Class B First-hand BFRO #39314

Teenagers unnerved by possible knocking in Oak Creek

7 July 1976 10 pm or so - dark night Oak Creek, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin 3 witnesses

Account

The witness and companions were parked late at night at a cul-de-sac off Fitzsimmons Road. They heard successive sets of loud wood-on-wood knocks that sounded progressively closer, from a few hundred yards away to within tens of yards. Frightened as the sounds approached without any visible source or movement noise, they fled in their truck without seeing what made the sounds.
