688
00:55:23.320 --> 00:55:28.440
spot where you can camp up high
and maybe but I think the sasquatch like

689
00:55:28.519 --> 00:55:30.079
that kind of cover ide you know, they kind of like the idea of

690
00:55:30.159 --> 00:55:35.320
being able to have some cover,
right, and maybe they kind of they

691
00:55:35.440 --> 00:55:39.159
might strategically they might like to be
up high totch you. I'll just say

692
00:55:39.159 --> 00:55:44.119
I'll just quickly talk about a quick
thing that happened. I think essentially the

693
00:55:44.159 --> 00:55:46.239
audio of this too, But in
one of my research areas, maybe my

694
00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:50.679
mother put up a plot watcher in
this little goalie. It's kind of like

695
00:55:50.719 --> 00:55:53.760
a like as like a hill you
can climb up that overlooks like a little

696
00:55:53.800 --> 00:56:00.559
goalie. And I believe we I
believe I've seen some foot traffic near where

697
00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:04.079
we put this potlatcher on this tree, and up above us there's like a

698
00:56:04.199 --> 00:56:07.800
stump. This is thirty yards away. There's a stump. And one time

699
00:56:07.840 --> 00:56:10.679
I put a recorder up there,
running on top of the stump that's three

700
00:56:10.760 --> 00:56:15.719
yards away, up above us and
down below. My mother and I were

701
00:56:15.760 --> 00:56:21.559
putting up this plot launcher, and
then when I went home and listened to

702
00:56:21.639 --> 00:56:27.599
the recorder, I heard some possible
speech and chatter on the recorder as if

703
00:56:27.679 --> 00:56:30.719
possible sasquatch might come in and watch
us put up that plot watcher. And

704
00:56:31.039 --> 00:56:34.679
I have that. I put that
in your files. I think it's called

705
00:56:34.719 --> 00:56:38.079
bigfoot closer the recorder, but you
hear some voices talking to each other,

706
00:56:38.760 --> 00:56:42.119
and it's not me or my mom, So I don't know what the heck

707
00:56:42.199 --> 00:56:44.960
it is as well, But that's
the thing I think. I think in

708
00:56:45.079 --> 00:56:49.400
some instances the sasquatch might be watching
people put up game cameras and things like

709
00:56:49.519 --> 00:56:52.960
that, and they might be up
they might be up high too where you

710
00:56:52.000 --> 00:56:54.719
can't see them. So they might
be in a strategic place watching you.

711
00:56:57.360 --> 00:56:59.920
But I'm not saying that's always the
case, but I think in some cases

712
00:57:00.039 --> 00:57:02.880
maybe that's what's happening, and that's
maybe that's why people aren't getting things on

713
00:57:02.960 --> 00:57:12.039
their game cameras because they're being watched. Do you have a specific recorder model

714
00:57:12.199 --> 00:57:15.960
that you use, Yeah, I
would see if let's see if I can

715
00:57:15.079 --> 00:57:28.159
get it up. Well, kind
of a mess, but I'll just show

716
00:57:28.159 --> 00:57:37.199
you one of the I'll show you
one of my new ones. This is

717
00:57:37.239 --> 00:57:40.679
a Yeah, this is a this
is kind of expensive, but this is

718
00:57:40.719 --> 00:57:45.199
the kind of recorder that I use. It's like a it's a Sony PCM

719
00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:50.800
recorder PCM D ten. This is
one of my new recorders I've got and

720
00:57:52.639 --> 00:57:55.800
it has two microphones on top.
Okay, and it's it's pretty hefty,

721
00:57:57.679 --> 00:58:01.280
but it will this will record for
eight hours and what and like I said,

722
00:58:01.320 --> 00:58:05.320
what I do is I just put
it in a bag and I just

723
00:58:05.400 --> 00:58:07.920
put these on, put these on
a tree or something, have them sticking

724
00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:14.639
out towards forrest away from camp and
I just have them record overnight and yeah,

725
00:58:15.639 --> 00:58:17.519
yeah, that's it. There you
go, it's a whole night.

