BFRO #18349: Possible Knocks and a Vocalization Heard by Two Witnesses Near Middleburg

📍 Location

📝 Description

Hiking through the woods this morning with my younger brother after visiting a creek, we were halted on the trail by a series of loud whacks at approximately 11:30 am. It didn't sound metallic; it was very much like wood-on-wood, with a duration of three or four seconds between each whack, which I counted at three. Instantly, I was reminded of wood knocks. What we heard next, perhaps a minute and a half to two minutes following the last knock, made me jump. It was a cry. A loud, long, drawn out type cry that I cannot associate with any other animal. It wasn't a cow. It wasn't a bear. It wasn't a bird of any kind that I know of. And it most definitely was NOT canine. It lasted about six to eight seconds It had to have been within a mile of where we were standing. We were yards away from the creek.

🔍 Circumstances

Just one witness, my younger brother. He's sixteen and was standing beside me when the knocking started. After it quit, before the cry, he had taken a few strides in front of me and kind of shuffled in the foliage when the cry originally started. When he caught it, he stopped and listened.
