The beginning of that audio is for sure coyotes. I’ve heard and seen packs of them making those exact type of noises. I believe you have sasquatches around, but audio is so inconclusive as a form of proof, I can record any wild place at night and you’ll hear a plethora of crazy noises. I’ve heard birds in costa rica that sound like bells, and there are birds of paradise that can mimic the sound of a village or a human, it’s insane. Nothing paranormal required, we have so many bird species in the USA as well as foxes, bobcats etc, and an innumerable variety of weird night noises made by all those creatures. I haven’t seen a sasquatch, but if they’re hominids then i’m sure they can also imitate a lot of them. Just think about all the crazy shit that we do
If you were new to this planet and had a tribe of humans around, you’d think it was pretty insane too. We do stuff that’s unbelievable even to us, walk around staring into weird screens, play instruments, put on plays, shoot fire sticks and fireworks and rockets etc etc. If sasquatch is real, they’ve had the same amount of time to evolve and develop their own talents. Dolphins do all sorts of crazy stuff, and can read your insides with sonar. Dogs can smell cancer. It’s not weird or paranormal at all that these guys would have complex behavior and abilities. As a side-note, the film is actually pretty funny at times, and well made, but I think it does serve as another unintentional means to bury any real efforts into figuring this mystery out. Like if I was a wildlife biologist and watched things like this, I’d be super embarrassed to have any interest in the topic….
Interesting…
Bear mountain on the CT/NY border? Or a different one? Because the howl I heard recently was up next to the Bear mountain that I know here. And that’s a crazy story. I guess it could have been a bear, but sounds like a pretty intense thing for a bear to do. I’ve seen black bear eating deer, and they’re definitely strong enough to rip a leg out with their mouth, but I’m not sure they would tear it out and leave it in the trail so quickly like that.Yeah, central CT and MA has a lot of sightings. I heard an ohio howl type sound up in the taconic recently.
Thanks gals! Colleen I would love to hear about your encounter, did you do a podcast? Where upstate? All the best

Hi toomuch
Yeah I was more saying that it would be very rare for someone up here to be imitating sasquatch noises. It’s just not in the culture enough, and this location is very remote. And yeah, it was intense, but tbh the intensity was diluted by how much was going on around me, people walking, their music, paying attention to my friend and dog etc. It was only when we let the others pass and stopped to really listen that we got a hold on what we were hearing. I think so many people must hear or walk right by bigfeet and never notice it cause it’s not in your vocabulary.I also heard wood knocks and owl hoots yesterday near there, but i’m pretty sure they were actual owls. If you’re in the area let me know, I’ll take you up there. My friends are too chickenshit to hike off-trail with me. Winter is good cause there aren’t any ticks or rattlers, and the visibility is good. We’ve had mostly sunny days too.
And yeah Ithaca has some woods and farmalnd for sure, but where I was is MUCH more wilderness-y. I’m in a corridor of mountains that starts in canada and connects to appalachia, and we have black bear, moose, and even cougars. That’s much more rare around Ithaca. If bigfoot exists in the northeast, then this is where they would be.
Esther are you in the northeast? Have you had an encounter? And yeah, if they exist, which is a big if for me still (though my experiences in Tibet sway me in the direction of the believer camp), this would be a good area for them. There are tons of wilderness corridors and the adirondack park is massive.
Your entire argument needs fact checking knobby. Pretty much every “fact” or study you cite has been widely discredited by the scientific community at large.