726
00:58:17.599 --> 00:58:22.639
Do you have to when you're setting
up a recorder for the first time to

727
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:25.599
use for bigfoot audio recording, do
you want to make sure that you do

728
00:58:25.760 --> 00:58:30.480
any specific settings a certain way or
well, that's the thing. I know

729
00:58:30.559 --> 00:58:34.800
there's some filter settings, noise filter
settings, but I actually don't even use

730
00:58:34.840 --> 00:58:38.400
those. I just I use A
I use a I use Adobe Audition for

731
00:58:38.559 --> 00:58:45.159
my audio audio editing, so I
just use that if I need to bring

732
00:58:45.239 --> 00:58:49.119
down the noise on something. But
no, honestly, I really I just

733
00:58:49.400 --> 00:58:52.920
I just make sure I set the
I set the parameters on this thing so

734
00:58:52.000 --> 00:58:54.760
it doesn't overpeak. Obviously you have
to set them. They have to set

735
00:58:55.119 --> 00:58:59.559
the speakers to a setting where it
doesn't go into the red all the time

736
00:58:59.599 --> 00:59:02.679
to see that's where that's where it
peaks. Get that real crappy audio.

737
00:59:04.039 --> 00:59:06.559
Other than that, man like,
I just let it run, and I

738
00:59:06.679 --> 00:59:08.960
let it run on normal play,
not on long play, because long play

739
00:59:09.039 --> 00:59:15.119
we'll give you really bad audio.
Just let it run normally and yeah,

740
00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:19.400
and recorders like this while we run
for eight hours because the batteries. It

741
00:59:19.519 --> 00:59:22.840
eats up batteries pretty quickly. There's
small recorders that I use actually record for

742
00:59:23.480 --> 00:59:27.320
at least a day or two,
like twenty four or forty eight hours,

743
00:59:27.599 --> 00:59:31.119
so I use those as well.
I don't always use these big guys.

744
00:59:31.519 --> 00:59:35.800
I like to use this big guy
when I'm camping out. I'm like I'm

745
00:59:35.800 --> 00:59:37.639
bumping, for example. But if
I'm just going to a research area,

746
00:59:37.679 --> 00:59:42.800
I'll leave out these little small digital
recorders and just leave them on trees for

747
00:59:42.840 --> 00:59:45.599
a few days or even a week
or even a couple of weeks, even

748
00:59:45.599 --> 00:59:49.039
if they run out batteries are just
after a week or two, I'll just

749
00:59:49.079 --> 00:59:52.679
go back and grab them and listen
to whatever a couple of nights that are

750
00:59:52.800 --> 00:59:55.360
on there. I got to say, though, definitely, if people are

751
00:59:55.400 --> 01:00:00.480
going to be doing audio recording,
try to get a parabolic dish because the

752
01:00:00.599 --> 01:00:04.719
voice quality is amazing on those things, and they'll they'll pick up things even

753
01:00:05.079 --> 01:00:10.400
even further away, and so I
and I I've had pretty decent success with

754
01:00:10.519 --> 01:00:14.920
that too, So I recommend people
try to get a that satellite a pair

755
01:00:14.960 --> 01:00:19.800
of bog dish to use when audio
recording, so you can use that with

756
01:00:19.920 --> 01:00:23.800
an audio recorder because I've when I've
seen that used it's for live monitoring,

757
01:00:24.159 --> 01:00:27.880
right, but you can use it
for recording. You're saying, oh,

758
01:00:27.960 --> 01:00:30.920
yeah, yeah, you can strap
a dish, a dish to a tree

759
01:00:30.960 --> 01:00:32.360
and you have it. You can
have it plugged into one of these guys.

