New Sounds in OK, Not a Cat, Not a Bear...Perhaps Bigfoot?

If It's not a Bobcat or a Bear, Oklahomans decides it must be Bigfoot
In an article at the Grove Sun titled "Rumplings of Bigfoot," Peggy Kiefer reports an uptick in odd sounds in Delaware County Oklahoma. Shen notes there has been a drought and the new sounds may be hungry bears, but those familiar with the local wildlife do not believe these are bears. They even rule out Bobbcats. In fact, these sounds are so unfamiliar they are being attributed to a Bigfoot.

Read the article below as Peggy lists some of the more noteworthy sounds heard within the last week.

Rumblings of Bigfoot have been reportedly heard in Delaware County recently. Some people believe the never before heard sound is bears foraging their way out of the woods due to drought conditions. Others believe what they have heard and seen come from something much larger than a bear.

This past week several individuals reported hearing what they describe as a loud screeching, or groaning. Something deeper than what a bob cat sounds like, but not exactly what they believe a bear sounds like.
Whatever it is, it scares not only humans but dogs, cattle and horses too.

Dakota Cox lives in Hickory Grove. He said he heard the sound earlier this week near 590 Road in the Hickory Grove area and it scared his horses so much they took off running.

Others have described hearing similar sounds in Colcord near Cloud Creek.

Sunday night neighbors were out trying to find the creature. Seventeen vehicles belonging to interested parties were counted in Cloud Creek.

Could it really be the famous Bigfoot? Maybe a cousin? Or is he/it just some hungry and thirsty bears?
It is hunting season after all, and well since I just can't find it in my heart to kill Bambi (or any of her family members), I thought I would do my part this hunting season and see what I can dig up about Bigfoot and these scary noises.

There have been sightings of a Bigfoot like creature in this neck of the woods for years.

I've heard many stories this past week, but one thing they all have in common is they will talk as long as I promise not to use their names. All of them also say the sound they heard is unlike anything they've heard before. Almost all of the people I spoke to talk about a smell. Something like a wet dog, only worse.

In April of 2000, a sighting near Eucha was officially reported to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (yes there really is such an organization). A woman reported that her husband returned home from a fishing trip (gigging) in Eucha, approximately 12 miles west of Jay.

The report states that the man and two of his friends set up camp and went out on the boat until about 10 p.m. that night. When they went back to camp, they cooked, ate supper and retired for the night in one large tent. “About ten minutes after settling in, there were very loud, deep throated, “banchee” screams coming from across the creek, which echoed throughout the area. All three of us have hunted and fished all our lives, one of us grew up in Jay, yet non of us had ever heard that sound before. It was extremely frightening to put it mildly,” the fisherman reported. They all agreed it had come from something very large.

The next year they heard thrashing in the bushing that sounded as if it was also from a large creature. Neither time were there any sightings. Others have reported seeing a creature outside their homes.

I'm not really going out in the woods hunting for the creature, but stay tuned as I continue the hunt for more information about recent sightings and reports of hearing sounds of Bigfoot.

Yeti Expedition to Cover New Ground North of Kemerovo

Igor Burtsev in Kemerovo 2011

Like clockwork, every Fall the Russian newspapers start to cover Kemerovo Yeti sightings. Stories of sightings  expeditions, and government officials culminate to Yeti Day celebrated on November 11th.

We don't say this to diminish the great research happening in the region, we just know to expect to hear about it around this time of year. In September 2010 Itar-Tash mentioned four Yeti expeditions. In November of same year RIA Novosti metioned the Yeti caves of  Mount Shoriya. In October 2011 they invited Ron Morehead and Dr Jeff Meldrum to Kemerovo Siberia Yeti Expedition.

This October is no different. The Siberian Times has an article titled, "Three separate 'sightings of yetis' in Siberia ahead of new expedition to find the 'abominable snowman'

You can read it below.

By The Siberian Times reporter
24 September 2012
Yetis have been 'sighted' recently in three different remote areas in Kemerovo region, according to local reports.

One was spotted this month by an unnamed state inspector in the Shorsky National Park, says local government official Sergei Adlyakov.

