911 Call

This sound file contains excerpts from an authentic 911 call from the Pacific Northwest. The incident happened on the Kitsap Peninsula, Washington State, in the 1990's (not the 1970's).

The sheriffs did show up eventually, but the figure was gone at that point--it didn't stick around for long.

The dispatcher's protocol was to verify man's name and address in the beginning. She does that in the unedited, original version of the 911 call. The original version also has some pauses where only the dispatcher's typing is heard.


In order to make the sound clip as compact as possible, everything extraneous has been removed. The clip only contains the parts of the conversation related to the appearance and behavior of the figure outside. All other dialogue is either irrelevant or personal.

Moaning Howls

Moaning howls are thought to be made by large, male sasquatches.

1994 Ohio Howl This was the first recording ever obtained of a long moaning howl vocalization. It was recorded in Columbiana County, in the hills above Wellsville. These moaning siren-like howls can be heard on occassion late at night in the Fall, echoing off hills on both sides the Ohio River. West Virginia is on the other side of the river.

Interaction Vocalizations (aka "Samurai Chatter")

A growing number of people in the BFRO have heard sounds similar to what you hear in the recording below.

Clip 1: Ron Moorehead and one of the animals

Clip 2: The "old man" alone

This recording was obtained in a remote part of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. Ron Moorehead can be heard in the foreground shouting out to immitate one of the animals. He tries to encourage the animal to continue making sounds.

This growl/whistle combination was recorded in the High Sierras in California by Alan Berry, 1978

whooing sound recorded by witness Dave Cleveland on his property after a 1972 sighting in Estacada, OR.

In 1973, there were several sightings in a gravel pit in Puyallup, WA. These sounds were recorded by Mr. Marlin Ayers. You can hear birdsong, and a train whistle in the background. Known as the Puyallup Screamer, this creature's vocalizations terrorized the residents of the neighborhood

Snohomish, WA 1978-79 - These sounds were recorded by L.W. She was our neighbor's friend, and our creature encounters were occurring at about the same time in the state of Washington, 50 miles apart. L.W. sat on her porch nightly with her little dog as these screams came from the gravel pit near her house. She recorded the sounds for a total of 9 months. This particular recording shows the frequency and intensity of the sounds well. It is very similar to the Puyallup screams above, and the Klamath screams below, one of three nearly-identical recordings made in three different places over a 20-year period

Another clip from the Snohomish recordings, 1978.
This recorded sequence of whistles is the only one of its kind, and demonstrates well why the Wild Woman (Dsonoqua or Tsonokwa) is depicted in Native American art with pursed lips.

This clip, recorded at night by a researcher in the Klamath area of California in 1993, is eerily similar to the Puyallup and Snohomish screams, although MUCH clearer. It is, to date, the cleanest recording of a purported Sasquatch vocalization.

Klamath Screams


These sounds were recorded by Matt M. in late fall of 1994, in the wooded hills of Columbiana County, Ohio, near the Ohio River. While many think it is a barred owl, two ornithologists and one Illinois state wildlife surveryor have provided feedback on the recording. None could identify the howl. There is a dog barking, and a barred owl responding at the end of the recording.

This material is not mine i got this from some other site in my bookmarks so all props go to DaniBoy the original provider of this links and material.

I've heard that 911 call previously....it's pretty funny.....I thought it was, anyway............HE'S BIG!!!!!

Great clips thanks. The Ron Moorehead and the old man ones sound like "Captain cave man." Anybody remember him?

The Ohio one sounds like a siren used in the area to alert volunteer firefighters of an emergancy.If i'm not mistaken it is a squad run and not a fire.

Sorry, can't help ya.

Yeay there he is! I missed ya Cap'n ole buddy.

The problem with most sasquatch recordings is that they're made with very low tech gear (usually someone standing in his front garden with a tape recorder), so its difficult to even hear what you're supposed to be listening to let alone decide what's making the noise. It's not the first area I look to if I'm looking for evidence.

I like the 911 call. The guy acted hesitant to call it a man at one point. But i don't think he wanted to lose credibilty by calling it bigfoot or whatever.

thats one funny phone call

mabey bigfoot was trying to rob them

Maybe not everyone has high tech gear sitting around their house...maybe these are the ones you should listen to because they have no agenda. Thats the first place I would go for evidence.

I think you will find the Klamath vocalization as well asthe Puyallup vocalization, Mt. St. Helen's vocalization and the Chehalis vocalization where all Identifies as coming from coyote earlier this year.

My biggest gripe with Vocalisations is no one ever sees the animal making them, yet somehow people make the leap of faith to 'bigfoot'

I was imagining that Bigfoot will somewhat have a 'big ape' typed sound. Somewhat like a low rumble and a low pitched shrieking or howling...

Yes of course...because a very unclear noise in the middle of a fuzz of static is really going to provide anything conclusive.

My point wasn't that someone might have an 'agenda'...my point was that nothing provided by it will ever convince anyone. I'm a firm believer in sasquatch, yet I'm not utterly convinced that any of the above sounds were actually made by one. A sound without some kind of context to it is just a sound...nothing more.

If that is the first place you'd look for evidence, then not only are you not going to find much, but you've got an odd set of priorities.

Hmm ... So you can call an unidentified creature a big foot, but the sound of a big foot is not beleivable.
?
Something wrong with your logic there. doesn't this fit with your Primate theory.