760
01:00:32.960 --> 01:00:37.199
Wow, you just have a recording. Yep, that's what I've been

761
01:00:37.280 --> 01:00:39.960
doing. Man, I've been doing
that with this and and and uh and

762
01:00:40.159 --> 01:00:44.239
with a task cam. But that's
my other big recorder is called a task

763
01:00:44.320 --> 01:00:46.000
cam. Yeah. You can hook
them up to these things and they'll record

764
01:00:46.119 --> 01:00:52.239
whatever's on the you know, from
the dish that feeds much longer? How

765
01:00:52.320 --> 01:00:57.679
much longer do you think you're able
to go up out roughly with it parabolic

766
01:00:57.840 --> 01:01:01.199
attached to it? Well, that's
a well that's the thing. Way.

767
01:01:02.639 --> 01:01:06.199
The cord on the parabolic at least
the one that I have, doesn't go

768
01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:08.159
very far, so you have to
you have to keep these close together.

769
01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:14.039
But what I usually do is I'll
tie both of these to a tree like

770
01:01:14.119 --> 01:01:17.400
I'll have I'll have the parabolic dish
facing out on one side of the tree,

771
01:01:17.400 --> 01:01:20.960
and then I'll have this guy on
the back of it, and I'll

772
01:01:20.960 --> 01:01:23.599
bunge of court, both of them
together, and have them have this recording

773
01:01:23.800 --> 01:01:28.760
both of them. Sorry I said
that question not good at all. What

774
01:01:28.920 --> 01:01:31.719
I meant to say was, so, let's let's imagine with a regular recorder

775
01:01:31.800 --> 01:01:37.719
you're able to capture like a mile
out of sound. How much further out

776
01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:43.119
do you think you're able to capture
if you've got a parabolic mic in the

777
01:01:43.239 --> 01:01:46.880
mix? Yeah, I'm sorry,
I miss I'm totally misheard or misinterpreted.

778
01:01:47.119 --> 01:01:51.280
Maybe, well, I don't I
don't know if this will record a mile

779
01:01:51.440 --> 01:01:54.400
out maybe, but yeah, maybe
double that. I'm not the best with

780
01:01:54.480 --> 01:02:00.840
difference, man, but maybe double
that, especially depending on actually the how

781
01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:02.559
big the dishes, how big of
a dish is working, and how much

782
01:02:04.079 --> 01:02:10.360
sounding can funnel and pick up.
Got very interesting thing. I've used this

783
01:02:10.440 --> 01:02:14.280
before. This is like a forty
dollars one you can get on Amazon.

784
01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:19.599
Oh you can actually this is like
for birds. But you can actually take

785
01:02:19.639 --> 01:02:22.760
this out and record with it as
well. But the other dish I work

786
01:02:23.360 --> 01:02:27.320
that I have is bigger than this. But this is just a little small

787
01:02:27.400 --> 01:02:31.000
example of something you just have to
you have to click and the trigger for

788
01:02:31.239 --> 01:02:37.400
the record, but you can still
hear it's still captures pretty well, pretty

789
01:02:37.440 --> 01:02:45.320
good audio. Are you of the
mindset that do you start recording right when

790
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:50.320
you get to the camp site or
when do you usually start your recording?

791
01:02:51.679 --> 01:02:55.159
Well, when I'm camping, I
like to wait till it gets dark and

792
01:02:55.840 --> 01:02:59.960
I and a lot of times I
even I even try to put them out

793
01:03:00.159 --> 01:03:04.400
as it's getting dark, and I
that's the thing. I'll walk up the

794
01:03:04.480 --> 01:03:06.960
hill when it's dark out and I'll
just put a recorder up there with a

795
01:03:07.000 --> 01:03:09.079
flashlight or something with the headlamp or
flash light. I'll just go up on

796
01:03:09.079 --> 01:03:13.280
the hill and put a recorder out
even when it's dark. But I believe

797
01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:16.360
we get I get I believe we
get most activity during the night and as

798
01:03:16.400 --> 01:03:20.440
we're at the campfire. So I
like to put them out right right as

799
01:03:20.480 --> 01:03:23.000
we're going to the campfire for the
night, and I just let them run

800
01:03:23.559 --> 01:03:27.199
all night and then I go back
in the morning and pick them up.

