Account

The witness stopped alone at a roadside overlook in Shenandoah National Park to photograph the sunset. Just before 5 p.m., the witness heard sets of loud wood-on-wood knocks from the woods in three different directions around the overlook. The witness stated the sounds were unfamiliar and unlike typical forest noises heard during many years visiting the park.
