I posted something similar about this in General Hunting and felt this was a more appropriate thread. The reason I posted on this subject is that I had an incident the other day in Redlands WMA area right next to Falling Creek.
To be honest, I have always been interested in the "possibility" of a Bigfoot, yet am not totally convinced of one until I actually see it. I am a "show me" type of guy.
Thus that is the reason I was standing next to the creek and hitting a rock onto a tree. Yes I actually picked up a rock and did that.Just to see if anything replied. It did. I thought "well thats weird did I really just hear that"? I waited a few seconds and did it again this time changing up the sequence (ie.. 1 pause then 3). I got another reply. This time a little closer. Now I am feeling a little rushed as my blood is moving a little faster thinking am I really hearing this? Now guys I am not sure what I heard but I SWEAR it replied back 5 more times..the last two were faint. I just kept pausing thinking that it was a bird (maybe it was?) and was knocking at the same time anyway but NO I was communicating with something I know that and noone can tell me different. It ONLY replied when I knocked. That I SWEAR is the only time I heard the knocks. Now, here is how I can best describe the knocks without any audio evidence. It sounded a Little stronger than a woodpeckers knocks but it was Not so strong sounding as a bat on a tree. It was definitely wood sounding but am not sure what was hitting the wood..it Could have been a strong beak? It was very clear sounding not muffled except for the last two replies which were farther away. The knocks came from the same general location except for a variance of maybe 50 yards(I guessing the animal was moving). In all seriousness, everytime I would knock..EVERYTIME..I heard a Definite wood knock deeper in the woods. I even tried stopping for awhile and it did as well. Only when I knocked it would reply with at least 2 knocks sometimes three or four.
Never were they in rapid fire as a Pileated Woodpecker will do and it happened several times. I was actually getting chills out there.
Now comes my question to anyone. I look at all strange things I find in the woods and rule out all possibilities. I am not one to say everything is a Bigfoot or an Alien or whatever..lol. I want to think of what it could possibly be.
I have never had that happen to me.
I am posting here first as you all are experienced woodsmen/women (woodspeople?) lol.
Does a squirrel reply like that/woodpecker//etc? Help me because I can honestly tell you I was communicating with something in the woods and I was the only one around.
I am truly open to reason here. Anyone have some thoughts?