801
01:03:27.559 --> 01:03:30.519
If I'm if I'm camping there,
I just pick them up in the morning.

802
01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:37.159
Have you ever considered doing a long
term field recording unit? And I

803
01:03:37.199 --> 01:03:40.199
don't know if you'd be able to
put it in the area out there.

804
01:03:40.840 --> 01:03:45.400
I've talked to Chris Spencer about units
like that before, right, Yeah,

805
01:03:45.519 --> 01:03:50.280
with Chris's unit there, Yeah,
I would love That's something I'd love to

806
01:03:50.360 --> 01:03:52.920
try. I don't have one,
but I would be interested in trying that

807
01:03:52.039 --> 01:03:55.800
out. But the other thing is
going through audio is a heck of a

808
01:03:55.920 --> 01:04:00.599
process. You have to seal,
you have to say there and listen to

809
01:04:00.679 --> 01:04:02.360
hours and hours of audio. So
that's why I kind of that's why it

810
01:04:02.519 --> 01:04:05.480
was some of my recordings. I
like to just go at night and then

811
01:04:05.559 --> 01:04:11.079
I can get through the night possibly. And obviously, if you have a

812
01:04:11.079 --> 01:04:14.920
spectrogram or a graph, you can
see these little spikes and hopefully you'll you

813
01:04:14.920 --> 01:04:16.119
can just zero in on that and
go, oh, that could be a

814
01:04:16.159 --> 01:04:23.360
possible sound. But there's there's been
sounds that the audio that the recorder picks

815
01:04:23.440 --> 01:04:26.400
up, but when you look at
them on a spectrograph, they're really low.

816
01:04:27.239 --> 01:04:30.000
They don't always show up as like
big spikes or anything. You actually

817
01:04:30.039 --> 01:04:32.440
you have to really listen for it, like little blips and things like that,

818
01:04:32.519 --> 01:04:36.679
because they're not always going to be
real loud. So that's another thing

819
01:04:36.679 --> 01:04:40.239
I want to bring up is that
if you're looking on a spectrograph, don't

820
01:04:40.239 --> 01:04:43.119
always look for the big waves,
because you've got to get stuff in between

821
01:04:43.199 --> 01:04:45.920
that, or even down below where
it gets kind of no where the noises

822
01:04:46.039 --> 01:04:49.960
too. You have to really look
for these little red these little orange bumps

823
01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:54.559
and things like that in between.
Oh. Interesting, there's others. There's

824
01:04:54.599 --> 01:04:58.800
some other sounds going on. Man, it's not always like these big wavelengths.

825
01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:04.320
So speech for example, okay,
okay, for like speech sounds I'm

826
01:05:04.320 --> 01:05:08.719
supposed to like cowls and stuff.
You get the little blips of things or

827
01:05:08.760 --> 01:05:11.800
like the zipper sound, that zipper
sound that we were going through earlier,

828
01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:15.320
those don't go like this. They're
like little little things on this spectrogram you

829
01:05:15.400 --> 01:05:19.000
got to look for. Yeah,
you could easily overlook that if you were

830
01:05:19.280 --> 01:05:25.679
just going by spectrogram, yeah yeah, or if you're not listening for it,

831
01:05:25.880 --> 01:05:28.760
you're just got you might overlook it
because you're not looking for the big

832
01:05:29.199 --> 01:05:34.639
big wait points on there. So
absolutely, Oh man, Tristan, this

833
01:05:34.760 --> 01:05:43.440
has been a very very interesting discussion. And thank you for sharing your audio

834
01:05:44.199 --> 01:05:47.159
with me and listeners. That was
cool. Oh yeah, man, yeah,

