Wildlife surveyor hears distinct knocking near Whitehall, NY -- September 2005 Expedition Area

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.

Sequence of loud vocalizations heard by campers

The witness took two young relatives camping overnight near an old logging road and storm-damaged trees. During the evening and night the group repeatedly heard unidentified noises and guttural patterned calls that seemed to get responses from farther away. In the morning the companions briefly saw something near bushes that froze then moved into shadow, and the group stopped after hearing a rock crash nearby. No footprints were found on the hard ground.

The next morning the storage room was found in disarray with the door off, faint scratches without tool marks, and frozen foods missing.
