Possible sasquatch tree knocks TWO NIGHTS AGO along river outside Clintwood

The witness and a companion were night fishing from a boat on a river backwater late at night. Over about an hour they heard several loud knock-like sounds from the treeline and ridge, sometimes answering each other from different distances, plus a close splash and the sound of something large moving along the bank. As they left, the movement sound seemed to follow them upstream until a shallow cove, while the companion reported additional knocks the witness did not hear.

31 October 2001 Lynchburg, Virginia #fd919012-cf7c-4cac-8883-e95a9e75154b

Paranormal encounter near Lynchburg, Virginia (2001)

The witness drove to a Blue Ridge Parkway overlook on Halloween night to clear his head and walked down a trail to a bench. After noticing unnatural silence and hearing branch snaps circling him, he returned to his car. While sitting in the car he heard repeated impacts like cones hitting the vehicle and saw tall black hooded figures in the treeline and prone shapes on the grass that appeared closer each time he looked away, with faint flickering lights near their faces. He spoke to them, then drove away, later finding no damage and noticing maps show the turnout on the opposite side of the road from his memory.
