Possible wood knocks and sticks thrown cause campers to leave early south of Traverse City
Account
The witness walked alone down a gated dirt road to join friends at a lakeside camp and heard rhythmic banging like sticks. Later that night while kneeling to build a fire with a companion, two small sticks came from the dark woods and landed between and behind them. After others went to the water and noticed many crayfish, the group heard thumps by the fire, found the fire logs disturbed and later the tent support bent, then left the camp that night and did not return.
