Miscellaneous

 Night one
 Evidence of possible gifting occurred  as well as the discovery of a birch log being placed directly behind one of the team vehicles.

This particular expedition was the first time we experienced what may be considered as gifting. It was a wet and rainy expedition and when we arrived at camp we went about collecting firewood for some time.

That night, Steve Kulls observed a 5 - 5.5 foot creature crossing the path perpendicularly. The next morning, team member Jeff discovered a log had been placed behind his vehicle. This was just a couple of the many events that occurred over this Four day, three night expedition

September 2012 Night Surveillance

During a night surveillance operation in September, the Squatchdetective.com Field Research Team encountered what appeared to be probing behavior from at least two unidentified creatures approaching from the east and northeast. The activity included distinct wood knocks, vocalizations, and rocks being thrown toward team members.

At one point, the team advanced toward the sounds and detected clear footfalls coming from downhill. Steve Kulls took several photographs aimed in the direction of these sounds.

The images shown to the right capture visible eye-shine, which appeared to be moving closer to the team. Given the downhill angle and scale, the source of the eye-shine seemed to stand approximately 7 to 7.5 feet tall.
​
In the first image (top), the red-colored eye-shine is fainter and more difficult to discern. In contrast, the second image displays a larger, brighter, and closer eye-shine. The red light visible on the ground in the second image originates from the team’s former videographer.
