Sasquatch Chronicles Blog

A listener writes ” In the spring of 1991, I was visitting a friend’s dairy farm in Hillsdale Michigan. It is a rural area with woods and farms. He was milking 65 head at the time and raising feed on several hundred acres.

It is worth noting that there is ample food in this area in silage piles, corn piles, and deer. In Michigan one is never more than one mile from fresh water. The only draw back to the area is hunters who are everywhere during opening day.

Unfortunately, one of his milkers died one afternoon. We dragged the carcass to a spot where he burned his trash and dropped it in a pit with some other burnable waste. There was not a lot of waste. We lit the waste and went away.

The next morning, I went out to check on the burn. And there was nothing there. No half burned carcass, no skin, no hoof, no bones… nothing. This always seemed odd to me. But my friend accepted it without question. It was not until I began listening to your show that I thought back on the situation. I began looking into it to satisfy my curiosity.

My research indicated that it took about 2 and a half days to burn a dead cow. So looking back I wonder what happened to that cow. The fire was far from blazing, so it did not burn to nothing. Then what could have happened? It was too large for coyotes to drag the 1500 pound mass away. So what happened to it? My guess is that sasquatch smelled the burning meat, pulled it out, carried it off and ate it. At the time I did not see any foot prints or drag marks, but I did not really look for them. I simply said “huh?” and went on to other things. My friend the dairy farmer has never indicated that he had any contact with a sasquatch and does not really engage on the topic.”
