Hunter hears wood-on-wood knocking

The witness was hunting alone on foot in the morning when he heard repeated groups of rapid wood-on-wood impacts ahead of him. He followed the sounds as they stayed ahead until they were close but still hidden by a rise across a creek, then became uneasy and retreated to the road and camp. He stayed in the camper the rest of the day. Years later after reading a newspaper account of tree-whacking, he concluded the sounds were Bigfoot communication.

October 1989 Kittery, Maine EP 899

Sasquatch sighting near Kittery, Maine (1989)

The guest, then 19, was scouting for deer behind a rented house in October 1989 and set a homemade 10-foot ladder stand along a deer run. At dusk he heard loud deliberate footsteps approaching from the north and saw an upright, wide-shouldered creature pass about 40 to 50 yards behind him heading south. He hid against a tree, left without telling his fiancee, and returned days later to find the stand shredded into short sections with large human-like tracks and a single six-inch reddish-brown hair tipped white. He abandoned the spot and says he has never had a similar experience since.
