Class B First-hand BFRO #9022

While staying in cabins, sleepers awakened in early morning by strange sounds and notice unusual smell in Appalachian foothills

July 2004 about 3 to 4 AM Dennison, Harrison County, Ohio 7 witnesses

Account

A group staying overnight in cabins was awakened around 3 to 4 AM by loud wood-on-wood knocking that continued on and off for about five minutes. The witnesses could not determine the direction or distance of the sounds. Some in the group had noticed a foul odor earlier that night, and a dog had reacted aggressively to something across the hollow the previous evening.
