Account

The witness stood in the front yard before work in the early morning darkness and heard three loud knocks followed by a single knock from woods across the road. Seconds later, answering knocks came from deeper in the woods toward the lake. The surroundings were otherwise completely silent, and no people or lights were seen in the woods.
