Man records possible wood knocks in Southern Berkshires

Winter 2016 around 2 AM Mt Washington State Forest Mass, Berkshire County, Massachusetts 1 witness

Account

The witness and a companion were on an overnight camping trip in a state forest. Around 2 AM the witness was half-awake in cold conditions when a loud distant noise was heard. The witness noted the time to locate the sound on an all-night audio recorder and later felt the recording sounded like a very loud distant wood knock from a large source.
