Bigfoot

An interesting characteristic of Bigfoot, UFO and alien encounters is the electronic, beeping sound many witnesses report hearing during these incidents.

(My personal experience with beeping sounds: I've occasionally been abruptly awakened late at night, and yes, around 3:00 am, because of a loud beeping sound in my head. The sound is very distinct, very mechanical, and all I can say is, as loony as it sounds, it's from inside my head, not an exterior source, like from a truck outside or someone's alarm clock. This has happened several times.)

In Peter Guittilla's Bigfoot Files, he writes about a 1979 report of Bigfoot activity in the area where the witnesses lived - hearing screams, etc. - as well as beeping sounds:
"One night in April at 2:30am my husband woke me to listen to odd beeping sounds coming from the woods. These have not been identified and continued on and off for about a year." (p.136)
Guittilla recounts other Bigfoot stories, where witnesses say they hear all kinds of unusual sounds coming from areas reported to have Bigfoot activity, including coming from underground: "The sounds which often occur in combinations, are described variously as buzzing, beeping, whirling, humming ..." (p.197, Bigfoot Files)

In The Hunt for the Skinwalker, a "hairy humanoid" was seen racing across the property (the ranch in Utah, home of the skinwalker phenomena). The rancher shot at the creature, being sure he hit it:
... but the creature barely flinched... When he chased after it, he heard a weird sound that resembled a soft whine combined with an electronic beeping noise. (p.179, Hunt for the Skinwalker)
The following is from an interesting report on "skinwalker ranch" type phenomena that occurred in the 1970s on a ranch in Elvert County, Colorado:
On another evening, very annoyed at the repeated blows, Jim hurried outside with his rifle and fired at the fleeing bigfoot. Jim is a good shot and the creature was hit although without seeming to be too inconvenienced by the fact. It must have been wearing a bulletproof vest! Subsequently the people at the ranch heard a hoarse crying sound mixed with a kind of beep-beep. (From the Prologue, US Air Force, UFOs and Bigfoot: The Great Deception)
UFOs and Aliens

Some think alien abductions are the work of aliens from space, the military (MILABS) or both. Bonnie Meyer, author of Alien Contact: The Messages They Bring, writes, in a section titled "Scanning":
If you are hearing a lot of beeping sounds, it is probably a small scanning instrument. This scanning is kind of like a mind probe. I doubt you could tell the difference where or who it's coming from.
Barney and Betty Hill experienced hearing beeping sounds on the night of their sighting. In Captured!, the beeping they heard is described as being "code like", with several beeps, a pause, then more beeps. Were the beeps some kind of alien Morse code?

Researcher, author and experiencer Raymond E. Fowler has experienced this beeping sound while asleep (similar to my experiences) and dreams about aliens, making two entries in his journal:
January 27, 1995: I awoke twice to a electronic beeping sound. The second time I thought it was my watch alarm sounding and actually reached to shut if off before the beeping stopped. My right nostril is still sore.
The next day, January 28, Fowler experienced it again:
I woke up again to an electronic beeping sound and again reached for my watch alarm, but it was not the watch. My right nostril is still sore. (Synchrofile: Amazing Personal Encounters with Synchronicity and Other Strange Phenomena, p.188)
In UFO Mysteries: A Reporter Seeks the Truth, author Curt Sutherly recounts the story of Harold Butcher. In 1965, Butcher was working on his parents' farm in New York state. Butcher noticed that the animals were panicking over something; at the same time, the milking machine Butcher was working abruptly stopped:
Looking out a window, Harold saw a large elliptical object land about a quarter-mile away. The object emitted a smell of burned gasoline and a red vapor clouded its rim. A strange beeping sound was heard. The object departed by ascending straight up into the clouds.
What is the cause of this beeping sound? Why does a consistent characteristic - beeping - occur with diverse phenomena such as UFOs, various alien beings, robots and Bigfoot?

Maybe it's a mistake to assume that these things are not connected; they may share a relationship with each other in ways we don't readily see. Some see Mothman, some Bigfoot, others weird aliens or craft, but if they are manifestations of the same kind of phenomenon, it isn't so strange. If they come from the same source, as John A. Keel, Andrew Colvin, and so many others have suggested, it makes some sense. (Keel calls it the "superspectrum".)

If this source, that throws out all kinds of weird things at us, lulls us into a hypnotic, trance-like state, beeping would be a way to induce that state. In his Mothman Prophecies, Keel suggests beeping sounds have something to do with lulling us into a passive, amnesiatic state:
There is a kind of posthypnotic suggestion involved in many UFO and psychic incidents. The witness is driving along a road late at night. He hears a beeping sound and lapses into a trance ... as if he had been preconditioned to lose consciousness at the sound of the beep. Later, he awakes to the sound of another series of beeps.
The witness wakes up hours later to find he or she is now a victim of missing time.

In some cases, it may be a combination of human involvement, possibly working with some paranormal or alien agencies, to manipulate other UFO, cryptozoological and/or alien phenomena. This theory has been suggested to explain cases like Mothman, the Flatwoods creature, UFOs and aliens, as well as Bigfoot.

A seeming glitch in this idea is the fact that many of these areas (the area in Utah, location of the Skinwalker ranch, or Pt. Pleasant, West Virginia, home of Mothman) have had a history of paranormal and UFO activity going back hundreds of years. But if we consider that there are human agencies working with this energy in some way, manipulating both it and us, we find that there isn't a contradiction.

Now the question isn't if these things are happening, but why are covert human elements so interested?