The covid vaccines are MRNA vaccines, which have been developed and tested for many things over decades, it’s not new or experimental science. And like my dad, who is a doctor, will point out, the risk of getting very sick or dying from covid is much higher than the tiny tiny tiny risk you have of being affected by a vaccine. Every vaccine, new or old, carries a very small risk of complications. Covid carries a very great risk of injuring or killing you. I have several dead family members that could attest to that, and several friends who still cant smell or taste etc after months. The FDA are not perfect, but they are not morons and they’re not out to kill or injure people, even though they’re an imperfect institution. The most politicized faction of vaccine opinion is coming from the right-wing, which has abandoned science and rationality on many many fronts. And I didn’t say religious people or right wingers were stupid. I said there’s a lack of science and ethics education going on there, it’s very different. I’ve lived in a lot of red states and i can accept differences in ideology and experience. But a few videos from misinformed nurses or quack doctors does not equal a scientific consensus, and the scientific consensus around the world is very clear cut. these vaccines have proven to be safe and very effective, and will get more effective as they are engineered to fight new variants. There’s nothing very experimental about any of them, which is why they were approved. The science behind MRNA vaccines is part of a process of testing and discovery that started a long time ago. Everyone has a right to do what they want with their own bodies, i’m simply stating that not getting a vaccine is a decision that’s not based on good data or solid critical thinking. Does putting on my seatbelt include the risk of getting strangled by it somehow? Sure, but it’s still a much better call than the risk of getting into a crash without one. This is basic logic folks. I can also pull up a whole slew of videos of people who railed against the vaccines and are dying in the hospital regretting their actions. Only conspiracy theorists base their actions and opinions on a small set of biased data like targeted youtube videos made by the small percentage of doctors in the country who are dumbasses.
Also people around here don’t talk about sasquatch much.It’s not really a thing in the northeast. My friend and I are anomalies, you don’t see people in the woods squatching or making noises etc. It’s all pretty laced-up types or AT trail hikers. Especially where we were at. The likelihood that it was some dude with a giant voice howling and moaning two miles or so into the forest is possible i guess, but unlikely i think.
The other hikers were too busy talking and listening to music on a little speaker, which we were set back from enough to hear over it. That’s why it took a few minutes for my friend and I to slow down and really realize what we were hearing, but it went on for a few minutes. I’ve been listening to this podcast a lot so for the first few minutes i was kinda just chuckling about it and focusing on walking, and because it sounded so much like the ohio howl, i was thinking “ive been listening to SC too much”, but when my friend stopped me and we really listened, we were pretty positive it was a)very weird and b) not likely other people. it was a very haunting noise. We saw the three groups that were parked at the trailhead today at that time, and none of them were going where the sound was coming from. Very unlikely it was other people, it was off into a part of the mountain where there are no trails, and there’s no way anyone could make that sound so loudly, plus would just be super weird. maybe a moose? The only other thing I think it could be is a bear, but haven’t really heard a bear noise that’s quite like that online or in the wild, especially that loud. Maybe these ohio howls are all bears or coyotes, but it sounded exactly the same as the ones that ive heard on the podcast. This is one of the most remote and vast forests in the state, and connects to state forests all the way up to vermont. One of the most biodiverse spots in the region and has tons of bears.
The issue is that most people can’t put politics aside, because their lack of education in science and critical thinking, largely driven by a religion-based education (which can barely be called education at all) makes them fall pray to abuse by institutions. Most people don’t have learning, and on top of it political figures weaponize the politics and use their constituencies’ health as a pawn. Vaccines work. They prevented lots of deaths from nastier strains of covid, and they are still preventing hospitalization and death. I got omicron with two vaccines, but hadn’t had my booster. My parents had the booster and were exposed to me and still didn’t get covid. So grateful for that. The fact that people are still getting infected doesn’t mean they don’t work, it means they worked to keep me healthy that long, and then the virus mutated. Just like with the flu, the vaccine must be updated regularly. Science is a process, not a “belief”. My case was mild, and I can’t even imagine how I would have felt if I didn’t have some immunity. I hope Wes gets better, and I fear he might not have been vaccinated. I lost a couple of family members to covid pre-vaccine. As we destroy the environment and encroach on habitat, we’re opening ourselves up to new diseases, and mark my words, there are nastier ones coming soon. It’s the same with sasquatches, we are taking over their habitat, logging, developing land, and changing ecosystems with out of control climate change, and so we’re coming into contact with them more. I bet they get covid too, my dog had it mildly.
