Sighting Text:
* After having lived in the great state of Alaska for ten years, and never seeing a forest Wildman, I was totally amazed at actually seeing an alleged Sasquatch here, in Ohio where I was born. Although, at a distance of about 150 to 200 yards, I am absolutely sure the individual was not a human figure. It's enormous size would dispute any thought I had, at it being human. Also, at that time of day, which was about 4:30 to 5:00 PM, it didn't make any sense to me that a person would be ENTERING the woods, as it was growing increasingly darker outside. This sighting, occurred in 1988, while I was at the wheel of my produce delivery truck. This particular individual was moving at a rather rapid pace, faster than any man I had ever seen walking or even running, for that matter, in the woods. It's gait was fluid and it seemed to have no trouble whatsoever, navigating through the leafless scrub and briar bushes, that inhabit much of this section of Southeast Ohio. It was moving so fast, that by the time I got my truck stopped, it was already out of my view. In 1993, I and my research assistant, decided to go camping in the area in which I made the sighting in 1988. Unfortunately, the land was privately owned, so access was denied. However, I did find a camp site about a mile from that spot, and settled in to observe all that I could for a couple of days. On the second night out, I had noticed it had become oddly quiet, unlike the previous night's chorus of tree frogs, crickets, and night birds. I had been reading a book called, oddly enough, "The Joy of Camping", and as my eyes were growing increasingly tired, I and my assistant decided to turn in. Our fire was just a mass of glowing embers, so making sure it wouldn't spread out, we said good-night. It was not long afterwards, that we started hearing what sounded like a warbling bird. It was like a fluttering whistle, coming from below and above the tent. This lasted for some time, probably about 45 minutes. About this time, the sound of a very large tree branch snapping, alerted us to the area above us. Quietly, we listened for any other sounds, then out of a clear dark sky, came a howl/scream that could have awakened the dead for miles around us. It really shook me to my very breadth. It sounded like an air-raid siren, that is from low to high, very high, emanating only a few yards from the back of the tent. Just after that, the sounds of barking, crazy, dogs jolted us into an eerie awareness. We listened for a while, then the sounds of the tree frogs, crickets, and night birds, started coming back into an audible existence. Waking early the next morning, it was off to do some scouting of the area in which we heard the howl/scream. On a hillside, at a measured distance of 35 feet, my assistant found what we both took as a five toed footprint on dirt in which leaves had been kicked aside. I took measurements, and were found to be: 13 1/2 inches long, 5 1/2 inches across the ball, and 4 1/2 inches across the heel. I did make a plaster cast of it, although in my inexperience, I had mixed it too thickly, and just three toes and the heel really came out well. However, I did take photographs of the print and it does show the toes and print very nicely. Nothing else happened the rest of our time out that week. In retrospect, I thought that maybe a couple of things that I had done, drew the creature to us. One, was playing my harmonica, along with my guitar. Another, was breaking large branches of wood across a tree stump. I was just breaking them up for firewood. I may have unintentionally signaled to this creature. Maybe, it was the smell of fresh coffee, which was a constant in our camp. It could have been one or all of these things that drew it's attention. In 1994, I decided to take a trip to that very same spot. It was Labor Day. I was going to have two days off, in a row, so off I went. I had worked about 17 hours driving my truck that day, and had driven the 90 or so miles to the camp site. With me was two tape recorders, something I didn't have with me in 1993. After arriving at my destination, I put the recorders, with brand new tape, and batteries, over each of my front tires on the hood of my van. Equipped with Auto Voice Controls, I turned them on and proceeded to climb into my sleeping bag which was in the Conversion Vans bed. After such a long day and drive, I fell asleep almost instantly. My research partner, knew I would be there, and was told to meet me after work. At around Midnight, my partner arrived and woke me up. I then went to gather the tape recorders, because while I was asleep, a heavy, wet, fog had come in. As I reached for the recorders, I noticed that they were now both in the middle of the van hood. Not where I had placed them at 9:30 that evening. Did my partner move them? "No" was the reply. As we entered the van, it was observed, my AAA compass was spinning wildly in circles, on it's own. We watched it in amazement for what seemed like about ten minutes. All of a sudden it came to a complete stop. On it's own. The next morning, I rewound the tapes to have a listen. There on both tapes, came a voice of unknown origin and of an unknown language. No one, who has listened to the tape, can decipher it. Later, I had it analyzed at Kent State (Ohio) University, Speech Path Audiology Department. Professor Richard Klich examined it. His findings were thus: The subject, as he called it, was speaking in a range, that would make it a tenor. The subjects vocal tract was determined to be 17 centimeters long, which would put the subjects height at about slightly less than 6 feet. Also, he termed the recorded subject as being "Spontaneously recorded", meaning the subject that imprinted the tape, would have had to have been standing directly in front of the tape recorders. I have pondered this recording for some years now, and I believe this about the maker of the tape recording. 1. I believe the subject to be a young Sasquatch, that is, not a fully mature specimen. My reasoning for this, is the uncharacteristically high pitched voice of the subject. It is not like some of the loud, booming recordings I have heard on other recordings from around the country. 2. On a micro-cassette tape, with the same speech sounds, it is clearly evident, the creature(subject) picked up the recorder and began sniffing and growling into it. In doing so, it played with the buttons, but luckily, didn't turn it off. 3. This area, as reported to me by Jim Davis, has been known over some 20 years or more to have a lot of eerie screams, noises, and sightings. It is prime Bigfoot country. There is one thing about this incident that puzzles me, however. It is the compass. I can not explain this phenomenon. What could have caused it to spin on it's own like that? I don't have a clue, do you?

