Loud rhythmic knocking sounds in central Va near shenandoah national park
I was sitting outside at a fire with my finance when the dog we are dog sitting started alerting and barking. We didn’t think much of it but we heard a sound that was like wood hitting wood. It was really clear and rang out well, one precise sound after another. I can definitely rule out branches snapping or knocking against another tree as the air was generally still and it happened too many times while completely lacking the signature crunchy tasting sound a breaking branch sounds like. The dog hid under my fiancés chair which is unusual (he is a very yappy dog, barks at anything and nothing for 15 minutes straight) and we decided to head inside slowly one we realized the sound was either getting louder or closer. We were sitting about 50 feet away from the wood line to some land that is 25% farm lands and 75% uninhabited woods. These woods are pretty big too, we’re taking over 250 acres at the very least. The icing on the cake is that we are maybe 20 miles away from saddleback mountain, which is part of the Appalachian mountains. I’d really love to know what you guys make of this
