      The Bigfoot Chronicles - Mike Palecek

      The Bigfoot Chronicles

      by Mike Palecek

      Copyright 2013 Mike Palecek

      Smashwords Edition

      I’ve been looking for Bigfoot since the late ‘90s.

      I’ve searched in Iowa, South Dakota and Minnesota.
I started at Stone Park, which is just north of Sioux City, Iowa. We lived in Sheldon, Iowa at the time. I drove the hour from Sheldon many times and just walked around the park. I had read reports from the ‘60s and ‘70s about sightings at the park.

      I spent time at the park off and on, for about ten years, I suppose, until we moved to Minnesota.
Some of the things I observed:

      Found one track, had knocking returned, had a big branch broken, cracked, right by me immediately after I yelled out a whoop call, had a whistle returned, heard a tree braking sound on a recorder left overnight, found maybe a half dozen tree, branch formations that were interesting. Also, on an overnight campout heard bard owl sounds close to the tent that I was certain were not really bard owls. That’s probably the most interesting part of the years of the many Stone Park trips I took.

      Started going over to Newton Hills State Park maybe around 2008 or 2009. This is just over the Iowa/SD border, about twenty minutes beyond Rock Valley, Iowa.

      Had quite a few things happen there. Sounds, vocalizations, found a blind or hiding spot made out of evergreen branches, had two knocks returned and once had something thrown at me, or at least in my direction. Heard definite multiple knocks on two occasions that seemed to be warning sounds to others. I found tracks in the creek. And on a recorder left overnight heard clacking. Also at that spot I heard, felt a loud thumping that I now think might have
been a distraction to keep me away from a young one nearby. Not sure. And there were some nice X’s made in that area from tree branches.

      And then on to Minnesota. Heard some amazing howls, some wood knocks, found X’s, vocalizations, whispers, voices speaking a language, quite a bit of stuff, and so much area and possibilities that it would really take a lifetime and

      more to do it all justice.

      THE BIGFOOT LETTERS:

      Here are some notes, some clips from letters written to others that kind of describe some of my encounters.

      1)
Listening to last night’s recording from the woods on the reservation.

      Just heard voices. Words. A language. I don’t understand it. One person. Three clipped sentences.

      It was about 6 o’clock last night. I think it was dark by

      then. Very remote area. No houses near. Humans of course always a possibility. I wish I could send it to you.

      Only way to do that would be to send the whole machine. Maybe I should do that with this one. Language is what I have always hoped for. I got a whisper last year. Two words. Almost nobody else can hear it. A couple of other people said they could hear that one. I am sure of it.

      This one there is no doubt it is a voice – like shouting to someone else. I am still listening. Have 19 hours of recording and I’m at 2 hours. Maybe in a while I will hear humans and it will be clear. But if I don’t hear anymore, maybe I should send it to you. It would cost a little. I could tell you how to operate it. Not hard, and then a transcript so you don’t have to hear it all.

      What you would hear is someone shouting. Just as I said. You would not be able to tell any more than me. Inconclusive, unless you make out English or Ojibwe words. It’s Ojibwe land. Do they speak Ojibwe or English in everyday language I wonder?

      So interesting.

      March 2012 ...

      Okay, something new to note, put the recorder out on [land] and heard massive howling, which included something that sounded human-like.

      March 15, 2012/Saginaw area

      [@330 pm would equal 0:00 on recorder]

      [Recorder is in a backpack sort of bag, hanging on tree with mesh making up front of bag, with packets of apple cider powder and chocolate powder inside of bag. Recorder is behind a black card inside pack. Pack is zipped closed.]

      *Times are kind of approximate. Maybe start at least a few seconds before the time I have here, to make sure to catch it.

      *almost throughout the recording there is nibbling or munching right at the point of the pack. No way of telling what’s there.

      *ground is snow-covered, though the walking sounds like it’s on leaves, brush

      0:19 – those knocks are me, on my way out.
2:05:20 – train?/2:05:34
2:06:40 – sounds near bag
2:07:20
