[@CajunJules]

They sure do!

[@silviatubausole4480]

Happy New Year 2025 Chris!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

[@YouNoy]

Love the channel 👍 Not sure I like that you're using the same song as 'The Facts By How to tho'. Love the stories tho

[@VickiMcCormick-jf5pe]

What I love most about Chris's stories is that there is never any judgement. He just tells the story. Also his compassion, to the person, who's story it is. He gets scared, and worried, all the things for the person, who went through it. I love that about him. He's just an amazing guy, and storyteller.

[@MrPumpkin8ter]

I like his hand talking, makes the story more interesting with his descriptions.

[@gloriamitchell4596]

Yeah I too like how Chris uses his hands a lot when telling a encounter story & also his emotions...But what really blows me aways how he remembers every single detail so well! He gets so excited sometimes 😉😊👍

[@jasonstein5559]

I have to agree with everyone else....Chris is an amazing human being,who actually cares about the stories he is bringing to his audience.And as stated before he feels for the people,who's stories he is presenting.Hes the coolest dude ever!! Sincerely Jason From Fort Wayne Indiana...I enjoy herbal refreshment whilst listening to Chris...As opposed to an Alcoholic bev...Peace Chris be careful out there....lol 😊

[@dedecole3358]

Well said!

[@Elizabeth-arb22]

I agree with your kind, thoughtful comment. Chris is an excellent storyteller!

[@JayReeves-ql8cr]

Those vocalizations were absolutely crazy... Wow... Great coverage

[@ChristineHK]

Boy some scary stuff. If I heard howls like that in the woods, there would be jets on my feet as I flew out of there real fast. Great stories, Chris! And Happy New Year!!

[@paulrivers7248]

The mental picture of jets on your feet made me lol😂😂😂😂😂

[@cindymcdevitt952]

Wow, the story with the woman with her dogs and horses hit me stronger than any of the stories I have heard from you yet. I am always in the forests with my dog and horses alone so I could fully visualize . Thanks for scaring the bejeebees out of me.

[@basecampchris]

I ageee...to be out there alone and experience that would be overwhelming!! wlcm! bcc

[@CajunJules]

Horses and deer will stomp their feet (well, rabbits too) as a danger warning to others. Wildlife know what's up. And what's wrong.

[@janemercier3584]

I’ve moved Randolph County area and I love exploring along the Mississippi River. I would like to know exactly where those sinkholes are on the bluff.

[@greatgrandma8693]

My second husband grow up in Southern Illinois . He has told me some weird stories about things in the forest behind the house they used to live in . They moved to Southern Illinois after he was born in 1973 . These weird things happen that he remembers in the seventy's until the late 90's when he left the area . They were a poor family and could not afford a phone . His two teenage sisters refused to go into the woods behind the house after being scared by some large creature that stunk and chased them back home . He remembered not being able to open the windows in the house at all no matter how hot it got inside, and no one was aloud to look out the window at night time. He was about nine years old heard some weird noise outside and peeked out the window anyway . He said there was a monster outside the window trying to look in . The next morning there was a deer in two pieces left hanging in the tree in the yard on a branch . His mother moved the family to a different town down there within a week . And the creature seem to follow them because it showed up at their new house . The encounters with the creature seemed to stop when his oldest sister moved out on her own and away from the area . But said even years later if he was walking or riding his bike he could get a whiff of that stinky smell and know it was the creature and would stop and turn around and return home . But the creature wasn't the only thing down there ( other weird stuff too )

[@basecampchris]

Thank you for sharing that , Great Grandma...powerful story! bcc🌲

[@reneekey3935]

I wanna hear the other weird stuff I live in southern Illinois and have for 25+ years. I've never heard of anything cool or creepy going on here and being that there is nothing to ever around here this might be fun to look into and check out the spots these things have happened so long ago. 😊

[@janohare916]

It must have been so frightening for a child growing up. I'm glad he could share his experiences with you. ❤

[@charlesmcneely5343]

Chris, I love your story telling! I am a big fan of yours. Keep them coming!

[@basecampchris]

Thank you!chris🌲🥾🌲

[@cathykohl8584]

Great job. I told my son there is big foot in Illinois. He has 2acres of land. Works on the Mississippi in the coast guard.💙🇺🇲

[@mariannesouza8326]

Good man; the Coast Guard is very selective! Semper Paratus 🇺🇸😀👍🏼🛥️

[@joethompson-tv1ss]

I also remember a terrifying story of a Sasquatch by a river and a salvage yard. This was also in S. Illinois. When I was a senior in H. school in 65, a couple was terrorized at a favorite spot in St. Louis County that kids from that area went to "watch submarine races" The girl told me they heard terrifying screams and then something huge and hairy came up and rocked their car. She had a look of terror on her face and was definitely not lying to me!

