My name is Ron Morehead. I live in Mariposa a small foothill town near Yosemite National Park, in California, and I own businesses there. Whether or not you believe it, you are listening to true recordings of bigfoot creatures in their natural environment. �We know these are naturally occurring primate voices. We have the evidence that establishes that much. Although we had these recordings studied in the late 70s, we've always welcomed any expert that's willing to "give it a go" using the newer technology that's available. We've tried to solicit more scientific involvement but so far nobody has been willing to step up to the plate � It's safe that way, I guess. Anyway, I'd like to share these unique recordings with you. You're going to hear just how close these creatures can come to imitating our voices and our language.

A close friend and I were deer hunting that fall and had just arrived in camp on our horses when the excitement began. We had heard these creatures before, and had seen their footprints around camp. But this time we had found a footprint on the trail hours before getting there so we were pretty sure they were around.

What was so neat about it was we hadn't heard anything from them since the fall of 1972�two years before. The way they had carried on then, the sounds were more ape-like and quarrelsome, or bickering to listen to, like this:

They sounded like they were full of nervous tension and emotion�and sometimes it spilled out abruptly in incredibly rapid-fire bursts.

This is real stuff from real encounters with real flesh and blood creatures that left huge five toed footprints around our hunting camp. It's eight miles, one way, up and down some pretty steep country just to get in or out of this place. The trips we've made and the problems we've had on this trail over the years could make a story by itself.

It can get really exciting wrangling the mules in and out of this area during thunderstorms, especially when a bolt of lighting blows up the tree in front of you � On the switchbacks, I've had a couple of spills over the edge with my horse � that's when my mule decided he didn't want to go any further. Then of course there are the rattle snakes you can run across on the trail �they can really put an edge in your day. I said all that so you'd be aware of the effort it takes to get in and out of this remote area.
