Class B First-hand BFRO #27961

Possible wood knock responses heard near Westport

2 July 2010 midnight Westport, Ontario 3 witnesses

Account

Three people went into woods near Westport at night to try tree-knocking to elicit a response. After each of their three knocks they heard distinct return knocks from across the lake, first from the west and then from the east. They also heard movement in the treeline, a low growl heard by a companion, and three distant howls they judged unlike dog or coyote. They left after about 30 minutes.