'The creature did not look like a bear and quickly disappeared after breaking some branches of the bushes,' he was quoted as saying.

This case was in Tashtagolski district, close to the border with Khakassia, it was claimed. 

It was highlighted by Trud newspaper but when The Siberian Times asked Adlyakov for more details, he said the sighting was 'private information' and he had not intended that the 'sighting' was made public. 

The same official has claimed to be aware of yeti sightings in previous years. 

Earlier in August, fisherman Vitaly Vershinin saw two creatures near Myski village, according to a local Siberian newspaper. 

'Sailing up the river I saw on the bank what I thought were two bears,' he said. 'They were drinking water. 

'When they noticed me, they easily stood straight upright and went away... I did not wish to chase them.'

In common with other sightings of supposed yetis, they are distinguished from bears - which are common in these areas - by running upright on two legs.

In a separate account, the fisherman took a Vesti TV crew back to the spot where he allegedly saw the yetis.

'We shouted to them - do you need help?', he said, initially thinking the creatures were humans. And they just rushed away, all in fur, walking on two legs, making way through the bushes with two other limbs, straight up the hill, right there,' he added, pointing.

'What did we think? It could not be bears, as the bear walks on all-fours, and they ran on two.... so then they were gone.'

It was reported that several days after this sighting 'local people saw a strange creature one more time'.

Officials in Kuzbass, Kemerovo region, told of another alleged sighting.'We were sailing in a boat without an engine. On the rock above the Mras-Su River we saw some tall animals looking like people,' said locals who have not been named. 

'Our binoculars were broken and did not let us see them sharply. We waved at the animals but they did not respond, then quickly ran back into the forest, walking on two legs.'

He stressed: 'We realised that they were not in dark clothes but covered by dark fur. They did walk like people.'

Russia's leading 'yeti expert' Igor Burtsev, head of the International Centre of Hominology, said he believes the supposed Myski sighting to be 'significant' though was unaware of the later National Shorsky Park case. 

Russia is to host a conference and expedition in search of the yeti next month, he said. In a similar hunt last year, Burtsev claimed that a team of international experts discovered samples of yeti hair. No DNA analysis has been released of the hair though it is understood tests are being undertaken.

'We plan a scientific conference on the yeti in October,' Burtsev said.  

'We shall explore new areas, to the north from the usual places yetis have been seen previously. The conference will start in Moscow and then we will travel with our guests to Kemerovo region.'

The exact location of the yeti-hunt in Kemerovo region is not known. 

'The conference and a following expedition is organised by the administration of Kemerovo region. We are glad that local authorities support our work', he said. 'Yetis are seen in many places of Russia but here in Kuzbass we are given a chance to explore this properly'. 

Burtsev claims the creature - also known as Bigfoot and Sasquatch - is a missing link between Neanderthal man and modern human beings. 

Mainstream scientists say the creatures are entirely mythical and point out no remains have been found of them despite alleged 'sightings'.

Footage of yetis often turns out to be fake, they add. Burtsev has previously claimed  a population of around 30 yetis are living in Kemerovo region. 

'We have good evidence of the yeti living in our region, and we have heard convincing details from experts elsewhere in Russia and in the US and Canada,' he said. 'The description of the habits of the Abominable Snowmen are similar from all over the world'.

UPDATE!! Igor Burtsev, who is currently getting over pneumonia, has reported to us that the expedition has been canceled. His own words below.
The conference and the expedition failed... Because a couple days ago it became clear that almost all invited and supposed attendants from the USA, Canada, Australia, England, Mongolia, Finland met various obstacles and can't leave for Russia. Only France, Ukraine and Sweden remained, but it would not be enough. We also hoped to mark 45th Anniversary of PG film together with Bob Gimlin. But unfortunately in last moment received the info that his feeling was not so good to fly so long to reach Moscow and after to Siberia - just to opposite side of the Globe. That is why decision was adopted to conduct the conference and the expedition in Spring time... By the way, I'm writing this comment being in a hospital with pneumonia. Thus - all in one, as we say... It's a pity, sorry.
