Looking for “Furry Gold” in Tahoe
Posted by: Craig Woolheater on December 15th, 2013
Deep in the mountains of Tahoe, the Finding Bigfoot team makes some Bigfoot calls and gets a surprising response.
Co-founder of Cryptomundo in 2005.
I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
Is it me, or are the mikes they’re using never pick up what they think they heard? Is there not some way they could do a playback of what was picked up on the mikes for the audience?
Because, for me, every time they shout, “listen” or “that was something” I don’t hear a thing or it was so faint that it could have been anything including a camera man.
springheeledjack “Is there not some way they could do a playback of what was picked up on the mikes for the audience?”
That’s a good observation you’ve made there jack but o’ course the diff’rence between the human ear an’ a mike’s the human ear’s a *microphobe* stuffed as it were with all kinds o’ mental/cultural/etc filters but aboveall with an enormous spectrum of elastical interpret’ive properties which’s why diff’rent people list’nin’ t’the same thing hear diff’rent things or even the same person list’nin’ t’the same thing hears diff’rent things at diff’rent times.
Even our mood/energy/hormonal levels affect what we hear of even IF we hear.
I’ve often thought as in the example you give it’d be useful if much like police artists’re allowed t’recreate an image o’ what or who witnesses saw sound engineers were allowed t’modify actual recordings not just t’bring out sound characteristics already there but t’recreate what it was the witnesses themselves thought they heard.
Obviously there’d be potential hazards [though it’d sure as hell make some pretty borin’ shows seem far more int’restin’] but that’s equally true o’ the work o’ police artists.
But if say sound engineers could recreate t’witnesses satisfaction reasonably accurate impression o’ whatever it was they thought they heard other individuals with wider experience sets’d have the opportunity t’say “Oh no that wasn’t Sasquatch havin’ a conversation that was members o’ this pervert group a bunch o’ us belong to playin’ violins in the nude in the woods with ferrets superglued t’our nads.”

Craig love the Xbox LFC advert!

“Furry Gold”?
Oh man!
I was raised in a part o’ Liverpool that was Pimps’ Paradise.
It’s a good job springheeledjack’s observations grabbed me attention before me comedian could get loose!
