Account

The witness and a companion heard repeated banging or knocking sounds that seemed to get closer while walking home late at night. They retreated to a cabin loft, left windows open to listen, and heard leaves crackling from steady bipedal footsteps circling nearby. They could not see the source due to trees, and the noises continued until about 5 a.m.
