Wood knock near Arnold, California
Account
Leaving his family on the main trail, the witness went about a mile off-trail uphill, hearing repeated hard tree knocks, cracks, a growl, and a sound like air releasing from a tire. He felt the air thicken and a barrier blocking him, then heard two powerful back-to-back knocks. Getting lost on descent, he reached a dirt area with arranged logs, twigs and a yellow rock, then heard a close hiss and growl by his ear before navigating back to voices and the trail.
