OBSERVED:
On July 4th my oldest daughter got home at around midnight after being
out with friends watching fireworks. My wife and I had already went to
bed because I had work early the next mourning. My daughter came into our
room and said that something was making a lot noise behind the barn that
was across the road from our driveway. She said she had gotten out of her
car and started unloading her stuff from work when something started screaming
at her. She said that she had never heard anything like this before. There
are several tree's between the barn and my neighbors house on that side
of the road. She said whatever this was mad a lot of noise walking back
and forth through the trees. I went outside with a light but never saw
or heard anything. The next night my daughter and I sat out on our front
porch until around 10:30 and again didn't hear or see anything. I saw a
show on the history channel a few years ago about bigfoot and a researcher
said that wood knocking was used to communicate by different apes so I
told my daughter that we would give that a try just for fun. We have a
large willow tree in our yard so we took a piece of wood and knocked hard
on the side of the tree about 4 or 5 times. We had just started to go back
inside when we got a response on the hillside behind the barn. I told my
wife what had happened but I think she thought we were playing a joke on
her. The next night my wife and youngest daughter wanted all of us to go
outside and try the wood knocking again so I knocked on the tree 4 times
and in just a few seconds we had another response from around the same
area. Each time I knocked we would get a reply back. Then there was loud
knocks from the wooded area just below our house and this was very close,
just a few yards from the edge of our field. I really don't scare easy
but this made the hair on the back of neck stand up. I told everyone that
I think its time we got back inside.

Info: About a month
before this happened my wife and I were woke up around 1:00 am by a loud
noise from behind the barn across the road from our house. I have hunted
for about 30 years but I have never heard anything like this before. There
was a full moon but it was very foggy so we didn't see anything
