Wood knock in Pennsylvania

The witness followed a trail to a rock face at dusk, heard a single loud wood knock, then glimpsed a large bipedal figure moving between trees and heard crunching footsteps alongside him. Trapped between creek brush and woods, he caught its face leaning around a tree in his spotlight. He then crashed through thorns, crossed the creek, and reached the road.

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
