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.
