Researchers Plan Trail Cameras to Document Sasquatch Activity and Vocalizations

There's a new upload from the SASQUATCH THEORY channel that's got the research community buzzing, and it's the kind of field investigation content that reminds you why this work matters. The video picks up right where Part 1 left off, returning to that haunting stretch of land they've nicknamed "the Killing Fields," and the findings this time around are genuinely compelling. One of the most fascinating segments involves a return trip to find that every single apple placed on tree stumps around the property had vanished, along with a jar of moonshine left out as bait. What makes this more than just missing fruit is the detail that the area around the stump was completely dry. If a raccoon or squirrel had knocked it over, there would have been wetness on the wood and ground. The jar was simply leaned against the stump and taken. Whoever, or whatever, removed it did so carefully and deliberately, and waited until the researcher had left the property to make their move. That's a pattern of behavior consistent with the intelligence researchers have long attributed to these beings. The moonshine angle is particularly interesting because it ties into a broader pattern documented across multiple states. The researcher mentions a USDA official who confirmed that these creatures are attracted to mash, the byproduct of brewing beer, and that the agency has photographs of them. There's also the well-known case from Tennessee where a family running a moonshine still reported repeated visits from a Sasquatch that kept getting into their supply. Fermented and sugary substances seem to be a recurring draw, which lines up with reports from other regions where Sasquatch have been observed investigating orchards, beehives, and even maple syrup operations. The audio discussion in this video is where things get really chilling. The researchers describe vocalizations that are nothing like known wildlife. One comparison that stuck with me is the description of the screams sounding like howler monkeys but with a lung capacity and sustained power that no known North American predator possesses. The reference to the Jurassic Park T-Rex roar isn't exaggeration for clicks, it's actually a decent analogy for the sheer volume and resonance these vocalizations carry. Mountain lions, bobcats, and foxes can sound intimidating, but witnesses consistently describe Sasquatch screams as something that rattles your insides and sends you running for the house. The video also references the famous St. Louis County, Minnesota Bigfoot calls that have been circulating online, and the researchers mention hearing similar vocalizations during their own investigations, including a memorable encounter with another researcher named Adam near a fire tower. The fact that they've been deploying Zoom audio recorders specifically to capture these sounds shows a methodical approach to documenting evidence. There's also a nice moment where the team discusses the value of having an analytical, thorough researcher on site, someone who rationalizes rather than jumps to conclusions. The suggestion of setting up trail cameras near a hog pin loaded with piglets, using the same mesh material that tracks black bears, is a smart play. Fermented mash and livestock have both proven to be effective attractants in multiple documented cases. If you're into serious field research, documentation methods, or just want to hear experienced investigators discuss vocalization evidence and baiting strategies, this video is worth your time. The Killing Fields series is shaping up to be one of the more interesting ongoing investigations on YouTube right now.
