12:59 My guess; the creature's true language is the "Whoop"s, and the human sounding gibberish they spoke surrounding the camp is similar to how humans meow at their cats. No clue what we are saying, but we vaguely mimick sounds that cats are known to make to lure them closer out of curiosity.

The audio recording hit me hard… ever since I was young, my family went on a trip every year to the Ozarks in Missouri. We always camped at the exact same spot. EVERY SING YEAR weird shit happened. I have so many stories from it. I heard this exact thing when I was 15 and it was petrifying. It was very late (not sure what time we had no electronics). And we camped beside a river and a spring that fed into it. Odd things always happened at night. We only had small zipper tents. Me and my older brother got our knives and kept the fire going as we listened to the almost human-like talking. We didn’t notice it at first, because the river had frequent kayaking. But after about 5 minutes, nobody came down the river. The talking lasted around 20 minutes (rough guess). And it sounded like it was on the cliff directly across the river. I love the forest, but I feel it is unwise to think there aren’t “things” out there.

WHOOPING GIBSONS

[@ItsNeverAManequin]

the whoops sound more like a dog noise. like a short howl. now, that 'communication' between them is fascinating. it, in fact, does sound like a language. it's not too far fetched that there are human-like species that have lived in the forests alongside us. they would develop differently than humans in metropolitan areas. they would be more hairy than us to withstand the cold, they would have thicker skin, they would be bipeds, they would be much taller, they would make or find shelter, communicate to each other and avoid modern humans at all costs. genetics have proven that the Sasquatch is a mix of female human DNA and an unknown male Hominin's DNA. possibly it was Sasquatches these hunters witnessed.

[@CommanderGeorgeLincolnRockwell]

I've camped next to a lot of creeks and rivers and if you are in the right kind of location, like a narrow canyon where sound is bouncing off the rocks everywhere, then a stream can make weird "speaking" sounds.

@@middleearthriseofmordor7656 to me, it sounds like Mohawk and Japanese mixed together,... Like a big chested native american was speaking Japanese to his kids. whom were making the lower noises at the hunters,.. I can mimic these sounds a great deal myself, i can go very lower and high register within syllables because of doing impressions a lot and learning how to mimic speech patterns, but the strength of register behind that deep japanese like speech has tonal shifts within its own register, it would be like speaking a full paragraph in the context of a couple words... when you realllly scrutinize the evidence it gets more and more to the fact that they are definitely out there, and are fascinated with us to one degree, but like other tribes, want nothing to do with us.

I know it's an old recording, but I'm very much positive that humans can't make such powerful howls. I don't see any benefit in them staging all of this up and I don't belive a group of hunters from the 70's were trying to play some sort of a prank on the rest of society. Oh also I'm pretty sure hunters of all professions, would know if the howls were from an animal or some drunk crazies and the fact that they were hearing this throughout most of the night adds another layer of doubt that there were actully human beings running and lurking around this lodge in the dead of night for hours.

Just after the guy recording says, "there's 2 of them across from the rocks." That's so frigging creepy. What if the one saying that is just mimicking something one of its previous victims said before it killed them? Kinda like how a Wendigo can mimic human speech it's heard. Though the creature in the recording seems like it's not doing it 100% accurately, maybe 80% accurately which is why the way these creatures speak is so uncanny, it's just slightly off from sounding like a human. That recording is haunting. Omg

Oh my gosh thank you for the Sierra Sounds video. I've heard the story and soundbite before but was a little skeptical as to why hunters in the 70s would conveniently have sound recording equipment with them on a trip. The fact that this was their second trip out there made a lot more sense.

[@fredbyoutubing]

The one thing that makes me more skeptical of these types of stories is that we've had a lot less of them since everyone and their grandmother carry an HD camera with lights and audio recording in their pocket. Or the stories are more easily explained and we don't hear about them because they aren't mysteries.

I heard "okay come on" one can't know how much they understand, but they seem to know when hunters are stalking prey and may interpret it as a threat. Cognitive behavioral suggests that they aren't just illusive but extremely curious and territorial. Territory is defined as a home range, habitat, or area that is DEFENDED. squirrels and cougars have "home ranges" not defended. for different reasons. These things are scary. If they don't scare you you're either in denial or stupid. They throw projectiles, communicate, and show a distinct and possibly inherent defense mechanism to be aggressive and mischievous. Someone needs to bag one and or capture a couple and inform them to spread the word about how taking us off their menu is imperative to their survival! One of the guys on here is calling it. I live in NH. I know the whoop howl sounds like a loon but how we or an ape would mimic a loon! Either way what's strange now that I think about it is! I'm positive of two things about the audio. One that one of these guys is throwing a poor whoop back at it and two that IT verbally switches to some broken English words being mimiced back. Which means it responded to them making whoops with F%Cking WORDS! Never heard of that. Also it's my belief that they can base swing on trees 14ft or more apart and conceal their tracks so it you are tracking one expect its trail to disappear or vanish and emerge especially with inclines in topography! look for large rubbings on trees where tracks vanish. Base swinging is a made up term but I theorize that these shots are beyond or concept of fast and would naturally utilize their physical size advantage to use the trees as primary mode of transportation. It's relatively silent, leaves no signs of passing same with water travel, and could be a quite fast alternative to stumbling through the under brush. Also animals that have eyes in the front of their heads and not one on each side are classied as predators, and predators that look down on people from trees that walk around and show them little to no respect (on the food chain level) while listening to their air pods and staring at their Snapchats. Well we are easy prey let's put it that way. These things appear to move around in nomadic family units males might not be in the picture though. I'm curious as to the primatology of it. Is it's a caste system or a pride. Like lions with an alpha male and a gang of bitches or is it like baboons with an entire squad or troop of families together like Indians. IDK but I would love to know more about them.

