Account

The witness reports repeatedly hearing loud wood-on-wood smacking sounds from different directions after midnight while soaking in a hot tub outside a trailer and later while on the second-floor deck of a new house. The property borders heavily wooded swamp adjoining a wildlife preserve. The witness initially wondered why anyone would be working in the woods at night, later associating the sounds with stick-banging described on a television show. No visual encounter is claimed.
