Warren County, New York
August 1992 and 1993
After reading about the Warren County, New York, report dated August 4, 2000; I would like to convey a message to the author that I too have heard Bigfoot in the woods near where he was. I have had 2 experiences over the years and I am looking for people interested in searching that area.
Warren County, New York
August 1992 and 1993
Sabbathday Point
I heard the vocalizations during a week+ long period in August 92 and May 93. Both occurred at Sabbathday Point, Lake George, New York where we owned log cabin on the water. The sounds would start any time from 11 pm to 3 am. The sounds usually beginning with a whistling and thumping sound.

The first time I heard the noise it sounded far away, on the top of the mountain behind our house. But within a matter of 30 seconds it was about 200 feet away on the main road, Route 9N. A rock cliff rims Bloomer Mountain with a large boulder field heading down towards the main road. It is impossible for anything to climb down under an hour. There must have been 2 calling to each other. It screamed very very loudly, with chatters, squeals and what sounded like a woman's laughter mixed with crying. THE HAIR ON THE BACK OF MY NECK would stand up! It was unlike any other sound I have ever heard. I was gripped with extreme fear.

Although I managed to eventually shine a flashlight out into the night, I saw nothing. My wife never heard a thing, however my 3-year-old daughter once woke up crying during a vocalization, and said that the sound of the creature had woke her up. I found it strange that she said "creature" and not an animal or a man.

Also about 15 years ago, just south of this area, I was in a canoe with my younger brother out for a sunset paddle when we both saw something strange standing on the shore. We were at the base of Deer Leap Mountain, which has a large boulder field running down to the lake. We were about 200 feet out when we saw a thin, brown haired creature standing erect on the shore about the size of a small man. Its body was facing sideways from us but its head was looking directly across its left shoulder at us.

We did not feel secure to move any closer than we were. It had a strange grin with piercing eyes, almost a maniacal look. It had long thin arms and did not move as we slowly paddle by. It was not dark yet, the far shore was still lit by the sun but our shore was now in shadow. As we turned around to go home we noticed it had climbed a dead pine tree near by, and moved out on to the crook of the branch. As it was griping onto the branch, it cocked it's head towards us, starred at us, then turned it's head down between it's front arms and into it's chest. At this point it became camouflaged with the tree. If you did not know it was there you would have thought it was a large lump of branch.

A foot note to this, is a story I read about a thing in New Hampshire called a Wood Devil, it was known to the old hunters to be found in the forest and when ever a person came near it froze, blending in with the trees around it.

And add to this that last summer I had mentioned to a employee at a near by YMCA camp that I had heard Bigfoot when she interrupted me to tell me about a thing she saw that she named "Monkeyboy". She said it was small, with brownish hair covering it's body. She and another friend saw it hopping at a lakeside pavilion. It looked at them and hopped up onto the steps then off behind a small wall. And when it looked directly at them and they screamed and ran away. It was the size of a small man. This spot is 2 miles north of where I heard the noises and about 3 miles from where I saw the creature on the shore/ Another mile or so to Bucks Mountain.

I am interested in searching this area with others that are serious about a search.
However, I would never search alone. I can be reached at 413-298-4303. and [email protected] Sincerely, Hinckley Waitt

I heard wood knocks when we were at Schroon...

[huntny30]

OBSERVED: My brother and I were canoeing on Lake George, in N.Y state at about sunset. We headed south for 10 minutes to an area known as Deer Leap. At lake side it is a boulder strewn area with cliffs rising 600 feet above the shoreline. As we were begining to come on to this area we saw something standing on shore. It was brownish in color and standing straight up with it's arms at it's side. It was about the size of a small man and very thin. Its body was facing south, looking down the shorline when it suddenly turned its head directly towards us and looked very intently. We whispered to each other and watched it while it watched us. We were 2 grown men paddling parallel to the shore and about 200 feet out but we could not summon up the courage to go in closer. This thing had a strange look, almost a crazed grin. Like a giant Lemur. The sun was set now as we continued to watch it in the shadows of the mountain. As it was standing next to an old, dead pine tree, it turned and climbed, sloth-like up the tree about 20 feet to the first and only large limb and onto the crook of a branch. We paddled back around and as we approached it again cocked its head directly at us, after a minute or so it turned its face downward into its body and became as if it were a part of the tree. Just a lump on the crook of the branch. You would not know it was there unless you saw it move. I have been in this area all my life and have never seen anything like this and have not seen it since.
In my searchings I have found reference to a creature found in the woods of New Hampshire. Back in the 30's they called it the "Wood devil or Stick Men". The one thing incommon is they are able to blend into trees to avoid being seen.

