In 1973, there were several sightings of a mysterious creature in a gravel pit near Puyallup, Washington. This elusive being became known as the Puyallup Screamer due to its spine-chilling vocalizations.

 

Marlin Ayers, a witness to these events, recorded the Sasquatch sounds emanating from the woods. Amidst the eerie howls, you can also hear birdsong and a distant train whistle in the background. The Puyallup Screamer's vocalizations left the neighborhood residents both fascinated and terrified.

The recording has been heavily scrutinized over the years.

Interesting thoughts and theories can be formed when getting together with fellow researchers.

For example, in a recent get-together, someone ventured the comment about seeing a "new" face in their research area. It took a few seconds, then I noticed several others silently nod.

It seems that for some reason there appear to be more sasquatch in the research areas than before. Among the newcomers are females who appear to be pregnant and really young ones, even possibly newborns.

It was never called 'bigfoot' by any of the witnesses, denied by all but the witnesses, this creature terrorized Butler for one week back in 1978.

The story appears to start on July 8 around 11 pm, when two teens Eugene Kline and Ken O'Neil were walking along the railroad tracks. They heard a strange noise in the brush, an unusual growling sound. They both turned in that direction to see a 7-foot-tall creature with a large head and red eyes the size of golf balls. Ken turned and ran while Eugene stood frozen in place. After what seemed like minutes, he finally turned and ran after Ken. When they spoke to investigators later, neither could recall any details about the face, hair, hands, or feet.

Whether you like or despise the Mountain Monsters TV show, it is always interesting to look for the facts behind the story told on screen.

In one episode, the AIMS crew set out for Washington County in Pennsylvania. According to the team, this bigfoot was said to possess extreme speed and strength. This Shawnee Indian legend was said to have first come to light in the 1700s.

Thinking about how people express themselves concerning Sasquatch got the song "I'm a Believer" running through my mind. Neil Diamond wrote it and the Monkees made it a hit. 

It's a topic on all the forums and in all the groups; a popular subject for memes. Respect Nature. So let's have a talk about that as the unofficial "Official Research Season" seems to be starting.

First off, it's not a bad thing to have enthusiasm when you go out searching. But along with that eagerness is the accountability you should also take with you. I always liked the advice given in Jurassic Park II on how to be on the island and observe the dinosaurs but leave no trace.

In this day and age, everyone is trying to find novel ways of finding bigfoot.

They sing, they dance, they hoot, they howl, they play music, they blast calls, they play musical instruments, they even cook bacon.

They run through the woods and fields on ATVs and dirt bikes, they bang on trees with their special "bigfoot wood knockers", they rove through fields and forests on public and private lands with and without permission, all hoping to get the next "Patty film" or to be the next Matt Moneymaker. (Insert any other name you prefer)

Missouri has had many bigfoot sightings throughout history, starting with "wildman" stories up through the year 2018. One of the reported sightings comes from Clinton County. And that is what we shall explore today.

On January 29, 2018, a semi-truck driver saw a "tall brown mass" on two legs cross a roadside grassy area in only three giant steps and disappear into the woods. The afternoon sighting lasted only a few seconds. He reported his experience to the state highway patrol.  He described the creature moving with almost a "marching" movement but with a bilateral bend at its knees. The height was estimated at around 10 ft. The witness also reported this to BFRO (report #58980).
