Account
The witness woke while family members slept to loud knocking sounds behind the tents. The witness woke their father, and they heard knocking from two directions around a meadow and knocked back, getting replies. They grabbed a camera and went to investigate, but the knocking stopped and they only heard branches cracking and heavy footsteps nearby.
