The sounds of drumming or beating on wood are often associated with Bigfoot encounters or sightings. I as well as many others view this tree knocking as a form of communication for the Bigfoot. Jane Goodall documented this tree drumming behavior amongst the wild chimpanzees. She writes in her book (In the Shadow of Man) and I quote "I had read of chimpanzees drumming on tree trunks when I went through Dr. Nisses's report. Now I heard the strange echoing sound for myself". The drumming or beating on wood is also found within many native tribes throughout the world. In either case it is a way to relay information, a form of communication. It is my strong belief that the Bigfoot not only uses drumming as a form of communication but that they use language as well.


There now appears to be a study out that validates the belief that the Bigfoot dose indeed use language.

I have taken this information and have tried to apply it into my field research techniques. I have used drumming / tree knocking as well as playing a flute and didgeridoo for some years. My next process was logical and inevitable although it did take me a while to acknowledge the accumulated information and apply it to a technique I could use in the field. From what I have heard for myself the Bigfoot language is deep and very guttural with strange (short)modulations ,& there seems to be little to no syntax. It all kind of runs together. So I sat out to find a type of ancient deep guttural form of language / communication used by man. What I have found has aided me greatly while in the field and I would suggest that all researchers at least attempt this technique.
Music is the universal language of mankind that transcends the boundaries of both space and time. Victor Hugo said: "Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent"


Throat Singing is one of the oldest forms of Music in the world and has been featured at the Smithsonian Folk life Festival. At the Smithsonian Folk life Festival a throat singer tells how the "Mountain spirits" taught him this ancient art. The music emulates the sounds of the natural world. It's very guttural and takes a lot of strength to be an epic throat singer. I have made recordings of Mongolian, Tuvan and Inuit throat singing. I take these recordings with me and play them on a small CD player while in the field, like I stated earlier the results have been very promising. I do still use my other musical methods as well . I do NOT use call blasting of obviously distressed animals or the sounds / recorded sounds of human children. I find these two methods to be a bit too barbarian for my taste.

I view these beings as intelligent and peaceful and believe by taking this same approach with my filed methods I again increase my chances for encounters, peaceful encounters.
Listen to the female throat singer in the below clip , this will give you some idea of just how strange and guttural the sounds of throat singing are. Note: the high piched sounds they are NOT a flute, They ARE part of the sounds of throat singing. It reminds me of an elk call. Listen.

Or this clip , one of my favorites.



Here is an interesting note for you that fits very well with my overall information.
The Russian’s, under the leadership of Dr. Pjotr Garjajev also studied the human genome. Taking a different approach, their research included linguistic experts and revealed that a particular portion of the DNA (codons) actually follows the rules of basic syntax – it exhibits biological language skills. Further these researchers found that the codons form words and sentences just like our ordinary human language follows grammar rules. They found that the alkalines of our DNA follow a regular grammar and do have set rules just like our languages.