835
01:05:47.159 --> 01:05:51.280
you're welcome. Yeah yeah. I
recommend people just going out there and

836
01:05:51.360 --> 01:05:55.400
recording as much as they can if
they're going to be researching. That's all

837
01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:58.599
I can. I mean, that's
all I'm doing. I'm nobody special doing

838
01:05:58.679 --> 01:06:02.800
this. I'm just my audio recorders
out there and hopefully capture something. But

839
01:06:04.039 --> 01:06:08.239
you don't always do that. You
don't always get something on audio. So

840
01:06:10.880 --> 01:06:15.400
hopefully we'll be checking in with you
in the future. Who knows, who

841
01:06:15.480 --> 01:06:21.159
knows what will come out of bumping
like next it's especially maybe even if you

842
01:06:23.119 --> 01:06:26.920
camp up and on the hill,
We'll see if it happens or not.

843
01:06:27.119 --> 01:06:30.639
But you know that would be a
wild adventure. But were any last thoughts

844
01:06:30.760 --> 01:06:36.159
before we close out the night?
Well, just in general, like even

845
01:06:36.199 --> 01:06:40.159
what I mentioned in Tage's documentary,
when you go squatching, you're not always

846
01:06:40.199 --> 01:06:42.639
going to get you. You're not
always going to have something to happen.

847
01:06:43.159 --> 01:06:45.599
It's not like what you see on
the entertainment shows like Exhibedition, Bigfoot or

848
01:06:45.639 --> 01:06:48.559
something for example. You're not always
going to have something happen to you.

849
01:06:48.880 --> 01:06:54.480
So I just I just want people
to understand that. The reality is is

850
01:06:54.519 --> 01:06:58.039
that not a lot happens when you're
going out there. And I've had so

851
01:06:58.119 --> 01:07:00.559
many hours of recordings where I have
nothing on them, so it's not every

852
01:07:00.599 --> 01:07:03.280
time I go out there I get
something, but hey, if you're in

853
01:07:03.320 --> 01:07:06.440
the right spot, yeah, sure
maybe you'll get something. But don't always

854
01:07:06.440 --> 01:07:11.719
expect to get audio or anything,
or audio or all the kinds of evidence

855
01:07:11.760 --> 01:07:15.079
every time you go out squashing it, because that's really that's just the reality

856
01:07:15.159 --> 01:07:17.679
of it, in my opinion.
And so I just want people to know

857
01:07:17.840 --> 01:07:21.719
that the reality of bigfooting is that
now, a lot happens, and sometimes

858
01:07:21.760 --> 01:07:26.320
you get lucky. Sometimes you get
something, but it's not like what you

859
01:07:26.400 --> 01:07:32.000
see on TV exactly. And if
you don't. If you do go out

860
01:07:32.199 --> 01:07:36.119
and you don't get anything, stick
with it, try again, try again,

861
01:07:36.679 --> 01:07:42.400
and eventually you'll get lucky. How
can people Is there any ways that

862
01:07:42.599 --> 01:07:46.559
people can keep up to date with
what you're doing, Tristan or or contact

863
01:07:46.639 --> 01:07:49.360
you or anything like that, or
is it saying where you kind of keep

864
01:07:49.440 --> 01:07:54.719
under the radar. Yeah, Well, the thing is I don't post my

865
01:07:54.840 --> 01:07:58.000
stuff publicly. I mean, I'm
happy to share them like on podcasts,

866
01:07:58.079 --> 01:08:00.719
like with you or anybody, but
yeah, I don't. I have a

867
01:08:00.760 --> 01:08:05.159
YouTube page, but that's not dedicated
to Sasquatch. It's okay, more other

868
01:08:05.239 --> 01:08:08.920
stuff. But if people want to
reach me, they can go on Facebook,

869
01:08:08.920 --> 01:08:12.920
I'm on Tristan Yelton. They can
contact her, their message me there

870
