BFRO #77042: Backpackers on east flank of Mt Hood hear volleys of loud knocks between 12am and 3am

📍 Location

📝 Description

The night of August 11th 2023 my partner and I were sleeping along the Timberline Trail in the Mt.Hood National Forest. Around 12am we were awoken to the sound of wood knocks in the distance. We had stored our backpacks several hundred feet from our campsite and had nothing on us but water, hoping to avoid any predators. A total of 10 times he heard knocks in a series of 3-5 at a time over the course of three hours. A clear wood on wood sound from below us. I soon dozed back to sleep as we were pushing 40 miles. My partner stayed up the rest of the night spooked.
