Class B First-hand BFRO #47557

Possible night time knocks startle a woman out of her sleep near Traverse City

29 December 2014 4:30 am Traverse City, Leelanau County, Michigan 1 witness

Account

The wife woke in the early morning hearing seven low-volume knocks like wood striking a tree from the woods east of the house. She woke her husband, who heard nothing himself. They later looked for tracks but fresh snow prevented finding anything. The husband later wondered if the knocks were related to Bigfoot after seeing a nearby report.
