BFRO #59610: Retired mail carrier reports sundown knocks and responses on east flank of Rockies near Calgary

📍 Location

📝 Description

I thought that I would send you a message about what happened to me last night. June19, 2018. I had decided to go out into Kananaskis country to take pictures of the setting sun behind the mountains. I had found a spot on Highway 66 where there was a pull out, so I could set up my tripod on firm ground. (pavement) I had gotten there earlier than I needed to so that I could prepare my equipment. As I was sitting in my car waiting for the right amount of sunlight I heard a wood knock but didn�t think anything of it. (The car was turned off) I also heard a lot of birds. When I heard the second knock I thought ok �what is that�. I then went to the back of my car and got out a baseball bat that I had in my vehicle. I then went and did a wood knock myself thinking �Yea like I�m going to get a reply�. About 2 minutes later I got a knock, but it seemed to be a little closer. The first one was like 2 kilometers away and this one was about 1 kilometer away. I then went and hit a different tree to make it sound like I was a different one. This one was answered from even closer to me like maybe 800 meters. I thought great I will try again, but delay on doing it right away. I did a knock and went back to my car to get my camera just in case. Nothing happened so I grabbed my camera and was walking across the road to see if I could see anything to take a picture of what ever was there when a knock came from about 300 meters away. This was all happening on the north side of the road. I went back to my vehicle and got the bat again and struck another tree, this time I heard a scream-howl from the south side of the highway (the side I was on) about 2 KM�s west followed almost right away by another tree knock on the north side again about 300 meters away. All of this happened between about 9:45 and 10:45 at night.This was pretty much the end of all of this. Chuck [B.]
