Trace Unknown 

by Barbara Ann Campbell

Bigfoot, an unknown species of animal, would be able to survive in the same environment, living off the same food sources as known species in the target area.

The animal's activities would bare striking resemblance to the grizzly bear, black bear, cougar, wolves, ungulates and porcupine. Perhaps that would explain some of how it has managed to have eluded our attention.

Inside, Barb has compiled an extensive profile on Bigfoot and shares her discoveries of the first year of operations. This book is reference material for the serious Bigfoot field researcher. Campbell is a former UFO and paranormal researcher.

She has also served as a forensic investigator of unexplained animal deaths (UAD), aka animal mutilation cases, and has appeared on Cattle Killers episode of MonsterQuest.

Bigfoot Keeps Showing Up On A Ladies Property In East Texas (Brian Vike Interviews Elaine - Audio Interview/Written Report)

From Brian Vike's UFO Files.

I've had a few strange encounters since we moved back to East Texas, not with UFOs, but with Bigfoot. He was here when we moved in the house I bought.

It's located between two forests and a gravel pit near by. A lot of weird things were happening, noises, bumps, tin beating on barn, etc. Then one night my son and I heard a noise I can't explain, we jumped up, got the big flash light, and along with the dog we ran out back, it was about 1:30 a.m. My son shinned the light above the tall grass. This was September 17, 2007.

We didn't see anything so Sierra and the German Shepherd walked around to the front where his truck was parked. I stayed in the back alone, leaning up against my Ford Ranger looking toward the north.

At about that time, I could see something light in color rising up out of the tall grass behind a dead tree limb lying on the ground about 10 feet from me.

This thing rose up, up, up and kept rising. I began talking to myself and rubbing my eyes. The creature must have been over 8 feet tall and maybe 3 feet wide. It really surprised me.

I know it was a Bigfoot, but the whitish color threw me off. He stood there about 7 or 8 seconds looking at me. I couldn't say a word, I was so scared. Then he turned and ran away in a northerly direction.

The horses in the pasture started acting up and the dogs at the neighbors began barking. I tried to feed him, and I bought a security camera, but I've never gotten any pictures.

I covered some of the windows in the living room and one night I heard him growl after I covered the window.

By the paths around the grass and bushes, I think he was looking in the window at me. My son heard him growl outside the bedroom window and I heard him growl outside the bathroom window.

Last week, the dog outside barked and ran scared, I got the flash light and shinned it across the street in front of the house. I saw his eyeballs looking at me for a few seconds then he slowly lowered himself behind the large round bales of hay.

I also know where he lives, I hiked into the woods and say several piles of human like feces, with persimmon seeds and animal hair resembling my gray cat that mysteriously disappeared.

You know Brian, you may not believe me, but it's kind of strange having a creature wandering around your place every night.

Hope all is well. Sincerely.

Thank you to the eyewitness to this ongoing sighting of the creature.

Sasquatch/Bigfoot Or Something Else Scares River Valley Explorer In Edmonton Alberta

Date:  Weekend of the 13th – 14th, 2014
Time:  Daylight sighting.

Hi my name is (name removed) I am a very avid River Valley explorer in Edmonton. I spend on average 30 hours a week hiking the ravines off trail River Valley spots and the very remote areas.

I was in Sheriff Patterson ravine, deep off the trail just quietly walking and taking pictures when I heard a loud noise in the trees on the opposite side of the ravine.

It scared me, so I crouched down to let it pass. When I crouched down it seemed to stop moving as well. That is when it really started to scare me, so I stayed very still.

I waited about a minute and then it ran through the trees very quickly and was outta sight. At first, I thought it was a deer because of its size and colour, but when it ran by it clearly was not a deer, it was larger and moved nothing like a deer, wolf , or bear.

It moved almost like a human, but a lot faster. I was then scared, absolutely shitless and briefly went to check for tracks, finding no animal paw prints, my fear reached a staggering level.

I hightailed it out of the ravine and back to my car sweating, panting trying to figure out what I had just saw. I don't know what it was, but I think it deserves further more investigation.

I went back the next day and looked for tracks again, but all I found was broken trees and trampled bush and grass. This happened last weekend and I have been bothered by it since.

I have not went back to this spot in particular, but I want to. That same day I found a den sort of shelter made of rocks piled up, not your typical shelter a human would make.

