"I would hear 'knocking' sounds on the trees around us at night. I would brush it off as just wind but then the sounds would get louder and closer and then they started surrounding us."
I received the following account:
"Hi, Lon. I thought that I'd write you. I still can't explain this. I was out in the mountains of Pennsylvania in the Poconos, and this happened multiple times. I would be in the woods and would hear 'knocking' sounds on the trees around us at night. I would brush it off as just wind but then the sounds would get louder and closer and then they started surrounding us in a circle. Then we heard screaming from the woods surrounding us, not yelping but in some kind of language. It was absolutely insane. It sounded like people dying. It wasn't coyotes, I've heard them many times. This was human.
While the screaming and knocking kept going in circles we would huddle near each other at the fire, looking at each other like "WTF?" Then it would stop after about 20 minutes. When we were in our tents sometimes we would hear it again and hide under the blankets. Sometimes we would even hear footsteps. This was in an area that, historically, had a lot of Native American violence so maybe that could be why? Just grasping at straws here, because there was no way we could explain it. Whenever we went to the same area it would happen.
The last time we were there we ended up staying at my friend's cabin and I really only stayed one night and day because 2 people (my friends) had to leave and I didn't want to be alone with the last person there whom I didn't know all that well. They were kinda odd, to say the least, and I didn't feel right without cell service or my own car in the middle of nowhere with a stranger. Nothing out of the ordinary there though, just a campfire, some beers, grilled food, etc.
This was in a different area than the above. No weird sounds that I could hear, even while venturing into the woods looking for them. But maybe someday I'll hear them again! I've talked to friends and family about this. Some of them suggested that we encountered a group of Bigfoot. One friend told me that they had experienced the same thing in the same area (near Arrowhead Lake). What are your thoughts?" W
NOTE: The Poconos are well-known for a variety of unexplained activities and cryptid sightings. Bigfoot and cryptid canines have been reported in the past, as well as ghostly phenomena. Honestly, it seems possible that this was Bigfoot activity. Lon
