A listener writes “I live in a small town in New Hampshire in the Monadnock region. This area is pretty rural and hilly/mountainous, we moved to Lyndeborough from a city in Massachusetts. A year or so after we moved in I had woken up to a whoop sound very early in the morning around 2 or 3 Am, it was summer time and my windows were open. This whoop was distinct and very similar to the sierra sounds, I thought about waking my wife but it stopped after a couple times and I just went back to bed.

Several years later I was outside splitting wood for my wood stove with my dog. I split a few and after the last one I heard a loud crack coming from across the street. This didn’t sound like a tree popping in the cold weather, I looked at my dog and he was looking in the same direction where the “wood Knock” came from. Since this was different I got a weird feeling and went inside with my dog. During that time I feel I may have had a lot of experiences and am not sure if it was just my imagination. Around this same time I distinctly remember walking into my house and hearing someone whispering. This was very rapid and sounded like gibberish being whispered, however the only way I can describe it is that the whisper sounded very powerful but stayed quiet if that makes sense.

I found a structure in my wood behind my house and thought that the kids had placed it there before we had moved in. This structure was almost like a lean-too but I felt it was just big enough for me to fit in while laying down and I am not a big guy. I only mention this because I have seen a similar thing on some of the documentaries that I have watched on it. Another weird thing that happened was I was walking around my beaver pond back to my house after coming out of the woods. I then heard something EXTREMELY heavy take two steps about 100 yards from me across the beaver pond. My first reaction was that it was a moose so I crouched down because I wanted to see it. I waited several minutes and I didn’t hear anything else.

I didn’t want to go check it out further because I was worried about it being a cow moose with a calf and didn’t want to get stomped to death. As I thought about this more, I didn’t think that it sounded like an animal with four legs. It sounded like something with very large feet that was very heavy crushing multiple sticks and  only two steps kind of threw me off. Later that summer, I remember I was mowing my lawn and looked up and saw a dead birch tree violently swinging so much that I remember pieces of the tree falling down, It was dead but I was unsure why it would be swinging back and forth like that.

This past winter I was heading outside and across this same beaver pond I heard a very loud and distinct tree knock. I have spoken with several people about this and seem to get blown off and am just curious if there are other sightings or experiences in my area.  I am not a person that tells lies or blows things out of proportion but I have had some interesting things happen. I have never seen anything and have not seen any footprints either. I am a Police Officer in town and I know I do have the respect of the town which is not too common nowadays. I am also a Firefighter in Massachusetts, I am really just curious if this is common for this area.

This all may be my mind playing tricks on me or just an overactive imagination. I do have a guy in town who is a very experienced woodsman. He told me a story about him going hunting several years ago not too far from my house,  when he went into the woods he heard something large running away from him.”
