Hunter hears possible knocks after evening meal near Smackout Creek Road

October 2013 just after dark Colville, Stevens County, Washington 3 witnesses

Account

While camping on a hunting trip with two companions, the witness heard a very loud bang resembling wood striking wood from about 50-60 yards away across a creek. After about five minutes the same loud sound recurred. The group armed themselves with spotlights and guns, stayed up late, and slept ready thereafter, but heard nothing further and found no tracks the next morning.
