Nature photogapher hears possible woodknocks on Skyline Drive

The witness stopped alone at a roadside overlook in Shenandoah National Park to photograph the sunset. Just before 5 p.m., the witness heard sets of loud wood-on-wood knocks from the woods in three different directions around the overlook. The witness stated the sounds were unfamiliar and unlike typical forest noises heard during many years visiting the park.

Possible wood knock interaction by kayaking fishermen on Switzer Lake

The witness and a cousin were kayak fishing on a mountain lake when they heard knocking from a steep forested bank. They paddled closer and exchanged knocks by striking the kayak with a paddle for several minutes until the sounds from shore stopped. They waited and watched the area but saw no person or animal.

The Database of Unexplained Encounters. Claims are recorded as claims: the Anomadex catalogues what people reported, where it was reported, and how sure I am that it was read correctly. It does not rule on what they saw.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