[@janohare916]

It would be great to hear the stories.

[@charlottebelieves285]

Our last stories of the year. Thanks for a year of great story telling and all the work that goes into it Chris. Happy new year to all! Just noticed you reached the 155,000 milestone. Congrats on that Chris, it is well deserved.

[@marygatdula2744]

Those howls! Wow. That would be so freaking scary to hear in person!

[@lindalarson5468]

I don't think they sound like wolves or coyotes at all. Totally unique and it raises the hair on the back of my neck. I'd be terrified if I heard that while out in the woods.

[@emmymegify]

Definitely a human-like quality to the sounds.

[@alecbaker13]

I would love to hear something like that

[@JROD082384]

The tell-tale signature is how under the spectral analysis of the sound profile, the tones are staight with no pitch variation. No other creature, not even humans, have been documented to possess the capability to produce that kind of call.

[@janohare916]

​@@alecbaker13I think I would, but the recording is pretty scary. Yikes.

[@daniskoval14]

Hi Chris! Hope you have a great New Years and with more stories to come in 2025!

[@Michelle-oc4ty]

Dude, I am so glad you're covering this. How is it you're the only one taking it serious. I live in the Shawnee National Forest, and hear them nearly every night. I have also seen them a couple times and have tried to file BFRO reports that are just overlooked and I wonder if they don't take me serious because I'm a girl. I noticed most the time people only are guys. They are not aggressive, and I think they have amicable relationships with dogs. My dog used to always bark at them, and they used to bark back. Sometimes they whistle in the middle of the night like they were canaries, and I was scared that night. They were close, and they were throwing pebbles at my door and windows. But they love music, so I turned some music on from the TV and they stopped. I will also say, they don't seem threatening, however, just know that bigfoots are HUGE. They have HUGE ARMS too. The most recent time I saw him, I caught him by surprise. I was listening for him and there was nothing. I went in and thought I should leave cookies out to feed them.. when I went back out, I saw it approaching and I didn't know it was a Bigfoot and it froze when it saw me. So I said "Watcher, I have cookies for you if you want them" and I was looking around, but side-eyeing him and saw IT WAS a Bigfoot, on all 4s, and it started creeping up to me, and he had HUGE hands. So I wrapped up the talking to get back inside the safety of my house. I actually LOVED IT!! Also, they yell, scream, and grunt a lot. And they sound like gorillas too!! They're amazing!! Also, I'm not so afraid of them, but I respect them. Thank you so much for covering this. Also, at the end, I was thinking that sounds like are bigfoots, and looked and it said Illinois Forests. It's so cool, isn't it. Keep up your work!! Love it!!

[@Michelle-oc4ty]

Also, the last time I saw it was just this past May, in 2024. And I still hear them about every night!!

[@basecampchris]

Thank you for the update! 🌲🌲🌲

[@tiopolis]

Great continuity with these stories, Chris. Those sounds were indeed strange. With tongue in cheek, I can imagine two independent Bigfoot groups out in two different parts of the woods, attempting to draw out Sasquatch with their Bigfoot hoops. Group A gives their best Bigfoot impression and quickly hears a response from the other side of the wood. Groups B heard a series of hoops reverberate throughout the woods and so responded with a series of their own hoops. Both sides non-the-wiser. Meanwhile, back on the other side of the mountain, the Sasquatch family shake their heads and laughs at the human's pitiful attempts. LOL!

[@emmymegify]

😂😂

[@gregcavalieri4920]

Those howls are incredible... erie, and haunting. Obviously, a person could not physically make those kinds of sounds... that's just not man-made by any means.

[@bethbordeaux4030]

Wow! We got three great stories today! Chris I could listen to you talk all day! You do your research and get so familiar with the story you tell it’s almost like you went through it yourself. Tk u for another wonderful Sunday evening…

[@freelanceminddrift]

Those calls at the end were bone chilling 👀 Thanks Chris, another great story and atmosphere 👍

[@michaelgawel5823]

Best storyteller on the internet! Much love Chris!

[@bobbobsaltynationberserker7685]

Facts how to hunt Steve's isdall channels better. Chris thinks so to hell he ripped Steve intro and added it to his video

[@rovan26]

@bobbobsaltynationberserker7685 OMG get a grip! Steve didn't write the song, Reed Mathis did. It's called Stinson. Are you going to harass every channel that uses a song from KZbin's free music library??🤦‍♀️

[@rovan26]

Thanks for the terrifying stories, Chris! A few years ago, I heard loud howls/roars similar to the audio you shared. It happened on PA State Gamelands right after sunset. It wasn't coyotes or bear. It must've had huge lungs. My dog and I were terrified. It sounded like an elephant, lion, and a T Rex mixed together. We ran to my car as fast as we could, locked the doors, and got out of there! I've never been so scared or ran out of the woods before or since. It's why I started looking into this subject.