* Bigfoot rapping question Date: 10/23/00 Tim Roche.Jean@wanadoo.fr (Jean Roche) The most striking report of rapping, at my knowledge, is in : http://www.BFRO.net/GDB/CNTS/OH/SK/oh_sk002.htm I have copied the interesting part of Moneymaker's text (curiously hidden in the site) below. By me the raps described here can even be likely translated: Bigfoot 1 (rapping) : "I am at the right place to chase the deer towards you. Are you ready ?" Bigfoot 2 (rapping) : "I am (or we are) ready. Go! And that needs preliminary concert... has anyone another explanation ? Moneymaker's text (border of Stark and Carroll Counties, OH, November 1992): "From that day forward the residents of the nearby house were more observant of the surrounding fields and tree lines. A few days after the bow hunter's incident, the bow hunter's [the bow hunter had seen a Bigfoot trying to approach deer some days before JR] friend, Mike, while sitting in his kitchen, noticed the entire deer herd grazing close to the house. He sat at a table and watched the herd through the kitchen window for some time. As the deer grazed quietly the owner heard a knocking sound coming from a wooded hillside overlooking the field with the deer. The knocking sound, which sounded like a piece of wood being hit against a tree trunk, was answered a moment later by a similar knocking sound coming from a wooded slope closer to his house. A moment after that, from the first hill, came a short, loud, growling roar. In response, the deer herd bolted in panic toward the closer tree line -- at the base of the slope where the answering knock came from. "The following day Mike decided to take a walk in the woods with his dog. He hiked up the nearby slope to a gated dirt road leading to a watertank back in the woods. Walking along that drive he found a couple of manlike footprints, 14" x 6", very clearly imprinted in the mud on the edge of the road. He continued up the road to the water tank with his dog. Up at the tank his dog wandered into the trees and Mike followed. The dog led him to, what appeared to be, the recently killed carcass of a young deer. Mike continued to look around and found two more young deer carcasses. On each of the deer at least one of the legs were broken. These fractures were very noticeable as the limbs were violently twisted and contorted. The semi-frozen carcasses were otherwise basically intact (they had been nibbled on by small animals), there were no bullet or bolt wounds, and there was no other major trauma except for around the belly, which had been ripped open. The deer's intestines were still attached but had been pulled out of the belly and left in a pile along side the belly. "Over the next few days the owner, his wife, and other neighbors also noticed these same inexplicable knocking sounds emanating from the woods at various times of day and night. Within a week the neighbors noticed that deer herd had apparently moved out of the area. This coincided with a cessation of the knocking sounds." Jean Roche http://perso.wanadoo.fr/daruc

He told me that in 1994 in SE Ohio hills he had come across a tree with Bigfoot tracks all over the place. Lying across a limb, like at a county fair shooting gallery, were ground hogs, squirrels, coons and opossums. There were no bones on the ground and no hawks or buzzards flying overhead.

Our last field trip was to Birds Run, where a Bigfoot was been last Aug. 11th running across the road, and up a gas pipeline right-of-way.
