Wildlife surveyor hears distinct knocking near Whitehall, NY -- September 2005 Expedition Area
Account
The witness revisited a family property over two days to investigate knocking heard there since childhood. On the first day knocking followed, circled, and retreated from the witness while moving off-trail. On the second day knocking again preceded arrival at a clearing, where the witness heard a snort-like sound near rocks and had several stones thrown overhead until a rifle was assembled, after which the forest went quiet.