[@WarrenHolly]

Have you returned there since. Don't forget to record on your phone 🤳🏾

[@sammuis01]

😂​@@WarrenHolly

[@janohare916]

Wow, sounds terrifying. I believe you.

[@alyssstout8112]

Wow…….. I have to comment about the howls. I am a professional vocalist but mostly retired now. I started out in opera but eventually sang with the LA Master Chorale and toured for many years with smaller classical choral groups. The reason I’m giving my background is because of my knowledge of the human voice and one of the things I find interesting about these howls is how huge the sound is. Usually, in the music vocal world, larger sounds are made by larger people (not always, but usually,…..a good example being Luciano Pavarotti.) I guess what I’m getting at is that these sounds were made by VERY LARGE creatures! Not coyotes. Not wolves. Not mountain lions. Not elk in rut…etc. There are definitely human-like elements to these sounds. For instance, certain notes on the musical scale can be pinpointed in some of these vocalizations, just like those found in the human voice and most musical instruments. It’s very exciting to hear these, Chris, and of course , your stories tonight are top notch SCARY. I think it would be fascinating to have an analysis done by an expert on the human voice as these are by far the best audios I’ve heard of presumed Bigfoot vocalizations. My own take on these sounds is that are not made by any known animal in the US.

[@basecampchris]

I really appreciate your input and experience as I AGREE these sounds are very powerful and intriguing!! bcc

[@Lostfalls]

@alyssstout8112 Do you hear a singing (or almost harmony?) like quality to the howls in the background of the main howl at times? I kept thinking I heard that but then would think it was in my mind like maybe I was trying to apply human characteristics to something that clearly was not human…

[@enlighten274]

​@@Lostfalls yes I noticed it.reminds me of whale sounds slightly. The way they were in harmony .

[@sasqwatch35mm]

As a hunter I fully agree with your observation, these are not K9s, the lung volume is waaaaay bigger, somewhat closer to the moose or even bigger. Btw on the background you can actually hear how wolves are trying to catch up several times, totally different pitch and sound. That’s freaking scary, Ive never heard anything like these howls !! Chilling !!!

[@alyssstout8112]

@@LostfallsYes, I do. And that’s what I’m referring to when I mentioned the “notes” I hear within the howls like that of a musical scale. Besides being a haunting sound they are somewhat beautiful.

[@kaytalk9448]

I love hearing Illinois stories. Helps me feel not so crazy after seeing one in Central Illinois in 1978....

[@nancymclaughlin7626]

Cool audio! I've never heard such extended recordings. Anyone who has heard wolves howl, will know that audio is not wolves.

[@silkeluken9919]

omg those howls made every hair on my body stand up, I can't even begin to imagine how it must feel to hear them live, beautiful and terrifying!!! 😳

[@joeybobbie1]

That was Great Chris. I Love it when you have a new Video Posted. When you’re in the Woods Camping and your Dog is shaking violently it’s so Scared, you know you have a problem. I always listen to my Dogs intuition. They sense danger, and they also sense if someone can’t be trusted. You should always pay attention to your Dogs intuition Folks. Thanks Chris, I really hope you carry a Firearm with you on your Hikes and Camping Trips.

[@basecampchris]

I agree, dogs have a sixth sense, always good to listen to them. 👍

[@Michelle-oc4ty]

You don't need a firearm in Illinois for Bigfoot researching. They scare dogs and people, but I assure you, they're not going to hurt you or your dogs.

[@WarrenHolly]

Any animal for that matter.

[@timme2844]

When i was a kid in Southern Illinois living in a small town about 50-60 miles back east of Murphy i along with a group of kids just enjoying our summer vacation, we witnessed the Big Muddy Monster! That was in 73 as well.

[@richardverbal4158]

Im 69 and have lived in murphysboro my whole life. I was in high school in 73 and remember these stories and knew all these people, but ive never heard any of this screaming or howling ever. Im not saying ive never heard weird noises while out in the woods or out fishing but not these noises. I have heard some very intense very deep growling a few times, that was unsettling! As far as the big muddy monster, hes still a popular figure around here, but no sightings for years ! But theres always been some kind of story about things going on around S. Illinois. My mother worked at the forest office for a time in the 80s-90s, and said people came in all the time with stories of happenings in the forest....many involving their tents beind attacked and ripped up thru the night with alot of growling and roaring heard. Some thought bears, some mountain lions (usually known as panthers around here), stuff like that ! But who knows for sure.

