Is there a bigfoot in Oregon?
The
sounds of cries and roars can be heard throughout the Umatilla Indian
Reservation near Pendleton, The Oregonian reports Jan. 25. The
reservation is home to about 1,500 people across 178,000 acres in
Oregon’s Blue Mountains. The possible Bigfoot noises were heard near an
old reservation community center just north of Wilhorse Resort and
Casino. Residents first started hearing the noises last month, and
rumors quickly spread that it could be a mythical ape-like humanoid
creature, Bigfoot.
Bigfoot, also known as Sasquatch, is the name given to the mysterious ape-like creature that some people believe inhabits forests, mainly in the Pacific Northwest region of North America. Scientists discount the existence of Bigfoot, usually described as a large, hairy, bipedal humanoid, and consider it to be a combination of folklore, misidentification, and hoax.
Among
some Native American tribes in the Pacific Northwest, however, the
Bigfoot is not to be taken lightly. Stories about the hominid hairy
creatures roaming the forests of the region have been passed down from
generation to generation in some tribal cultures, so when the screeches
first drifted over the swampland, it did not take much to convince the
locals that those were the cries of Bigfoot.
According
to the Oregon Live, the eerie late-night sounds, which range from
high-pitched screams to basso profundo roars, started in November and
have caused bigfoot rumors to spread. Several reservation unit tenants
and home owners call authorities to report the strange sounds. One man
even claimed his dog was too afraid to go outside.
One
said the cries were made by "a young Bigfoot that had got separated
from the rest of his clan." The howls also make some believe the animal
making those noises are foxes or a female coyote.
So
far no one has been able to nail down exactly what the source is of the
spooky sounds. For decades many have believed Bigfoot does, in fact,
live in Oregon within its thick forests. Reported Examiner...
Carl
Sheeler, wildlife program manager for the Walla Walla and Cayuse
tribes, said the strange noises may just be from animals known to live
in the area.
But some of
those who have heard the sounds don't agree with Sheeler. "Foxes do
sound creepy," said Sylvia Minthorn. "But it's not the same sound, not
even close."
Did
Oregon residents within the reservation actually hear Bigfoot?
Enthusiasts of the creature think that they are getting closer to
finding the elusive Bigfoot, and sightings continue. Late last year, a
group of hikers in Utah encountered what they thought was a bear, but
then the animal turned and stood on two legs, looking very much like
Bigfoot.
Sasquatch Watch Canada posted a recording of the howls to Youtube. Listen to them below:

Well not really strange at all, there are a lot of noises on that recording but I am
in the United Kingdom and your shrieks etc, sound no different for our small red fox's. I use to have a family of them living out the rear and when they had cubs they would play in my garden at night..
There is nothing erie about the recording at all.
