Account

The witness and spouse were fishing at a remote pond in the morning. After bringing fish to shore, the witness twice heard sets of three distinct knocks from a wooded slope behind them. No people were seen in the direction of the sounds, with houses located across the pond. The witness described the knocks as human-like and attributed them to Sasquatch despite no sighting or odor.
