Infrasound and Bigfoot Researcher Brenda Harris

SC EP:4 Infrasound and Bigfoot Researcher-Brenda Harris 11/24 by Bigfoot Hotspot | Science Podcasts

Join us every Sunday night at 5pm PST as we discuss recent Sasquatch sightings and encounters with Brenda Harris. We will also be discussing Infrasound. Our live call in number is 646-716-8791. Infrasound, sometimes referred to as low-frequency sound, is sound that is lower in frequency than 20 Hz (Hertz) or cycles per second, the "normal" limit of human hearing. Hearing becomes gradually less sensitive as frequency decreases, so for humans to perceive infrasound, the sound pressure must be sufficiently high. The ear is the primary organ for sensing infrasound, but at higher intensities it is possible to feel infrasound vibrations in various parts of the body.

New Mexico - Brenda Harris, has had encounters with Bigfoot from the mid 1990’s to the present. This has prompted her to do more investigations and continuous research on the subject. Brenda Harris has investigated Bigfoot sightings and activities for years. "Bigfoot is something that the people on the reservation are dealing with right now in different areas," she said. "For people living along the rivers, they hear it yelling or screaming late at night. Brenda will give us an update on whats going on.

How many times have we gone in the bush and felt like we were being watched? How many times have we been in the bush and came across a strong earthy musky odor? How many times have we built a fire, and then sensed a presence just beyond the firelight? How many times have we been showered with a feeling of fear? How many times have we had things pop in our heads, they take over the moment as if out of nowhere.

Although it maybe easy to suggest fear into the mind... we must accept some of these new possibilities and not automatically react with a drive to push away, shun or kill what we do not understand. We are being tested.

There is no doubt for me that Bush Natives exist in wide varieties of habitats. Naturally they are curious about other animals that share the earth with them. If we are mindful to these possibilities, and we enter the state of appreciation for the larger potential realm of existence, in time the unseen world will reveal itself.

'Bigfoot' Creatures in Various Tribes

The Bigfoot figure is common to the folklore of most Northwest Native American tribes. Native American Bigfoot legends usually describe the creatures as around 6-9 feet tall, very strong, hairy, uncivilized, and often foul-smelling, usually living in the woods and often foraging at night. Native American Bigfoot creatures are almost always said to be unable to speak human languages, using whistles, grunts, and gestures to communicate with each other. In some stories, male Bigfeet are said to be able to mate with human women. In some Native stories, Bigfoot may have minor supernatural powers-- the ability to turn invisible, for example-- but they are always considered physical creatures of the forest, not spirits or ghosts.

That is where the intertribal Bigfoot similarities end, however. In the Bigfoot myths of some tribes, Sasquatch and his relatives are generally shy and benign figures-- they may take things that do not belong to them or even kidnap a human wife, but do not harm people and may even come to their aid. Sometimes Bigfoot is considered a guardian of nature in these tribes. These more benevolent Bigfeet usually appear alone or in a small family unit, and may exchange gifts or use sign language to communicate with Native American communities. But Bigfoot legends from other tribes describe them as malevolent creatures who attack humans, play dangerous tricks on them, or steal children; they may even eat people. These more dangerous Bigfoot monsters, known as Stick Indians or Bush Indians, are sometimes found in large groups or even villages, which engage in warfare with neighboring Indian tribes.

One more mythological creature deserves special mention on this page and that is the Bukwus of the Kwakiutl and other Northwest Coast tribes. Bukwus is not truly a Bigfoot figure, but bears enough resemblance to them (man-sized and covered with tangled hair) that he is often identified this way. The big difference, which is often missed by casual folklorists, is that Bukwus is actually an undead monster. They are the ghosts of drowned people; their bodies are depicted as stylized skeletons and they spend their time trying to trick humans into becoming ghosts by offering them the food of the dead to eat. In this regard, they are significantly different than the other "bigfoot" creatures, who are considered to be real creatures of the forest (not ghosts.)
