Two hunters hear definite sasquatch wood knock on West River 2 miles SW of Middlesex

Two brothers were bow-hunting from separate positions before daylight when the woods stayed unusually silent. One morning about 9 a.m. they heard a very loud wood-on-wood knock from a swampy thicket to the northeast about 50 yards away. They reunited at their vehicle and confirmed both had heard the same forceful knock and ruled out a gunshot or falling object.

Wood knock
10 November 1979 Naples, Ontario County, New York Class A #7368

Morning sighting by deer hunter near Naples

As a teenager pushing deer for his father on a hunting trip, the witness rested against a fallen tree in a gully. After hearing a branch snap, he saw a tall, dark, hair-covered figure standing on the opposite ridge about 30 feet away, which watched him for several minutes before taking a step toward him. The witness fled on foot to the road and waited for his father, who did not believe the account.

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