I think it's living there and it scares the crap out of me to go back, but curiosity eventually will get the best of me. I need some help with this one.

If anyone has witnessed the lights/objects, please send me an email with details of what you saw. Please remember to include the date and time and location. (Town/City – State or Province) and as much detail as possible.

Two Sasquatch/Bigfoot Threatens And Frightens Two Hunters In Northern British Columbia (Audio)

(From Brian Vike’s UFO Files) Re-posted by Mel.

Here is another one of Brian Vike’s audio interviews he did some time ago. This clip was never released. This sighting took place somewhere between Prince Rupert and Terrace, B.C.

There was mention of video of the guys talking about the sighting, and a photo of a print, Brian never did receive any of these things.

Also there was about another 20 minutes in the interview, but it was just covering the same stuff. There was some editing done, only to take out some of the colorful language.

Possible Bigfoot Noise Heard Twice In Southern Illinois

 

Date:  October 2011 and December 2011

Time:  Between 1:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. and around 10:00 p.m.

 

My wife first heard the whoop whoop noise in October in Southern Illinois. between 1:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. in the morning with some type of growl.

 

Very weird I have hunted all my life and never heard this. Heard this noise again in December 2011 around 10:00 p.m. at night and answered it with the same whoop noise.

 

It responded back one time and I cannot understand what it was. Almost sounded ape like?

Possible Bigfoot Sounds In Upstate New York ?

 

Date:  February 12, 2012

Time:  Approx: 10:00 p.m.

 

I live in upstate NY, and tonight (02/12/12) around 10:00 p.m. I heard a loud series of overlapping whooping sounds coming from the woods across the river behind my house. I have searched the web looking for a recording of anything like the sound I heard.

 

I also would describe the sound as almost mechanical sounding. I did find a recording of "bigfoot" taken from northern CA in the '70's that starts off with the exact same sound, though not in the same cadence.

 

Additional Information:

 

Here's a link to the recording of the sounds that are very close to what I heard in upstate NY, 02/12/12. The audio clip the witness found is from the BFRO website. http://www.bfro.net/avevid/sierrasounds/Whoop.mp3

Unknown Screeching Noises At Pachaug Connecticut (Sasquatch/Bigfoot ?)

 

My friend and I have been hunters for a while and we have heard similar screeching noises. 

 

We live in Connecticut as well. We live around the Pachaug area and have heard some noises that do not sound like animals native to Connecticut (coyotes, turkeys, deer, foxes, etc.).

 

The person who wrote the above report, was referring to a story I received and can be found at: “Naugatuck, Connecticut Bigfoot Or Something Else ?” http://bigfoot-sasquatch.blogspot.com/2008/06/naugatuck-connecticut-bigfoot-or.html

Date:  February (?)

Time:  6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.

Number of witnesses: 1

Number of Objects: 1

Shape of Objects: Big, and hairy.

Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was in my outdoor hot tub on a cold February night, when all of a sudden I smelled this disgusting, foul odor that smelled like a cross between eggs and rotted flesh.

I sat there for a few moments, wondering just what could be causing such a smell, when suddenly I heard a great crashing in the small strip of woods in the field across from my house.

I held my breath, too scared to talk when I saw a the faint outline of what appeared to be a hairy man, around 7-8 feet tall, in the light of my upper porch light.

Scared to death by now, I waited for the creature to pass into the woods on the backside of my house, then I quickly jumped up and ran inside.

Bigfoot Roaming Lummi Indian Reservation In Bellingham Washington

Sighting on October 21, 2010
Time: Daytime.

Hello Brian, I am not really sure of who to contact, but I hope that you might be the person that can help me. I live on the Lummi Indian Reservation in Bellingham Washington. My husband and myself live on my grandfather land for about 12 years now.

Our encounter with bigfoot when we first moved in our new home was 12 years ago. I had not seen or heard of bigfoot in my life, until we moved on my grandfather land. I am very upset because no one will investigate this stranger. It makes it self known almost every other day. If you can contact me it would be greatly appreciated.

So far there are three in this small community which I have heard on several occasions. Today while I was outside, I heard noise in the woods, soon after an eagle started making noises as well. Then out of no where, I seen Bigfoot come out of woods. It has taken me by surprise and I screamed and ran back into the house.

