1. Recorded in South Central Louisiana on 3-24-07 at 10:23PM

This night we dropped off 2 drop boxes in the South end of the target area at around 19:30 hours, our plan for the evening was to call blast from the North end starting at around 22:00 and if nothing was going on there we would come back to the South end and setup at some point after mid-night. While we were at location number one we captured something walking around and it would eventually come right to the box and begin pulling on it. The box itself was wedged between a tree and vine, which held it securely in place. In this recording you will here some tapping, which we at first thought was something tapping the microphone directly, however on a return visit to this spot we realized that what we were hearing tapped was a pipeline that runs above ground at this location. You will also hear some weird swishing sounds just before the pipe is rapped on. Right after this it turns its attention to the recorder box. Could it be human? We can't rule that out completely, here is what we know about the scenario regarding the odds of it being human, there were no cars parked along the roads for a person to be associated with, either at the drop time or when we did return later to the Southern location to call blast. This recorder was located close enough to the gravel road to hear if a vehicle would have driven up/past, this was listened for closely and not found in the recording. The recorder was situated about 20 yards off of an ATV trail, it was well after dark (approximately 10:20PM). Whatever this was hung around the area for over an hour and can be heard off in the distance walking around, after it left the box, occasionally breaking sticks as it moves.

2. Recorded in South Central Louisiana on 3-25-07 at 1AM

This recording was made near a Pipeline clear-cut that runs thru the target area, our original intent was to walk in a good distance up the pipeline and place it well away from the road. But due to spring rains the pipeline was flooded with water creating a large puddle, which we did not wish to wade thru at the time. So we settled for a location closer to the road,(perhaps 150ft off of the road) the puddle had created a peninsula with all sides surrounded except from the road. So we placed the box in a tree on the peninsula. On this recording something approached the box after crossing the water, if you listen carefully you will hear it as it runs thru/across the large puddle. The time for this was around 1AM, by this time we have moved to the South end of the research area and are setup to call blast about 1.5 miles away from this location, near the end of this recording you will hear us call blasting in the distance. Near the end you will hear the creature carefully prepare to re-cross the water then suddenly charge across. We would submit that a human would carefully and deliberately cross this puddle in the limited light of 1AM, whatever this was had a different style. We had passed this exact spot less than an hour prior to this and there were no cars in the area either then or later when we returned to base camp when we passed by the location again. In case you are wondering the distance between this box and the one above was 1.2 miles both of these were captured on the same night in the research area we are working in Louisiana.

3. Recorded in East Texas in the Neches River corridore on 5-19-07 at 9:39PM

This recording was made about 2.5 miles west of the Neches River, on property that is used as part of a hunting lease. They had recently clear-cut an area that included a good size hill, so we setup with our large parabolic dishes and call blaster at the top of the hill. This clear-cut gave us a great vista to the West with the closest wood line being about 300 yards away at the bottom of the hill. We put out 4 drop boxes this night, 3 along the wood line to our west and one up on a hill side to our back (East). This recording starts at approx. 21:38 hours we had call blasted the Ohio Howl at 21:00. This capture from the recording starts several minutes after we noticed movement close to the microphone, it gradually moved closer, until finally it starts a direct bipedal approach on the box and walks right up. The creature spends several minutes checking out the box then it will move in to start sniffing it! Could this be human? We doubt it, for several reasons, there were no indications that there were any humans anywhere near us, as in parked cars, ATV noises, voices, gun fire, heavy equipment, music. No nearby houses and no hunting season. Would a human sniff a plastic refrigerator box with obvious mic and recorder inside? And finally, we had direct line of sight to this box location, we feel that a human would have had to use some type of illumination to navigate this area, we did not see any flashlights being used.

4. Recorded in South Central Louisiana on 3-22-08 at 5AM.

Recording number 4 was captured back in our research area in Louisiana. There were 7 people in our camp this night and all were in their tents or cars sleeping at 5AM when this was recorded by a drop box recorder placed just at the edge of camp not more than 15 yards from the nearest tent. The next day we found and cast a print also in close proximity to our camp. This recording exhibits something walking in the vacinity of the recorder, to us it sounds bipedal. We had recorded incidents of this nature in this area before just not right at our base camp.

5. Recorded in East Texas on the morning of 5-4-08 at 12:38AM

Recording number 5 was captured in one of our research areas in East Texas. This recorder was baited to see if we could pull anything to it in this area using a aromatic food bait, we had tried some other forms of baiting such as Glo-sticks in this area before without much success. What you will hear is something walking on what sounds like 2 feet, it will approach and start sniffing in the area of the recorder which was hanging in a tree at a height 6 1/2 feet. This was recorded on remote private property at 12:38AM and was the second night we were onsite.

6. Recorded in East Texas on the morning of 5-4-08 at 3:36AM

Recording number 6 was captured in one of our research areas in East Texas. The full incident runs 35 minutes and has been split into 4 files of roughly 9 minutes each. The movement that you will hear as the creature approaches and when leaving sounds pretty bipedal to us, we feel that there is no doubt that the following can be eliminated as the possible culprit: deer, hog, coyote, armadillos, rabbits, skunks, squirrels, opossums as well as all known birds in the area. The recorder placed at this location was hanging at 6 1/2 feet off the ground and only one researcher in the party knew its exact location. Peanut Butter was used as an attractant and was smeared into the bark of the tree 5 to 6 feet off the ground just below the recorder location. Given the remoteness of the property, the time of night and that there is only one way in, other than the river itself we feel this makes it highly unlikely to be a human. We will let the reader decide how willing a human might be to ingest a food substance from an unknown source off of a random tree in a remote section of private property at 3:36AM. The five files below consist of the cut down version that we have had on the site for the last year and the full audio cut into 4 parts. Parts 1-4 are about 9 megabytes each so will need a couple of minutes to download and start depending on your connection speed. In addition to the walking and coughing, in part 4 at 19 seconds there is a water slam like the others that can be heard on the Wood Knock page and you can hear the creature licking the bait off the tree during which you can hear the roughness of this creatures tongue.
