Hiker startled by violent tree shaking and possible ground stomping near Uniacke House Museum
Account
The witness was photographing nature along a loop trail behind a museum when repeated violent shaking of branches followed by loud ground thumps was heard from dense cover without any source being seen. After a third occurrence the witness left quickly and, after covering several hundred yards, heard a very loud thump about 80 feet behind. The witness then ran back to the museum, briefly losing the trail before finding the markers again.
