Class B First-hand BFRO #48797

Men exploring logging roads hear possible knocks and a branch break near Cinebar

June 2013 3:07 PM Cinebar, Lewis County, Washington 2 witnesses

Account

Two people exploring logging roads by jeep stopped to scout a side road on foot. They heard knocking sounds like a stick hitting a tree, then a very loud prolonged cracking like a thick log breaking nearby. They left without seeing any people or vehicles that could explain the noises. A photo taken toward the sounds was later thought to contain something odd but was deemed inconclusive.
