A listener writes “I’ve listened for a while now and have been very hesitant to write in, but, as I went through the archives and listened to several episodes in a row that talked about the “laughing” that people heard, I don’t feel as silly telling my brief story.

Roughly 30 years ago, my father and I were deer hunting near Maytown, KY in Wolfe county. The area that we were hunting was directly across the hill from where we lived, and in a holler. At the head of the holler was a large pond and we were sitting at the base of the dam of the pond in a tree line. As we sat there, we hadn’t seen anything other than watching a skunk through binoculars.

As it was getting dark, from somewhere behind us in the woods, we both heard something that we can only describe as “laughing.” We both looked at each other and I asked my dad what that was. He said he had no clue, but we immediately got up and walked out to where we were parked (you would have to see the layout of the geography of the area to understand why we drove in from the opposite side of the hill).

For some reason, we never spoke of this incident again until about 10 years ago, and even then we both had no clue about what it could be. Even though I have been fascinated with bigfoot/sasquatch ever since I was a kid, at that time, I had no clue that bigfoot had ever been sighted in KY as that was pre-internet. Unfortunately, my dad passed away in May of last year, before I ever heard the “laugh/chatter” on your intro, so I wasn’t able to get his opinion on a comparison of what we heard.

That is basically the closest thing that I’ve had to an encounter, but, it still altered me in a sense, as every time I ever entered the woods after that, it always ran through the back of my mind.”
