REPORT DETAIL

Description of event: My brother and I went to Bluff Creek area on the 5th of July 2004 on a Bigfoot expedition.

We arived at Onion Lake around noon and we spent all afternoon setting up camp and looking around for bigfoot evidence.

At about 9p.m, just as the last light had faded away, we heared a loud grunt from up on a small hill by our camp. The grunt can only be described as something exhaling alot of air all at onece. The grunt only lasted for a second, was very rough sounding and was very loud. My brother turned to me and said, "what the heck was that"? At the moment we heard the grunt, a deer ran down the hillside the grunt came from and ran by our camp. Then another grunt came from forest to the right of our camp at a distance we guessed was about 150 yards. Then we heard another grunt that sounded like it was 400-500 yards away out into the woods. Then we heard the grunt again fron up on the small hill by our camp. Then the grunt to the right of our camp sounded off again. Then the grunt 400-500 yards out. Then the grunt up on top the hill. Then the grunt out 400-500 yards out. It sounded like three animals of some kind were comunicating back and forth to each other. This grunting was very intense for the first hour then slowed down but we heard the grunting on and off all night. The last grunt we heard was just before first light at around 5a.m. At about 10p.m, we heard a very loud grunt that came from behind us over by a meadow by Onion Lake. That grunt sounded like it was no more than 100 yards out and was extremely loud. I turned on my three million candle spot light and shined it in the direction we heard the grunt but saw nothing.

The grunting sounds we heard that night were all lungs. Very loud that carried for hundreds of of yards. They were very rough and lasted for only a second each. If it was not for the firearms we took with us, we would have packed all of our camping equipment into our vehicle and we would have left a dust trail a half mile high and twenty miles long at the sound of the first grunt.

We are both in our mid-30's and have spent countless nights in the woods hunting in our lives and have never heard anything like these grunts before. At one point we were huddled together in the middle of our camp with guns and spotlight in hand as the grunts at one point were getting very close to our camp. We were ready to take on what ever it was makeing these grunts. The grunts were loud, rough and it sounded like what ever it was makeing them was pretty darn big. WE WERE SCARED! It had a big impact on us and we still get exited as we talk about that night today. The grunts started at about 9p.m and ended at about 5a.m. What ever it was makeing these grunts, they were nocturnal animals that were only active at night. We could also tell these animals were moving around in the forest as they grunted back and forth to one another.

Example: from grunt to grunt, the grunts location in the woods changed a little to the left or right or was a little closer or further away than the last grunt. But the strange thing was we never heard anything walking around in the forest. No branchs breaking on anything walking in the dry brush. They were traveling in the woods very quietly. The next morning we packed all of our stuff into our vehicle and we spent the next night down at Louse Camp on Bluff Creek. That night was uneventful and we returned home to Eureka, California on the 6th.

About two months later around the 1st of september, I was watching a show about Ball Pythons in India. A large 15 foot python was crawling on the forest floor as a family of monkeys were throwing a fit about the snakes presence. The monkeys were mid-sized monkeys and they looked alot like Chimpanzees except they had black faces. At one moment, a large male monkey threw a stick at the snake and grunted very loudly. The grunt was very loud, very rough and only lasted for a second. I came flying off the coutch and said," thats what we heard at Onion Lake"! This monkeys grunt on T.V was a carbin copy of what we heard on the night of July 5th, 2004 at Onion Lake. Bigfoot is thought to be a large primemate of some kind and to hear a known monkey make a grunt that sounds exactly like the grunts we heard at Onion Lake, Humboldt County California where ther is suppose to be no monkeys is very exciteing to me. We plan on makeing more Bigfoot Epeditions to Onion Lake and the Bluff Creek area in the future on our quest to find evidence of the Bigfoot/sasquatch. But we will never forget the sounds we heard comeing out of the woods of the night of July 5th, 2004. here were 2-3 deer that stayed withen 20-60 feet of our tent all night. It was as if they felt more comfortable around us, humans, than out in the woods with what ever it was makeing those grunts. They acted almost tame and were not efected by our presence at all. Also, Ive never been scared before in the woods before that night. We were both startled and disturbed by the loud sounds we heard heard that night at Onion Lake. It was hard to sleep but we tried. Every now and then that night, the still of the night was enterupted by a distant grunt. Everytime we heard a twig snap or something outside our tent we would fly up out of our sleeping bags and shine our flashlights out into the night. Sometimes it was a deer, sometimes it was the wind or nothing at all.We've tried to think of what it could have been makeing those grunts but have thought of nothing exept a Bigfoot. We thought maybe some people might have been playing around with us but the grunts were too rough and loud and went on all night till about 5a.m. We have ruled this out.The truth is we dont know what it was makeing those grunts but one thing is for certain in our minds: this strange vocalization activity was real and was very freighting to listen to. The grunts that were close in made the hair on the back of your neck stand up just by the roughness and loudness of the grunt alone. My brother and I have told people, mostly family, about our experience and have said you would have had to of been there and heard the grunts for yourself to fully get a true understanding of what we're trying to explain.We'll never forget that night.
