Hikers have possible daytime encounter on state's highest peak, Mount Greylock
Account
The witness and his wife were hiking down from a summit in the morning when they heard non-rhythmic clapping-like sounds about 100 feet away in thicker woods, with walking and branch-breaking noises between the sounds. They stopped to listen for about a minute, then advanced toward the area but found no sound or movement. Further down the trail the witness tried reproducing the sound with tree knocks, rocks, and hand claps, finding cupped hand claps matched most closely.