ALSO NOTICED: It did not make any sounds.

OTHER WITNESSES: 2 witnesses, 30 and 35 years old . Canoeing. Swimming.

OTHER STORIES: I have not heard of another story like this one but I did submit a "bigfoot sound" report that I heard near this location back in 92 and 93.
Also there is mentioned way back in the 1700's, in a report by Roger and his Rangers that "as they were traveling in Vermont from an attack on a French Fort in Canada, they were followed by a thing they called Old Slippery Skin ( a skinny thing) which threw rocks and branches down on them from the ridges above the valley floor they were traveling on. It did't make much of an impression on them , it seemed to be just a pest.

TIME AND CONDITIONS: sunset

ENVIRONMENT: Boulders, lakeside. towering cliffs near by deep water and pine trees.

LOCATION DETAILS: Off of route 9W in lake George Region

NEAREST TOWN: Lake George, Sabbathday Point

OBSERVED: I was near Sabathday Point in the lake george region. I am not much of an outdoorsman so bare with me on the descriptions, terrain etc. After researching this area, I saw there have been a few sightings in this area. Which is why I am submitting this.

It was aprox. 3:30am when I awoke. 2 friends and I were in a tent. 5 Other friends had a cabin about 1 mile from us. We decided to "rough it" as much as we could. I went outside the tent to make a phone call on my cell phone (I know, really roughing it) My brother gets off work at 3am. I needed to call him because I needed a ride in the moring. I was about 20ft from the tent. My friend yelled "Im trying to sleep" so I walked another 20ft from the tent. After I spoke to my brother I saw the time was 3:48. I then went to go to the bathroom. Thats when I heard a noise comming from in front of me. I was easily scared as I am not used to being in the woods very often. I stepped back a little and I saw aprox 60ft in front of me a figure comming up a slight incline in the terrain. My first thought was. "Ok, bear in front of me run." as I went to run I noticed it had turned slightly and the one main characteristic I noticed was no snout like a bear would have. More like a human face although I couldnt see features. More of an outline. This really scared me. I ran to the tent and told my friends. They were sure it was a bear and we waited 10min before going back to the cabin. I later realized that this "thing" that I saw had a Human shape. I got a look at it for maybe 5 seconds. And like I said I am not much of an outdoorsman and probally wouldnt know a bear from an ape while in the woods....But what I saw was something unusual. It looked like a huge hairy man walking up a hill (fairly blunt but best way I could describe it). I was thinking it could be a bear on its hind legs, but It wasnt staggering. it was WALKING. The thought of "Bigfoot" didnt enter in my mind until a few days later and I have to say I dont believe in such tales that i see in supermarket tabloids. But, whatever it was, it sure was a unique experience.

OTHER WITNESSES: Sleeping. I was the only one to see the sighting.

TIME AND CONDITIONS: Sabathday Pt. Adirondacks, Lake George. Exactly 3:48am. Weather was fair

[huntny30]

NEAREST ROAD: route 9N

OBSERVED: I was hiking alone 2 miles south of Sabbath Day point Lake George just off route 9N. The date was March 31st 2006. I was near a small body of water when I heard odd sounds about three hundred yards away. The sounds were from a large creature. They were "sing song" in pattern and unlike anything I have ever heard. The creature appeared to by "talking" to itself as there was only one creature. It did not sound angry and lasted for about two minutes. The sound change in pitch and fluctuation. I was not scared but did leave quickly. I have since studied sounds of coyotes and found no similarties at all. There were no yelps, barks or growls. I can not duplicate the sounds. It is like nothing I have ever heard in the woods or else where. My wife and I went back two weeks later and found no signs of anything out of the norm.