My husband asked me not to bother Bigfoot and leave them along. I get scared because I am alone most of the time. Please Help.

If any Bigfoot researchers/Investigators in Washington State would like the contact information for these folks, please write to me. Just researchers thank you.

Since I am posting this report, I will get going this weekend and write up the Sasquatch experience that took place between Prince Rupert and Terrace, B.C. It is a dandy.

Possible Sasquatch/Bigfoot Tracks Found In South Central Maine ?

Date: February 2010 (Not sure of exact date)

Time: The tracks were found in the daylight hours.

Hello! I'm in south central Maine. I was walking through a field today (where no one walks) and found an odd trail. It looks just like the Sasquatch trails you see in other people's pictures. It is snowy, so the tracks remain (we haven't had snowfall for several weeks, so no telling how recent they are). I also found fairly fresh poo, which looked like human poo, except was full of fibrous material and seeds.

It didn't look like it came from a meat-eater and saw no sign of purified meat. Parts of it even had a reddish tone, as though some type of tree fruit was consumed. There was also some fuzzy hairs in it, but not throughout it. My guess is that it was hair from the creature who pooped there, or from a young that the adult bathed.

Should I go back and get the poo in a bag and send it for lab tests to determine where/what it came from? I would also take pictures (actually, didn't even think to snap some with my cell phone while out there today!). Can't imagine what else could make those prints. The footprints are about 5 feet apart, but are from a single foot, not like an animal running where several paws would land close to each other. It was pretty cool to see this. I even walked around and kept my eye out in the woods. They are not harmful beings, it would be kind of cool to see one. Will look forward to hearing back from you.

I will update the report if anymore information comes in.

Adkins, Texas Bigfoot Sightings

Date: July 17, 2008
Time: 10:15 p.m.

Location of Sighting: My yard.
Number of witnesses: Many
Number of objects:
Shape of objects: Bigfoot.

Full Description of event/sighting: The lead in story reads like a normal night around my house. My family and I have smelled or seen this thing on many occasions. We are missing cats and sometime the cats we have left all come to the porch and will not get down until the smell goes away. Tonight I went out to place some table scraps on the patio for the wild animals and when I stood up this thing, whatever it is was 10-12 feet from me.

The ground it was on was about 1-1.5 feet lower than where I was standing and it was the same height as me. I stand 6 feet, so this thing would be near 7.5 feet tall, and an easy 3 feet or more wide. I have always been a very physical person and this thing made me feel about as tough as a preschool girl. I did not have a good light source so I did not get a good look at it.

We have heard it growl several times in the night sometimes right outside of our windows. This was not the first time we have seen it but it was certainly the closest. We are starting to feel like prisoners in our own home. We can not go out after dark without feeling watched. There are other reports in our neighborhood of missing pets. All small animals.

We have not found any tracks but we have not felt safe enough to go tromping through the woods with this thing out there. The next door neighbor has experienced some of the same things we are experiencing. We live in a heavily wooded area and wild animals coming up is not uncommon but this is a little extreme.

Thank you to the witness for their report.

Bigfoot Sightings Continue Out Of East Texas

I've had a few strange encounters since we moved back to E. Texas, not with UFOs but with Bigfoot. He was here when we moved in the house I bought. It's located between two forests and a gravel pit near by. A lot of weird things were happening, noises, bumps , tin beating on barn, etc. Then one night my son & I heard a noise I can't explain, we jumped up, got the big flash light, and along with the dog we ran out back, it was about 1:30 am. My son shinned the light above the tall grass. This was Sept. 17, 2007.

We didn't see anything so Sierra and the German Shepherd walked around to the front where his truck was parked. I stayed in the back alone, leaning up against my Ford Ranger looking toward the north. About that time I could see something light in color rising up out of the tall grass behind a dead tree limb lying on the ground about 10 feet. from me.

This thing rose up, up, up and kept rising. I began talking to myself and rubbing my eyes. The creature must have been over 8 feet tall and maybe 3 feet wide. It really surprised me. I know it was a Bigfoot, but the whitish color threw me off. He stood there about 7 or 8 seconds looking at me. I couldn't say a word, I was so scared.

You know Brian, you may not believe me, but it's kind of strange having a creature wandering around your place every night.

Hope all is well. Sincerely.

Thank you to the eyewitness to this ongoing sighting of the creature.

