I am the founder of the British Columbia Sasquatch Organization . One of my key members caught this recording .
I can assure you , we have no coyotes on Vancouver Island . We do have Wolves .
This particular area has been heavily researched by the investigator who recorded this particular recording .
We have hours (days) of recordings from this spot . The investigator had a possible close encounter one night in this area . The vehicle she was sitting in was approached by something which she did not manage to see only heard . Knocks and a pretty good looking foot print (picture taken) were also seen/heard in this area .
Initially an area close to this recording spot was first investigated by myself and a fellow investigator back in the late spring-early summer of 2010. We had found several large tracks in a gravel pit going up and over the gravel pit and in to the woods and down toward a river . We lost the tracks once what ever left them walked out of the gravel pit and on to the moss in the forest .
This recording was in a spot with in 2 klms of the tracks we found a few years prior .
I had several discussions with the investigator about this recording . We mutually decided to give a copy to John Bindernagel and Cliff Barackman . We also gave Cliff permission to post this recording on his site .
My final conclusion as to what was recorded …..I’m not sure what it was , the evidence obtained from this area by the investigator working this spot and the evidence obtained by myself a few years prior does point toward a Sasquatch(es) in this area based on the knowledge at hand . Whether or not this sound was a Sasquatch can not be proven beyond a doubt . I reiterate , this evidence coupled with the other evidence from this same area (foot prints , knocks, possible approach and calls ) does give us a strong reason to believe we are in an active Sasquatch area .
In no way have I come forward or anyone in my organization to say this recording is with out a doubt a Sasquatch . We take our investigations very serious and don’t jump to conclusions .
Take what you will from this recording . It is exactly what it is .

the MAJOR FLAW I see here (and with a lot of these videos and recordings) is this…
the people recording it, are the ones making the decisions on what it is.
right there, the game is over. thats BIAS.
you can’t get an objective answer when you have bias. its not humanly possible.
send the recording to a lab, don’t try to influence them in any way and let them see what it is. They can test it vs other known animals and come to an unbiased conclusion based on the DATA.
Thats why supplements and other stuff require a DOUBLE BLIND study to prove stuff works or not.
Until we see this happen with audio like this (which sounds pretty cool btw)… you can’t say anything one way or the other.
I mean why can’t that be another person making bigfoot calls? or using a recording from somewhere else of what they think is a bigfoot?
you don’t know.
Hello,
I think that bias is and argument that can be applied to any form of exploratory science. Everything is theory until proven or dis-proven, even many well accepted theories are based on things we can only measure to a finite degree. Until a better method of measurement comes along that disproves our previous beliefs or theory. I think Sasquatch fall under this same category, we have many observation in the form or recording, eye witness accounts, foot print cast and other behavioral evidence. This can lead us to a theory of Sasquatch existing and supply the motivation to look for more evidence, which I think it what makes the topic so interesting and exciting.
This recording for instance should be submitted for analysis to see if it can be debunked as a known species in the area. If it is debunked we will satisfy mainstream science and we know the truth, but if it can’t be identified we still know nothing. What we will have is the affirmation to move forward and continue our search until our theory can be proven. Thanks for the opportunity to comment,
Can’t agree more, dcon. “My final conclusion as to what was recorded …..I’m not sure what it was” is FAR too didactic! How DARE they come to such a rash conclusion.
Do you ever read the stuff you write? Do you even read the text? Seems to me like all the prejudgement is on your side.
Wouldn’t “I DOUBT THIS!” be sufficient? Need you make a fool of yourself every single day?
For my part, I don’t think this sounds like a wolf. Or Rolf. Or Golf.
i don’t know what it is… i am not competent enough or an expert enough (not even remotely) to know… I’d probably be the last person on earth to know what that is.
just being honest here.
but I do know that there is bias there. The people getting the recordings are for one, going out LOOKING for something… bias… then they are making judgements and decisions on what it is… bias again.
send it to a pro and don’t tell them anything, like i said and let them tell you wtf it is. good or bad.
So… Bigfoot researchers should just go out to record, not thinking of Bigfoot?
Sounds kinda silly to me. How about you?
Goodfoot – lol… that makes zero sense dude.
They shouldn’t be the ones making judgements or decisions on what it is. They’re going out looking for something so they record something they don’t know, then it immediately becomes “it’s a bigfoot”.
which is comical.
send it in for a blind test and let a real pro tell you what it is, or isn’t.
thats the whole point of this. The people recording it WANT to find something, they are the last people who should be determining what it is.
It’s like saying you just found the cure for cancer… and yes, it is the cure.. go by my pills.
If that was the case, there would be no FDA.
Any supplement to be taken anywhere remotely serious requires a DOUBLE BLIND study.
Why should this recording or any others be any different?
You have the youtube dude who’s a bigfoot guy with BIAS also “analyzing” (and I use that term VERY loosely with him)… videos and audios… but again, he has bias.
you’re never going to get an unbiased answer with ANY of these people.
Great, they recorded SOMETHING.
Send it in without anything else, let the pro analyze it and tell you what it is. They can check it vs known animals.
Anyone with half a brain would agree. You’ve gotta be a complete moron to think otherwise… sorry.
Sorry. Guess I was just born a complete moron. I wish I could be smart like you!
Goodfoot – you have zero case here…. no legs to stand on.
its like pat riley now saying the miami heat are going to contend for a title.. he loves the team… blah blah blah.
OF COURSE he’s gonna say that! He built the team. he put the team together.
he has bias.
same exact thing here.
If you have a stronger case than mine… the forum is all yours dude…. state your position and prove it. 🙂
