Here is the Samurai Chatter clip

https://youtu.be/rZd7DX8tpK4

It was recorded in 1971, at a remote hunting camp in the mountains of central California. I just made some tasty tacos for one of the guys who recorded this. I’ll be fixing his computer in about a week. Lol

Because of the failed attempt to get a plaster cast, I’m now looking at a new phone with LiDAR, a way to get a 3D scan of the print and the surrounding area. I can then extract a 3D model and print an exact replica on my 3D printer.

I have been thrust into an area of research by a series on linked events over the last 6 weeks and have made friends with some of the top researchers in the world. This wasn’t even on my radar or even something I thought about doing. But, sometimes God or the universe has a different plan and you suddenly find yourself swimming in the deep end of the pool.

My colleague and I have been discussing the creation of a YouTube and Rumble channel and a FB page to document the process and our adventures. He and I want to educate others who do this research to show our process and teach respect for them and the forest. It is their home and we are the guests.

He calls them ‘forest people’, which is a term I really like. I’m still processing all that happened just 48 hours ago.

I’ve been writing in detail about everything that happened just to get it down before too much time has passed.

My world has most definitely been changed.

Not alone, I was with another well known researcher who was giving me a class. And no, not afraid, more awe struck. My colleague was telling me about the area and showing me their art. When we started to find new evidence. He was awe struck as well, even though he has 6 previous documented encounters. This was in the heart of his research area. We were not expecting to see anything, not even the new tracks or breaks. He was taking me to some older things so I could see them close up. The first day was overwhelming with how much we found.

The track we wanted to try to cast was on a steep slope and was flawless, you can even see dermal ridges in the print. It was just too steep and fragile to get a casting. So we kept going. He took me to the spot of his last encounter and that’s when we found the freshest tracks. It was when photographing the new prints that I looked up and saw the juvenile.


We found one track that was 21 inches by 12 inches, a really big one. No, we did not knock on trees or try to mimic their calls. I think that’s a bit silly. When you listen to the Sierra Sounds, during a part known as Samurai chatter, it sounds like a language, to me it sounds like a domestic argument. Lol

On 29 July 2025 at 17:55 on a fire road in the South Umpqua National Forest, I had my first sighting. A juvenile around 2 meters at a range of approximately 60 meters. We had found fresh prints in the area the day before and had gone back to cast them. It was astounding. We had found many tree structures (which I call ‘artwork’) and were documenting our finds. We then found an embankment that had several prints from at least 4 individuals (based on size differences of the prints). Most were older as they had forest debris in the print, but one really stood out and looked very fresh, like it was made just hours before we found it. We found tree breaks that were twisted. These were 8-10 mm in diameter. Then, we moved up the mountain to see what else we could find, about 2Km from the first set of prints we found more that were very fresh. While documenting these, I felt like I was being watched and stood back to scan the hillside, when I saw a black head and shoulder lean out from a tree. I couldn’t reconcile what I was looking at. I marked the spot where I was and stepped away to take more photos of the print. About a minute later, I went to the same spot and it wasn’t there. I then moved about 35 degrees on axis to see if maybe I saw a burnt stump. And there wasn’t anything there. I then scanned the rest of the hillside and saw a head looking at me over a huge fallen log about 30M further up the hill and it was moving side to side like it was shifting weight from one foot to the other.

I no longer have any doubt.

We cast the print, but my buddy’s daughter dropped it and it broke into several pieces. Arrrgggh! It’s been raining a lot here , so we’re planning to go back and search the area for fresher prints.

He better be trolling!

Just posted in the other thread…

My neighbors and I have been hearing whistles, howls and tree knocks for the last two weeks. Today, two of us went looking and may have found a foot print. We’re going back to cast the print, and will contact a more experienced person to analyze what we found.

Where I live, there is a high incidence of encounters. Just came down from a place called Burnt Mountain and documented what looks like a foot print. Definite heel and splayed toes with a deep big toe. I weigh 100Kg, and I barely make a print. There is a plan to go cast it. Marked its location with GPS. Definitely not in a place where you’d want to go barefoot.

We’ve been hearing whistles and howls, and tree knocks over the last two weeks. Which is what motivated us to go look for signs.

I was a scoff skeptic, but I’m not so sure anymore.

I’ve been a hunter/tracker all my life and spent thousands of hours in the wilderness. I’ve never heard sounds like this before. I can’t tell you what is making them. If I hadn’t heard it from my front porch, I would have scoffed at the idea.

The Patterson-Gimlin film was shot a little over 200 miles south of me, in the same mountain range.

If this was a movie script, it would be a flop. You couldn’t write this stuff, nobody would suspend their disbelief.

22 U.S.C. § 2151

And

EO 10973 for its reorganization.

Because the VP is the president of the Senate. Sometimes casting a deciding vote when it’s 50/50 deadlocked.

We weren’t supposed to notice that!

I’m learning that I live in a well known hotspot. I haven’t seen anything yet. But, I have heard some strange things after dark.

The list keeps growing WTH?!?

100 liters a day to drink? That would be lethal.

I need a popcorn emoji

If the Earth was flat, cats would have pushed everything off the edge.

And OP vanished into the ether.

I’m thinking things are much worse than we’ve been told. Even MSM is starting to show that which has been denied.

Hmmmmm