Bigfoot - A Large Brownish Red Creature Ran Across The Road

About Bigfoot, It is my second encounter, in 1986 a large brownish red creature ran across the road in front of me and (name removed) when he was in the first grade. Apparently he knew where we lived because at night I began to feel I was being watched. About 3 or 4 weeks later, the dogs in the kennel in the Corral barked all night, finally at 3:00am I went out to let the dogs out, everyone in the house was sleeping.

I went out, opened the gate, took about 10 steps toward the kennel and he (Bigfoot) screamed (yelled) at me. It was the scariest sound I've ever heard, I stopped and said OH Sh--. then I ran to the pen and the dogs passed me running into the house. The next morning I went out to the corral and he had broken a cedar post off that had been set in concrete for 2 years, so I think he left his calling card.

At sundown here, you can go out and hear them hollering to each other. One will yell in one direction and another one will answer him, then another one will answer that one from another direction. So, there here. I have feelings for them, and I've learned a lot. I believe this particular one lives underground.

I know where. He has to be underground because he lives near people, and hunters are everywhere during hunting season, so I feel he goes underground at day break and comes out at sunset. He gets very frustrated and beats tin on the barn and it sounds like King Kong. My son has had different experiences with Bigfoot also. As for me, I think BF is curious about me, and I think he watched me through the windows when we first moved into this house. This is getting a little long, I'll write you more later. Think about what you want to do.

Thank you to the witness for their report. Also if all goes OK, I will be interviewing this witness for the Vike Report Radio Show. I know this interview will be something to hear. Making arrangements for this now.

Naugatuck, Connecticut Bigfoot Or Something Else ?

Date: June 3, 2008
Time: 1:30 or 2:00 a.m.

Message: I don't want to sound fanatic and hopefully there is a good explanation to all this. I live in Connecticut and not sure what I heard last night at approx. 1:30 a.m. The backyard of my home faces the woods. My backyard is several yards from a sharp ravine that slopes down to into the woods and to a stream. Not too far from the stream is a reservoir located in a wooded area. With my window open last night, I heard what was like a whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop sound coming from the woods in the back of my house. At the same time, I heard a loud pitch screeching noise more near my house that nearly shook me out of bed. It seemed liked the screeching sound was closer to my home than the whooping sound. I know the woods could house many wild animals due to the stream in the back.

I haven't got the foggiest clue what I'm hearing back there. Another time, my husband and I heard sounds in the wee hours of the morning what sounded like sounds coming from a jungle (almost like a large bird). But it seemed like there were two of these things communicating with each other. Do you think these are animals instead of birds. I don't know of any birds awake at 1:30 or 2:00 in the morning. Thanks for your help.

Additional Information:

Thank you for your response. My county is Naugatuck. The woods is adjacent to our stretch of homes in the back of our park. Unfortunately, I didn't have a recorder handy, but neither was I expecting this type of event. I asked my neighbor if she heard anything last night (June 3, 2008) but she heard nothing. She did say at times she hears strange animal noises but not to this liking. I would like to explore the ravine for footprints, but it's so steep and dangerous. Do you think a large animal similar to Bigfoot could be present in the area? It's kind of strange, but the whooping sound almost sounded mechanical instead of humanlike. I know we have a water treatment plant in back of the stream, but I don't think the sound came from the plant. I will keep a tape recorder handily just in case another sound pops up.

Also, just another piece of information, a couple of weeks ago, I heard some strange noises (between a clicking and cawing, different sound, but hard to explain) coming from woods in my backyard. This happened same time around 1:30 -2:00 a.m. It sounded like these two 'things' were calling out to each other from a distance. I really didn't pay much attention to these noises, but since last night's episode, I'm rather curious now. Hope I'm not alone hearing these things. Please let me know. Thanks.

Thank you to the witness for the interesting report.

Roosevelt Lake, Arizona Bigfoot Sighting

Date: January 2001 Time: Between 4:00 and 5:00 a.m.

Message: This message is to Brian Vike in response to sightings of BigFoot. And to contribute somehow to the on going research by Robert. W. Morgan.

