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. 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.

August 2005 Temagami, Ontario Class B #14341

August 2005; Temagami, Ontario - A father, his son and girlfriend are witness to several incidents in northern Ontario.

The witness and two companions explored a deforested and mined area with piled boulders and abandoned mine buildings. Over about an hour they heard tapping from the woods, running footfalls, crashing in brush, and other strange noises, while stones were reportedly thrown toward the companions. They also found many snapped trees and a very large mound of possible scat that a tossed rock sank into.

Various sound-only incidents described by hunter near Cripple Creek

The witness waited in a tree stand in a remote northern Ontario hunting area just before daybreak after a period of unnatural quiet and a feeling of being watched. He then heard very loud wood-on-wood knocks exchanged between two locations for about 10 minutes, with one source sounding closer over time. He left for the camper scared, and his two companions later said they had heard the sounds faintly from their distant stands.
