During the early morning
hours (approx. 5 a.m.) of October 03, 2004,
both witnesses were awakened by what they
described as extremely loud, stressful,
vocalizations filled with an urgency that
could not only be heard, but also sensed and
felt. The couple stated these vocalizations
sounded like they were emanating from two
individual subjects with noticeable
differences in tonalities. The witnesses also
said the creatures or subjects were
frantically calling each other on either side
of their property. These unrecognizable
screaming sounds thoroughly confused and
terrified the retired couple.
After
locating similar sounding recordings of
purported sasquatch vocalizations on the
BFRO’s website—and filing a report regarding
their experience—the witnesses were
contacted by veteran sasquatch investigator
John Green of Harrison Hot Springs.
John Green interviewed the witnesses over
the phone and report (Class B)
was submitted to the
BFRO and subsequently posted to their site
on
Monday, October 04, 2004. This
report was the first possible sasquatch
vocalization that the witnesses remembered
hearing from their location on the Harrison
River. They did not record this first
vocalization. At John Green's insistence the
couple have kept their Hi-8 camcorder beside
their bed so a recording could be obtained
if and when another vocalization was heard.
According to the witnesses,
they have experienced several more possible
sasquatch vocalizations in their area since
October 2004. One vocalization they heard last
January was said to have scared them half to
death. Then, on February 01, 2005 at exactly 2
a.m., the retired couple heard another loud
vocalization close by and quickly placed their
Hi-8 camcorder outside and closed the door.
The result of their efforts can be heard in
the subsequent recording that I obtained after
visiting and interviewing the retired couple
at their home.
It may be interesting
to note here that the couple relayed to me
that their neighbor’s dog had gone absolutely
nuts with barking and whining and their
mid-sized poodle cowered at the foot of the
bed and shook uncontrollably when the
vocalization(s) were taking place in the
distance. However, as the creature making the
sounds approached closer to their home the
neighbor’s dog went completely quiet.
During
our interview the witnesses stated that all
they really wanted was someone with
sasquatch experience to come out to their
home, listen to their tape recordings, tell
them they weren’t nuts, and settle their
curious minds as to what could possibly be
making the strange sounds they’d been
hearing in the night. The couple told me
that they were terrified because what ever
was making the strange, loud screams was
very close to their house, and they are
older retired people wanting to feel
secure and safe in their twilight years.
When I was bidding my
farewells to the retired Harrison River
couple, they confided to me that they had
contacted several sasquatch research
organizations in the USA and
Canada, but for some strange reason
nobody would take the time to come out and
talk to them in person or listen to their
recordings.
To sum up my investigation,
I would like to state that the retired
Harrison River couple that recorded the
strange sounds with a Sony CCD-TRV128 Hi-8
camcorder—on a date and time stamped Hi-8
video-cassette tape—were certainly
upstanding, convincing
witnesses in the retelling of their
account(s). It may also be interesting to
note that the Harrison and Chehalis River
area where they reside and recorded the
Chehalis sound does have a long history rich
in recorded sasquatch sightings and
activity. I would also like to state that I
have recently received the name and phone
number of a male witness who claims to have
seen a dark colored, extremely fast moving,
giant human-like creature from precisely the
same location as the retired couple recorded
the strange sounds. However, from the
prospective of a serious sasquatch
investigator, the fact remains that while
the Harrison River couple’s recording was
extremely interesting and thought-provoking,
there is simply no way to corroborate or
associate it with sasquatch activity. The
strange sounds recorded near the confluence
of the Harrison and Chehalis Rivers can be
compared to other recorded possible
sasquatch vocalization sounds but, as of
yet, remain unidentified.