In 2001 January, my husband and a fishing buddy were fishing in the early morning about between 4 and five am up at Roosevelt Lake which borders the Mogollon Rim. His buddy spotted it first and motioned to my husband to look . There could be no doubt to what they saw. My husband said a man about 9 feet tall and covered with dark brown hair was walking less than half a mile away perhaps 100 yards the length of a foot ball field or less above them on the ridge.

He said the creature was walking and taking huge strides. what was amazing was the Bigfoot for there was no question here, was able to cover the entire ridge in less then five minutes. also to note, there was no way for a human being to get up there as there is no ingress or egress on that ridge. Since the creature or being took huge strides unlike a human swinging it's arms and was covered in dark brown hair and was high up on this mountain ridge, they had to conclude it could not be a man .

His buddy doesn't want to acknowledge it, but my husband knows beyond a shadow of a doubt the early morning strider was indeed Bigfoot. We just listened to a prior broadcast with Robert W. Morgan on Art Bell from 2001, and on that show Mr. Morgon validates that Bigfoot do reside around the Mogollon Rim in that very area where my husband was. so that really validates it for us.

Thank you very much to the people for this interesting report.

Bigfoot Family Jacobs Creek, Pennsylvania

Date: N/A
Time: Early afternoon.

Location of Sighting: Jacobs Creek, Pa.
Number of witnesses: 3
Number of objects: 4
Shape of objects: Human shaped-hairy.

Full Description of event/sighting: Brian, lost your e-mail, please contact me. I had no idea you also had a place here for Bigfoot sightings! I've also seen "Bigfoot" and his family a number of years ago. I'm 42 now and I was about 12 then, with my two older brothers (14yrs.and 18). We were swimming in the Yough River just across from our home around 2:00pm in the summer. The whole river was no higher than maybe up to my waist and remember I was about 12, so it was pretty shallow. Long story short, I'm in the water with one brother, our oldest brother was just a little bit away on the shore. We were looking downstream and saw a huge hairy creature, maybe 7-7.5 feet tall and one a tad bit smaller and two small ones, maybe my size. The big one picked up this huge boulder out of the water and lifted over his head, with arms stretched as far as they could be.

He threw it to the smaller one, the smaller one seemed to be listening to the biggest one because it dropped it into the water as if told to do so. Mind you, we've been watching them for about 10-15 minutes. They all noticed us at the same time, so I know they communicate with each other. Then all four of them very, very, slowly went down in the water! Being a 12 year old I thought they were coming up stream to get us! We got out of the water so fast and ran across the street to home. We didn't know anything about "Bigfoot" back then, or we could've possibly got footprints from the shore, or watched to see where they went and got pictures. We just knew we saw some kind of hairy creatures and didn't want any part of that river again.

Thank you to the witness for the fascinating report.

At the same time, I heard a loud pitch screeching noise more near my house that nearly shook me out of bed. It seemed liked the screeching sound was closer to my home than the whooping sound. I know the woods could house many wild animals due to the stream in the back.

I haven't got the foggiest clue what I'm hearing back there. Another time, my husband and I heard sounds in the wee hours of the morning what sounded like sounds coming from a jungle (almost like a large bird). But it seemed like there were two of these things communicating with each other. Do you think these are animals instead of birds. I don't know of any birds awake at 1:30 or 2:00 in the morning. Thanks for your help.

Additional Information:

Thank you for your response. My county is Naugatuck. The woods is adjacent to our stretch of homes in the back of our park. Unfortunately, I didn't have a recorder handy, but neither was I expecting this type of event. I asked my neighbor if she heard anything last night (June 3, 2008) but she heard nothing. She did say at times she hears strange animal noises but not to this liking. I would like to explore the ravine for footprints, but it's so steep and dangerous. Do you think a large animal similar to Bigfoot could be present in the area? It's kind of strange, but the whooping sound almost sounded mechanical instead of humanlike. I know we have a water treatment plant in back of the stream, but I don't think the sound came from the plant. I will keep a tape recorder handily just in case another sound pops up.

Also, just another piece of information, a couple of weeks ago, I heard some strange noises (between a clicking and cawing, different sound, but hard to explain) coming from woods in my backyard. This happened same time around 1:30 -2:00 a.m. It sounded like these two 'things' were calling out to each other from a distance. I really didn't pay much attention to these noises, but since last night's episode, I'm rather curious now. Hope I'm not alone hearing these things. Please let me know. Thanks.

Thank you to the witness for the interesting report.
