Two hunters hear definite sasquatch wood knock on West River 2 miles SW of Middlesex

Account

Two brothers were bow-hunting from separate positions before daylight when the woods stayed unusually silent. One morning about 9 a.m. they heard a very loud wood-on-wood knock from a swampy thicket to the northeast about 50 yards away. They reunited at their vehicle and confirmed both had heard the same forceful knock and ruled out a gunshot or falling object.
