Deer Mr. Steenburg. I know this is going to sound a bit odd since you have already put this investigation to bed, but, I know people who have “tin ears”. My brother in-law for example can’t discern the character between a trombone and a clarinet. Now, I’m not going to accuse you of anything here, I’m just stating a known fact. My question for you is; did you record the coyotes either on audio or video to later compare to the original recordings of the suspicious calls? If so, is there somewhere where I can listen to them to make my own assessment? If not, then why not?

Boy this one is sure in need of updating I was very surprised to find that the results of our follow up investigation is not mentioned here.
On April 5th, 2006 at 09;30 am Gerry Mathiews and myself discovered what was responsible for the vocalizations known as the Chehalis sounds. We witnessed a coyote making the calls. We think it is a rarely witnessed location call by coyotes.

Just as an update. I am one of the couple (and we are not elderly, mid 50′s)that contributed the vocalization of possible sasquatch. What was presented online was a copy that was put onto VHS and then recorded from the TV with a handheld tape recorder. We have just met with Ken Kristian and gave him the original tape that we found as we were getting our video camera ready for a trip we were taking. We thought we had taped over the original. They quality of it is much better that what is on the website now.

This isn’t anything new. Growing up as a kid in Hope (just east of Harrison), on the edge of the woods, we would sometimes get woken up by these screams late at night. They wouldn’t last long, and whatever it was it didn’t cross the highway into town. You have to remember there are many strange people living in the woods up there, and a lot of strange things happen.

One guy I remember in particular would walk out of the woods in spring screaming at the top of his lungs and he cut straight through town, only to go back as quickly as he came out before the cops came. Didn’t quite sound like the screams I’d hear at night, but it was just as powerful, it would echo through my part of town, and people would go running into their houses whenever they heard it.

There’s a lot of creepy stuff that goes on up there in the valley, but I don’t think it’s bigfoot.

I just signed up today (Preimar) but have been watching your site for some time…..I wanted to ask questions / comment on the Jan 22 article by John Kirk, “West Coast Sasquatch Announce First Recorded BC Sasquatch Vocalizations”…..
I was quite surprised to see Birkenhead Lake mentioned by John Kirk in the article and his camping excursion there in 2003. We have a cabin in that area and have been up there off and on for ther last 15 years or so. I was wondering if he was camping there for pleasure or was it because of reports in the area?……I was told by a local mushroom picker in October 2003, during a slow year, that the best place to pick was an area where local First Nations from Mount Currie had been spooked out by “something” a week earlier and he proceeded to call them something like ‘ crazy indians’ and mentioned a hairy beast of some sort and rolled his eyes as if he thought they were crazy……just wondering if it maybe was the same reason he was there (the reported sighting)???
Do you any of you guys plan another trip to the area and need someone to help out? I am very interested in this subject and would love to get involved in helping some ‘professionals’ out to possibly learn some more about the subject….I also have some other stories from the local area as well as a personal experience some years back, which I still cannot really explain.
I have not heard any ‘calls’per say in that area since I have been there that I could really atribute to sasquatch so I was quite curious about John’s experience (although I have heard lots of owl calls and coyote howling at various times of the year). If I read it correctly, he was probably camping at the provincial campsite on the north end. He mentioned that the call came from the west, which would mean it probably came out of Sockeye Creek valley, an area that has intrigued me since I started hiking the local area and it still gives me the creeps when I go up there……I have ventured into the valley on numerous occasions with others who feel strange when they are there as well…….I have been wanting to take a camping trip into the valley but I don’t want to go by myself and no one seems to want to go with me from my family. I have also taken some short excursions to the Fraser River area over by Lillooet looking into some old hunting stories of sightings I have seen on the internet…..anyways…….as you can see, this has sparked my interest and I would enjoy any response yourself or John could afford.
Thanks for your time,
Pat

What’s the deal with that photo? Is that guy for real saying that’s a cast he made?

That looks exactly like the Wallace footprint casts.

That recording is so clipped that it is useless for research purposes. Possibly they’ve tried to normalize the file and went too far. If there is a better, raw, version of that file it should be posted. As it is, that file can’t be used.

I suspect they’ve downsampled also, since it’s running at 8KHz. That’s way too low for good sound, but the clipping is the main trouble.

If you listen very closely to the tape, don’t lean in toward your speaker, you can hear the dog barking. I think it is a terrier type dog, something small. And if you listen to the whole recording, some of the whoop-like calls are longer, and some are short, while some sound louder (closer?) others sound a bit farther off-perhaps the creature was walking around, coming closer and moving away again? All I know is if I heard that noise I’d definitly be trying to record it so I didn’t think I was nuts!

What the heck was all that?

I went to the WCS website and listened to the recording and read the comments. I didn’t hear no dog barking in the house and I don’t think I heard a Bigfoot. What I did hear sounded like an alley cat at night recorded with a lot of static.
