Bigfoot Evidence – Coast to Coast AM
I will be one of three guests on Wednesday October 7th, 2009  on
Coast to Coast AM with George Norry.Â
  
Footprints in Stone
Pieces of evidence sometimes are found at the most unexpected times. Such was the case a year ago when my wife found small footprints in Idaho.
Our youngest son Eli was married on the 3rd of October 2009. It was an outside ceremony at the gazebo in Washington Park in Springfield, Illinois. As my wife and I were slowly walking up the sidewalk towards the gazebo she said “Look, footprints.” Again, as a year ago my response in disbelief was “Sure, who are you kidding?â€
My wife said “Look!” And sure enough there in the sidewalk which had been poured many a year ago were a set of little inch long raccoon tracks.
What Is That? Right Behind That tree?
The food drop (image taken during the summer).
In March of 2007 I placed my recorder near my food drop. My hope was that some animal would vocalize as it approached and took food which I periodically left out. This is an area that sees almost no human intruders other than an occasional deer hunter. Being late winter there were no leaves on the trees and brush in the area. I tried to hide my recorder but it was impossible to hide it completely.
The following recording was at 03:35 a.m.

Those Double Arches.
As I have stated before I have little interest in stick structures or arches. But when I came upon this one I had to stop and take a second look. This is near my home here in Central Illinois. Several years ago I found a single footprint a couple of hundred feet from this location.

The final type of sound system is a standard car stereo amplifer with two external outdoor type speakers. The speakers have two heavy duty magnets attached so that they can be placed on the hood of my Jeep. This type of sound system is very good for putting out extremely loud calls. Best suited for the mountains when the distance that you are trying to reach is far away.
I have not used this system a lot, preferring the smaller portable units.
In summary – their are dozens of different setups and many variations of sound blasters. Most researchers have their favorite ways of doing things.
As far as responses, I have been very successful using sounds. A vocal response is not necessarily the criteria to judge how successful you are. When nighttime visitors come through your camp rattling door handles, slapping the tops of cars or checking things out that may have been a response to earlier sound blasting.
We are dealing with an animal of very high intelligence and it is always a guessing game as to what will interest them.
Acoustic Attraction – Pt. 4
If you are in a remote site and not sure if sasquatch frequent the area a very effective technique is to use an electonic bullhorn or megaphone. They are easy to use and lightweight.
I was taught this method by John Andrews of Washington State. You can listen to my interview in the field with John here: Washington – 48 in ’08. John’s wonderful recordings can be listened to at Sasquatch Research.net.
Recordings that I have obtained after using the megaphone include:

Squatchin’ Near Naches, WA
On the 15th and 16th of May, 2009 a group of researchers camped in the mountains west of Naches, Washington while attending the “Yakima Bigfoot Round-upâ€.
After a series of calls I recorded three return calls, the first sounded like the Tahoe Scream and the next two sounded like the Illinois Howl.

Most of the return calls I have heard have been from a great distance and when recorded were buried down in the white noise.