That is my biggest contention with ALOT of the "evidence" regarding 'Ol Footy, but you would be correct with your assessment. Other than the first-hand recountings, which I truly do believe that those people ARE seeing SOMETHING, it's difficult to find ANYTHING conclusive or concrete.........still just conjecture.

Kindly don't twist me words, or take what I said out of context. I'm a very experienced verbal flayer. The difference between the two should be so blindingly obvious that I shouldn't even have to underline it. However, for the sake of arguement...

i'm going to try saying it one more time...almost all the recordings available of sasquatch are of very poor quality. The sound we're supposed to be listening to can barely be heard, let alone identified...this is not the same as a clear, high quality recording of an animal call, which certainly can be listened too properly and itentified. It is for this reason that I don't give them much attention; there is no hyporacy in that. I'm a scientist...just because I believe in sasquatch doesn't mean I'm going to randomly grab anything that looks even remotely like evidence.

I think you misunderstood me Saraphina.
I didn't make myself clear...sorry.
The reason I said I what I did is because I believe if it is ever found it will be a camper, hiker or hunter that will ultimately find proof positive, not bigfoot hunters with high tech. equipment.
Thus in my opinion these findings are very important although I totally agree with the fact that you can't ascertain anything from a fuzzy recording.

I used to love Captain Cave Man. He rocked greatly.

no, what the heck is wrong with you captian cave man is evil! anyways I have always thought bigfoot was real and I still think it is (real)

I wish you didn't use those weird anime girls for your avatars...

I guess I'll just never be able to jump on board the whole 'Ol Footy bandwagon until I see more than what I've been able to see....and as far as the sounds go, I coudn't tell the difference between a Bigfoot yell/call and a James Brown lyric, so I'm clueless(well, more clueless) when it comes to sounds........maybe I should move to the PNW when I sell my autobiography and become incredibly wealthy.

my avatar is not a girl, and what does that have to do with anything

Not sure, but it was amusing.

to you, but to me it it was annoying and an insult to kohaku's problem in the anime show inuyasha, and pointless, anime and bigfoots (bigfeet?) are not realted topics

Sorry, could you please translate everything after the word "insult".......on second thought don't, it wouldn't be on topic.

huh? what I said makes sense, soo how many people here think bigfoot is real?

Maybe they are related topics.....both are scary looking.

oh that makes much more sense now that you put it that way swampgator-scarscam(sp)

I think my avatar is far scarier than his to be perfectly honest...but it's all off topic If you want to discuss avatars and/or anime, there's a different section of the board for that.

we really need to get back on topic, and my avatar may look nondangerous but he is a deadly killing machine

Which brings me to my next question...do you think that 'Ol Footy(other than being a yodeler) is DEFINITELY a carnivore or a herbivore?

while most likley old bigfoot foot eats both meat and plants

It's difficult to say for certain, since we'd probably need to do some kind of extended study on the animal in the wild (which obviously isn't feasible at this stage). We were studying chimps for decades before we discovered they were omnivores - they were, for a very long time, thought to be herbivores and occassional insectivores. It wasn't until they were actually seen killing and eating monkies that we gained a better understanding of their diet.

I'd say that sasquatch is probably omnivorious...there are some accounts of them killing and partially eating dogs, or being seen dragging around dead deer.

Your probably right, and besides, how picky can you afford to be when your address is "the middle of freakin nowhere" lane.

You will never catch a bigfoot ....It will just disappear. they are dimensional creatures.

dude that just is kinda silly and unlikely

It is no more unlikely then the idia of a half man half monkey walking around and hiding from people just to make them wonder.

than why cant anyone catch or shoot one?

Oh now you done it. Captain cave man is very mad now. Him hit you with club. UNGA BUNGA.
Id say omni

cause the wilderness is vast and easy to hide in and I do not fear capt cave man, I have a sickle on a chain, which is much better than a club

Well I hope you dont fear him, he is after all a cartoon. You need to learn to relax and laugh.

I believe in "big foot" whatever it is.....

A friend of our family use to be a big game hunter and traveled the world hunting animals ( I am not fond of killing animals for sport but that's me....no slam intended for to those who do). But he told a story of hunting Elk up in the Blue Mountains in southern Washington. He was with his buddies and they were sitting around the campfire when they heard this odd howling sound which was not far off. They had mules that had packed in their supplies and stuff and the mules were very uneasy when they heard these sounds too. It made the hair on the back of the men's neck stand up! None of the men heard anything like this sound before and they were all experienced hunters. They never slept that night....they all stayed alert. They felt threatened by whatever it was and the next day left that area they did not even want to try and track it....

Lumber jacks tell some interesting stories too.....how their equipment gets moved around, and the horrible smell. And then there are all the Indian lore about them too. Who knows? But, I think there is something out there.....and the Pacific Northwest would be a good area for them to live for it is still very remote in some areas.

why I am cartoon too. anyways the wilderness in north america is unknown and unexplored in some parts and it wouldn't be too hard to hide from humans if they are solitary animals

So how do you come to this conclusion.

How many dimensional creatures are known to science as opposed to hominids that are known to of lived

Everything is dimensional.

I'm three dimensional. Bigfoot is two dimensional (only exists in images).

Then what's that big, hairy hand on your shoulder?

Hell, if we're going to speculate to the degree of "extra-dimensional" theories, then maybe 'Ol Footy is actually a very hairy and unkept Longinus, who was cursed to walk the Earth for eternity until the "return"..........hey, ya NEVER know, right?