ALSO NOTICED: None. I have been back to the spot many times and have heard nothing like it again.

OTHER WITNESSES: Only me. I was eating lunch.

OTHER STORIES: Yes. Several sightings and sounds over the years have been reported within one mile of my report.

TIME AND CONDITIONS: The time was around noon. It was a calm day with plenty of sunshine.

ENVIRONMENT: Adirondack woods near a small pond.

[huntny30]

NEAREST ROAD: Rt. 9

OBSERVED: My friend and I were hiking on a trail called Five Mile Mtn. We were at the top of the Mtn when I had this eary feeling about the woods ahead. I have never felt like that before in the woods during daylight. We started to smell rain in the air and it was getting chilly quick. We were already 2 hours into our hike at least. Anyways, we stuck with our gut feeling and starting heading back. About ten minutes later, a big rock came flying from the left heading towards the right and hit another rock and made a loud crack. The rock must have rolled for at least 5 seconds afterwards. I could tell by the sound the rock made when it hit, that is was a big rock. And the fact that it rolled for such a long distance afterward. It had to be someone or something very strong. We stuck around the area for another 5-7 minutes to see if we could see or hear anything but no luck. I had already known that this area has had its own encounters with bigfoot so I suspected that this was what it was. I decided to start throwing rocks back into the woods in the direction of the 1st rock as we continued walking back. I continued this down the trail. I was hoping to get a rock in return, and before long, I did. Another rock came in our direction. They were not thrown directly at us but above us and behind us. We were in shock. I just couldn't believe that someone or something was throwing rocks back at me. I continued throwing rocks into the woods as I walked and the rocks were returned. I felt as if it were playful at first, but it then became aggressive. We came to a pond and the trail wrapped around part of the pond. We heard a tree moving but it sounded like it was being shaken. the wind was definitely not making the tree make that sound. Keep in mind that something has been rock throwing for at least 20 minutes now. We stopped in this area and was trying to see where the noise was coming from. I couldn't see a thing. I decide to take a step in the direction of the noise and I felt my stomach drop. I knew there was something there. I couldn't see it but I could feel it. It was one of those feelings you just have to have yourself to understand. I moved back onto the trail and I decided to pick up a few rocks and start throwing them in that direction to see if I could get a return rock. It didn't take long before one came flying back. I decided to be brave again and try to step off the trail and throw a few rocks closer towards where the rocks were being thrown at me. This time I had a rock the size of a baseball. As I was throwing my rock, a rock bigger than mine was also in the air coming towards me. It came extremly close to my head. My friend was on the trail behind me so she had a clear view of the rock coming towards me. The rock hit a tree behind me and bounced onto the trail. There was no denying that these were not rocks now! The proof was there. It seemed that whatever they were, they were getting annoyed with me. The rocks were now being thrown directly at me instead of around me. We decided to knock it off for a little while and get the heck out of there. about 5 minutes down the way, I suspected that we were being followed out of the woods. So to see if something was still there, I picked up some rocks again. I started throwing them one after another without stopping. I must have thown about 5 or 6 when a rock came soaring down from the high cliff at us. I said to my friend "see I told you they were still here." I knew that whatever it was, was just as curious about me as I was of it. They continued to fire a few more rocks off the cliff at me; they were definitely trying to hit me! I looked so hard into the woods but I couldn't see a thing. I thought maybe it was just a person, but I don't believe that is was. Especially from the high cliff. A person would have been noticed easliy. The last but not least rock was the icing on the cake. I was not even expecting it. We were walking and talking for a few minutes and I was not throwing any rocks when a rock the size of a softball came down and wizzed past our heads. We both ducked and covered our heads out of instinct. If we did not duck, one of us would have been hit. That was it for me. I knew it was time to get out of those woods and stop messing around. It was an expierence we will never forget. I have no idea what is in those woods up there but that was the wierdest thing that has ever happened to me. We will chalk it up in our memory book. I will be returning to this area again.

ALSO NOTICED: There was a wining noise that we heard. It sounded like a baby animal. We didn't see anything though. We also heard a few footsteps possibly, and some deep knocks.

OTHER WITNESSES: One other person.
