OBSERVED: Myself and my soon to be fiancé were having a bonfire on her 87 acre beef farm and we were playing Native American music when we both heard tree knocks and vocal “whoops” coming from in front and behind us......we both feel very strongly that we do have a squatch on this property not 1 but possibly 3
She had an encounter when she was a much younger girl here on the farm and heard stories from her father about staying away from the back field at night.....there’s a lotta history here on this farm and as it is one of the last real farms left here in upstate New York

Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Mike Young:
Beef farm near the Hudson River, Forests and State Preserves nearby. Deciduous forest typical of the Hudson Highlands.
I interviewed Witness 1, Male, and found him to be credible. Details about the colors and settings provided great detailed information. Witness saw a Juvenile as a child in Vermont near Whitehall NY. He was 6 years old.
I interviewed Witness 2, Female, Credible also. She had fewer sightings and noted they had left when he was no longer gifting apples.
Both heard knocks and whoops in the past months.
He heard growls when he slept on her coach.
They built a new back deck. He saw a large hand one evening at twilight, started mimicking him while smoking, called her and by the time she got over it had left.
Beef cattle farmland with forest on the perimeter. Back field direct to the woods. Large State Preserve nearby.
Family Farm:
10 head of Beef, one bull
2 horses M/F
10-15 chickens
Wild Turkeys
Deer
3 Chickens lost around 4th July 2016, possibly turkey vultures.
Plum and apples trees on the farm, ponds and a clear stream, reeds, frogs and turtles.
A cow appeared to want to drown itself several nights in a row, and had to be put down, this happened at night. Cow tested, not Mad Cow Disease.
Female and her Mother saw them 20 years ago. Farm is 3rd generation.
Fiancée: She had an encounter when she was a much younger girl here on the farm and heard stories from her father about staying away from the back field at night.....there’s a history here on this farm and as it is one of the last real farms left here in upstate New York
