Possible sasquatch vocalization?

[Deleted]

Possible sasquatch recording from British Columbia's Chehalis River area on February 1st, 2005.
Recorded on a Hi-8 video cam placed out side of house. Listen to it here:

Sounds like a lot of noise that could be attributed to thousands of different sources. I can't make anything solid out of it.

Sebastian our resident electronics guru at West Coast Sasquatch Research is working on a digitized, cleaned-up and tweaked version of the possible sasquatch vocalization recording that should be ready tonight some time.

We will post that version of the recording as soon as it's ready.

Until then everyone is stuck with a fourth generation re-recording of the original sound file.

Hi guys,

My initial analysis on the alleged sasquatch recording:

1. Each call sounds very similar (tune and length) but progressively varies (shorter) in length towards the later part of the recording. This could well be just a result of the lesser echo effect (as the sasquatch moved closer).
2. I found that each call peaks at 1KHz. The calls don't go below 330Hz (no bass). Each call also tapers off to a higher frequency at about 2.3KHz.
3. The intervals between each call are not constant.

cheers,

Is that good news or bad news, Sebastian?

[sebastian]

Good news!
Point 1. indicates that the subject was indeed moving.
Point2. I think that the frequency of the calls was limited by the reception capability of the microphone somewhat. Still, such a large animal as sasquatch, I would have thought that they would make sounds also contain lower frequency. Those recorded calls are like an opera singer with a higher pitch. Afterall I have 4 -gen copy.....it's very hard to say.
Point3. Can't be a tape playing in a loop.

a side note: imagine if the sasquatch was running fast and making such loud noise at the same time, what kind of a lung capacity are we talking about?

cheers,

Hi Bushman,
I was talking to a friend of mine at work. She was saying that she and her husband heard a series of sound like "Haiiiii, Haiiiiiii" last summer from their vacation cabin in Pemberton. she said that the vocals went on for almost 20 minutes. Her description of the sound reminds me of Clayton Mack's. I hope that she will log onto WCS soon.

Hi Sebastian,

Firstly, a big thank-you for taking the time to analyze the tape of the possible sasquatch vocalization. It is greatly appreciated.

I have a hunch that once the Harrison-Chehalis recording becomes a little more popular we will see a good number of ear-witnesses come forward saying that they have heard similar sounds while out in the wilds of British Columbia—and maybe many more places.

In fact, Grandcherokee e-mailed me yesterday and said he was told that someone we both know heard sounds almost exactly like the ones on the Harrison-Chehalis recording coming from something out of the bush up in the Birkenhead country.

P.S. Here's something of interest I received via a phone call yesterday morning from Kamloops:


Huge snowball possibly thrown by a Sasquatch


On Sunday, January 15, 2006, a young couple was travelling in a Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck along a heavily wooded section of highway between Valemont and Kamloops (closer to Valemont when incident took place) when a huge snowball (they estimated about one foot in diameter) flew with great force and speed across the road narrowly missing their windshield.

The young couple thought at first it was a snowy owl they had seen diving for some small prey alongside the road. However, they both stated what they saw flying through the air had no head, wings or feet.

The witnesses stated that the snowball they saw flying through the air in front of their truck was far too large for any human to have thrown with such force.

Sounds to me like sasquatch might like to have a little fun during the long, cold, boring British Columbian winters.

Ken I got a e-mail from Christina in deroche I asked her to listen to the recording and she states it is the same type cry she heard on Dec 21st of this year. She has now borrowed her sisters recorder and she plans to keep it at the ready by her window.

I like that....eventhough alleged sound is a weak evidence; there is a consistency.
I like to try to create a "controlled" group by recording sound-blasting (in remote area) and see if any specific background noise will show up (like dog barks, and trains, and even the frequency of statics from each already known recording).

I'm with you all the way on that one.
We really can't consider "any recording of any vocalization" as solid evidence unless someone sees the caller in the act and has it on film.

However, I still firmly believe the recording of the possible sasquatch vocalization might be used as a tool in our research, and may be at least one more small piece of the sasquatch puzzle now in its proper place.

I know of someone up in Terrace who recorded some vocalizations around 1977-80. He since died, and his might now have the tape(s) and plaster cast footprints. I can ask her for them if someone's interested.

Hi sh33p,

Please, please, please ask your contact in Terrace if she still has the tape(s) and/or the plaster cast(s) of the footprint(s). All of us at West Coast Sasquatch Research would be extremely interested in seeing, photographing or re-recording any form or type of possible sasquatch-related evidence you or anyone else may come across in their travels around beautiful British Columbia.

The other plus to Seb's findings is that it is very unlikely that the Chehalis Recording is that of something mechanical! That is interesting.
