Possible wood knocks heard near Marble mountain Sno-Park
The witness was hiking alone and stopped for water when loud wood knocking lasting 10-15 seconds was heard. The witness made phone recordings that captured one loud knock plus fainter knocks believed to come from three locations. The witness continued hiking and returned later without further sightings or sounds, noting no other people were nearby due to winter closures.
Two rock climbers hear wood knocks and footsteps in the early morning at a trailhead
Two hikers arrived at a trailhead in the early morning to climb and heard knocks from uphill and downhill, followed by stick-breaking sounds like footsteps. They knocked back and received responses, filmed the exchange, then heard further knocks and repetitive rock-on-tree tapping as they started up the trail. They saw nothing in the dense woods and eventually left.
Target shooter hears strange sounds (see video) and finds possible tree-breaks and prints off of the Mountain Loop Highway
The witness and a companion stopped off a forest road so the witness could target shoot while the companion waited at the truck. After the witness returned to the road, both heard repeated very loud cracking snaps from a wooded hilltop about 100 yards away, spaced about 30 seconds apart, along with movement and bark-ripping sounds. The witness walked partway up the hill filming with a cell phone and captured at least one loud crack before returning to the truck and leaving.
Witness heard what sounded like sticks being beaten on wood
The witness stopped on a bridge over a washed-out creek to videotape the creek bed while sightseeing. While filming he heard heavy wood-on-wood strikes from the left answered from the right at varying intervals, which he verified was not an echo. Feeling anxious, he returned to his idling vehicle and left, and a relative later reviewed the tape where the beats were faintly audible and recorded an interview with the witness that evening.
Wood knock in Washington
In January the witness and a friend slept in a pickup near the site. At night they heard stick drumming back and forth, felt something push the door and slap the glass, and heard a food bucket being moved for about an hour. The audio recorder disappeared, and next-morning backpack video showed a figure ducking behind two trees by the truck.
