Knocks and Orbs at Spectacle Lake in Madawaska Valley
Five campers staying at Spectacle Lake reported hearing tree knocks on two consecutive nights after 10 pm, first from across the lake where they believed no other people were present and then from very close to their cottage. The reporter knocked back after the first knocks and received no reply. On the second night several campers also saw fast blue and pink flashes described as orbs and felt a presence in the dense treeline without seeing anything, reporting that they did not feel scared.

Possible wood knock responses heard near Westport
Three people went into woods near Westport at night to try tree-knocking to elicit a response.
