A listener writes “Early this morning (Friday, November 21), my husband and I were at our deer camp in southeastern Georgia, not far from Folkston. Around 4:30 a.m., I stepped outside to my truck when I heard a long, drawn-out howl in the distance.
At first I assumed it was a dog, but I stopped and listened something about it sounded different. It was longer, deeper, and unlike anything I’m used to hearing out there. I pulled out my phone and recorded several clips. The clearest one came from the north, which I’m attaching. Another call, much farther off to the south, sounded very similar, but that recording didn’t turn out well because it was more distant and the nearby dogs had started barking.
Also, just last month, CSX Railroad supposedly captured two images of a Sasquatch crossing the tracks near Folkston, about 25 minutes south of here.”
Take a listen, what do you think?
Listen: Howl From Georgia
Not far from where this recording was made lies the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, one of the largest and most untouched wild areas in the southeastern United States. Stretching across southern Georgia and into northern Florida, the refuge protects much of the Okefenokee Swamp—a vast, peat-filled wetland often called the “land of trembling earth.”
The area has long been associated with reports of Sasquatch, or as many locals call it, the Skunk Ape. One of the earliest documented encounters dates back to 1829, describing a so-called “wild man” in the Okefenokee Swamp who reportedly attacked a group of hunters.
Key Features of the Okefenokee
Size: Approximately 680 square miles (over 400,000 acres)
Landscape: A mix of open prairies, blackwater channels, cypress forests, pine uplands, and floating peat mats
Origin: Formed over thousands of years as peat accumulated within a shallow sandstone basin

Yep., thats a swamp ape.
That whole area is old family land. Family owned it before it was taken for a national park/wildlife refuge.
We have a family plot on billie island. I’ve been followed there and had things thrown at me.
Have several relatives working in the park, Rangers and maintenance. My cousin is a ranger, last time I was there ( on the island) he asked mme what I thought about the benches they installed along the trail, I said I didn’t see any benches, he said yeah I know every time we rebuild them the next day they are smashed to splinters and laughed. He has seen them in there five separate times.
If I visit I can just go in and they will give me a Jon boat to go out in the swamp with if I am going out to the island to the family plot.
It is a really neat place the old family sawmill is also on Billie Island, they used to cut the Cyprus bring them in there and make posts and boards for building all around the area. My family settled in the area around 1725.

This is a better recording than most. It does seem to have a lot of force imbedded in that howl. As for the CMX incident it seems the BFRO just made a pretty good and recent report about this with rock throwing and seeing at least on Bigfoot.

Also this is not far from Kings Bay Naval submarine base north of Jacksonville. Wes had a guest on maybe 3 or 4 years ago that was sent out to shoot a supposed bear that had people in that area worried. The sniper did shoot the subject in the interview, but it was not a bear.
