8 August 2008 about 0215 hours Chicken, Southeast Fairbanks County, Alaska 1 witness

Account

The witness was sleeping in a remote cabin when loud wood-on-wood knocking sounds woke him in the early morning hours. The knocks repeated for several minutes very close to the cabin and stopped when he tried to rouse his companion. The next morning both looked around the area but found no explanation for the sounds.
