Bigfoot Mimics Dog Barks to Hunt Pets Near Residential Area

There's something genuinely fascinating happening over on the Creek Devil YouTube channel, and if you haven't checked it out yet, you're missing out on one of the more compelling witness interviews to surface in a while.
The episode features host William Jevning — a two-time witness and field researcher with over four decades of experience — alongside co-host Tom, and they're joined by a researcher named Lisa who shares some absolutely wild findings from her recent fieldwork. What makes her account stand out is the level of detail and the audio evidence she managed to capture.
After recently relocating to a valley near the Hudson River, Lisa started exploring a wooded area near a trooper barracks. What she found shocked her — structures and evidence suggesting a family group was actively using these woods, despite being surrounded by civilization. We're talking about a tiny stretch of forest bordered by a garbage company, trooper barracks, and roughly ten houses. Not exactly prime wilderness territory, yet these creatures apparently decided to set up shop there.
Lisa set up a recorder behind the trooper barracks and captured what she calls "sniffer audio" — sounds of a juvenile walking around the device, sniffing it, and even banging it against the tree. She believes there are four individuals in this group, and remarkably, the juvenile appears to return to her recorder night after night. You can hear it walking around, even urinating nearby. When she left apples on a high rock crest, they disappeared — and the audio captured the creature taking bites rather than eating the whole apple, suggesting it wasn't a massive adult.
But here's where things get really interesting. Lisa describes a hunting sequence that will give you chills. The juvenile caught something small — bigger than a mouse, smaller than a raccoon — and took at least four minutes to dispatch it. That delay apparently ruined the hunt, because what followed sounded like a shotgun blast and a scream reminiscent of a pterodactyl. The male of the group was not happy.
What happened next is the kind of behavior that separates casual sightings from serious field research. The creature came down closer to the houses and started barking like a dog — "woo, woo, woo" — at 2:30 in the morning. It worked its way up the road, house by house, getting dogs barking on the other side of the street. Lisa realized what was happening: this thing was hunting dogs. It was mimicking canine vocalizations to lure them out, and it kept at it for about ten minutes at each location before moving on.
The episode also touches on a fun question from a viewer named Fred in Okinawa — how would Sasquatch react to encountering someone wearing a face mask? The hosts discuss a previous encounter with an ex-military witness who was wearing a camo mask in Colorado, and the creature seemed confused by it. Tom offers his own colorful take, comparing it to "a ham sandwich being put in a baggie."
There's also a teaser for the second segment featuring their forensic anthropologist John (who goes by that name to protect his credibility) and organic chemist Wendell from episode 93. John has written a novel called "The Comfort of Distance," which sounds like it deserves a look.
This is the kind of long-form, detail-rich witness testimony that serious researchers crave. Lisa's methodical approach — setting up recorders, documenting feeding behavior, tracking movement patterns — represents exactly the kind of patient fieldwork that builds credible cases. The audio evidence alone is worth the listen, but the hunting behavior she describes adds a whole new dimension to understanding how these creatures operate near human populations.
Do yourself a favor and check out the full episode on the Creek Devil channel. It's a reminder that sometimes the most compelling evidence comes not from dramatic sightings, but from someone quietly placing a recorder in the woods and letting the creatures reveal themselves on their own terms.