hearing the story behind the sierra sounds was incredible i've always been fascinated with the ideas of the paranormal, cryptids, extra-terrestrials, and all of that. sasquatch, bigfoot, and all of its other many titles, are super prominent legends that anyone who've stumbled across and ventured into this kind of content is BOUND to have heard about it at some point. i grew up fascinated with it, i remember being 7 or 8 and watching Finding Bigfoot with my grandma. i've watched other documentaries and shows on it, and i've heard the sierra sounds referenced quite a few times but never really heard the story. it's so cool and awesome to finally get some insight, especially told by my favorite youtuber.

To which my cousin replyed "this is my dad's property I think your confused" and the voice yelled back" your going to disrespect and adult? What would your parents say? Get over here now!" But luckily we weren't good kids that listened to adults we ran inside and told everyone what happened. Our relatives were disturbed by this so flashlights and arms were gathered.

We were 5 seconds away from calling the police because it sounded *just* like someone was being murdered or raped in the woods when my friends dad walked by, stuck his ear out the door, looked at us like we were kind of adorable but also kind of dumb, and explained what female foxes sound like.

Then there was other types of screams and crazy freaky noises and I've never heard and don't know how to explain. And it gets worse because when we hollered at them and asked them to show themselves they just got louder and crazier and started throwing rocks and sticks at us from up this steep hill and maybe from the trees. I almost got killed later by a rock the size of a grapefruit whizzing right past my face. Then later something snapped and knocked down a very large tree. This was with my boy scout group.

You would probably make your own callsigns to communicate with each other, wear furs to keep warm and go reccy anyone entering your territory. The whole sasquatch thing is a cool idea, but humans can be just as wild as any other creature on this planet.

[@DocJerky]

@@1616jaime I don't know if they were wild men, but I do think it was humans making those noises. Likely just screwing around. I have literally done the same thing while out in the woods hiking, and have gotten responses from other people just like this.

[@bradkirchhoff3751]

U say stupidity but in all honesty stupidity would be remaining silent as if nocturnal animals couldnt sense exactly where u are. Making noise at least puts some doubt into the anomals mind.

[@Horticarter41]

This is my favorite episode. ❤

[@4Fox6]

The hunters in the Sierra Camp also saw lights floating across the forest. The Missing 411 episode with Paulides is really good.

[@Aclownin1]

I grew up hunting out in Swain mountain wilderness in California. I've heard that. When I was little dad would tell me it was a coyote with laryngitis. Once I got older he admitted in all his life living and working in the woods he'd never heard anything like that in his life. He was in his 50s then and we still hunted there and camped at the same spot on robber's creek. Until we moved up north we would hear it a few nights every archery season an dad always said if it dont bother us we aren't bothering them. We did go search for tracks a few times when it sounded like it had been out in the swampy ground the night before and never found any sign aside from deer and raccoons tracks out there. But till he died he said he'd never heard any sound like that in the woods before there. The weird thing was our dog was afraid of it. He'd want in the tent any night it showed up and he had barked at bears and coyotes in the past. That thing he wanted nothing to do with.

I live in Eastern Ontario, Canada. I have heard it too. I was told it was an injured trumpeter swan, or moose during mating season, or even coywolves or coydogs. Just depends on who you tell. But it definitely doesn't feel like right when you hear it.

[@klingonsexy]

Right! It sounded like, since the humans were mimicking the creatures without knowing what they were saying, the creatures tried doing the same thing to the humans! Who knows, maybe humans whooping back is the equivalent of repeating challenges back to the police? I don't think humans should do wood-knocks, whooping, or any other mimicry in the forest because it could end really badly.

[@vaszgul736]

The 'creatures' sound like hyenas. Which legends say can mimic human speech to lure you into the bush. I can't explain how hyenas would end up there, or if there's an undiscovered species of ape or hyena, but that noise sounds like the whooping sound hyenas make to communicate with each other.

[@Truthorfib]

[@emilymitchell8464]

The most unsettling thing about the last story is thinking how many people those creatures must have stalked/killed in order to learn what sounds to make

[@mikeoxmall3847]

There no proof they've killed anyone! They didn't even try to attack those men either time they were there, or over the yrs that they returned to search. Not everything in nature is a cold blooded killer.

[@wednesdayflowers7585]

I think more than anything those creatures are giving them a warning, I’m pretty sure if they wanted to kill they would.

[@ThatGurlKJ]

I honestly didn’t think of that. Like they can mimic animals, people, didnt forms of languages from different time periods. They probably pick and choose which language they prefer to use.

[@thomashunt6000]

I think the scariest thing about the bigfoot recording is that it sounds like they're trying to mimic Elk, so are they doing so because they're trying to hunt the elk too? Or because they know it will attract hunters who they are actually trying to hunt.

[@Invalidationcoded]

I really don't think they do that. I don't think they're aggressive to humans outright. It's possible they were mimicking elk to try to lure elk, but it's also very possible they were trying to mimic humans because a few of the Native tribes in North America claim to have a historical relationship with Sasquatch. Therefore, the sounds they are making are possible attempts to mimic these Indigenous languages. It's especially moreso likely to be attempts to mimic humans because they RAN over when they saw the fire. And then carefully walked around the camp just outside of the firelight. Therefore suggesting they know exactly what that fire means: humans.