The bit of wind blowing the back wall of your hot tent, gave the stories an extra benefit of spookiness! Could even hear the wind pick up in the background. Cool stuff. The slime was seriously gross! The audio was creepy, can definitely hear two of them, it was mournful at times. Poor Rebecca, and her shepherd was terrified. Goodness, hope the horses were ok. Thank you Chris for this interesting variety. Happy Hiking New Year.

[@johnclark1469]

Chris aside from the genuine way you convey these stories it’s nice when you add the location clips and, in this case, clips of the actual police reports to add Creedence to the reality of what you’re talking about. I actually paused the video to read the report and it was very intriguing to read it. what’s cool about your channel Is that these are not just stories they are accounts. In other accounts on your channel, the authenticity is enhanced by playing the personal interviews as well. So I really appreciate your effort to add dates, times, names, maps and pics to these hair raising fascinating stories. Inspires me to get out there. Thanks, John

[@sasqwatch35mm]

Yep, these hows are definitely provoking wolves/coyotes, you can distinguish them easily

[@funfitsol]

There is something about the howls that you just know they are not wolves or any other animals. I’ve personally heard it myself in the forest too close for comfort.

[@Mach11976]

I had a Uncle from Murphysboro Illinois. Henry Illinois along the Illinois River is fantastic habitat in those river bottoms. I put underground fiber optic cables in there 4 years ago and it's creepy as hell along that River. Hunter's and Farmers around here are very tight lipped about what they see.

Seen one? if you don’t mind me asking

[@kristiechesebro8363]

Absolutely....... walking in a NE Illinois subdivision with my 2 very large dogs. They were terrified. It's what opened the door to my cryptic research. And since I grew up by Bray Road in Elkhorn, Wisconsin (The Beast of Bray Rd).......we've told stories for years. That area isn't far from Gray's Lake, which was where I visually saw this one beast. It confirmed encounters I had throughout my life of being followed or possibly preyed upon, without realizing, as a country raised farm girl. I have photos of insane foot tracks, and can tell some crazy stories now.

[@choburen5498]

There is no way those vocalisations could be done by a Wolf, to get those long deep guttural tones you would need to have a huge pair of lungs. There is a clip on youtube of a trucker in Canada parked up overnight hearing those same sounds, but literally yards away from his cab. Hearing that alone at night would give you a primal fear!

I listened to that video on YT with the trucker and the sounds are exactly the same as we hear on this video!! Also, check out Thinker Thunker and how he proves the sounds the trucker heard were not wolves. Very interesting indeed!! As for me, I am a believer and in my opinion no other animal or man could make such a sound! 👣

Where I live, there was a string of horse & cattle mutilations from several sasquatch back in the late 70's, just outside of town. They were seen by several people over a span of a few months and several miles.

Chris, you are a brave man to be sitting with your back to the tent entrance telling this story! 😂

[@joeybobbie1]

I know right. He goes out in the Woods Camping by himself, and tells Scary Stories! I would Scare myself enough to where any sound at all from the Woods would send me Scooting outa there!

I live in Equality Illinois in southern Illinois. My front door is less than a mile from the Shawnee National forest . Most people do not realize the terrain that we have alot of forest,caves and two larger rivers meet the Ohio and Mississippi..Bigfoot highways.

[@basecampchris]

Rivers are natural wildlife corridors...makes sense BF would use them. C

Rebecca's story was absolutely terrifying! I always love hearing stories like that from our elders ❤ I believe every single thing they say..I feel sad that she sold her horses and became so traumatized 😢 I'd be the same way if I experienced that!! I live in Pennsylvania and heard some strange things happen in the woods when I was younger quite a few times and I know for a fact it was no animal or person. Thanks for sharing these stories Chris I really enjoy your channel 😊

[@kaluligroove]

Awesome stories Chris. I got a keep on hiking hoodie for Christmas and I love it. I got a keep on hiking sticker in the mail today. Thanks and Happy New Year! 😎

I used to venture up to Murphysboro with my Dad to the hobby shop Chris ! Fascinating stories , never heard anything about any bigfoot stories from there , Love it ! We always took the highway there and the old road back , it ran along the big muddy ! I told you last time I was born in Carbondale Illinois! Happy New Year Chris !

[@charoverturf7750]

13:20 That's the intro music to Steve Isdahl's How to Hunt channel. Just surprised to hear that familiar tune.

[@mf5985]

Uhm.... nope. Those sounds are terrifying! I have just crossed Illinois off my to-do list! 😮😮😮

[@lisajones2992]

That is some of the best vocal captures of Bigfoot I’ve ever heard.wow.at one point there’s at least two or three “ singing” together and imitating each other. Just astonishing. You can feel the vibrations. Crazy. The song of thier peoples, lol.

[@basecampchris]

Haunting...!
