Vocalizations and wood knocks heard by fishermen near pond

May 2005 about 6pm BeBee, White County, Arkansas 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were fishing at the farthest of several ponds in the late afternoon. They heard repeated whoop-like vocalizations followed by loud wood-on-wood knocking from a wooded area behind a hill that blocked their view. The sounds lasted about ten minutes, after which fish began biting. The witness later said the sounds matched examples of alleged vocalizations and knocks heard online.
