Couple Reports Mysterious Wood Knocks at Floell Creek Campground

So there's this video that recently popped up from the Squatchin Adventures channel — a couple who have been at this for over 50 years combined — and it's a genuinely interesting one. They headed out to Flodelle Creek Campground off Highway 20 with absolutely zero plans of doing any Sasquatch searching. The smoke from wildfires in their home area (Ferry and Stevens Counties) had gotten so overwhelming they just needed to get away for the weekend, maybe do some fishing, and relax.
But the woods had other plans.
Early in the morning, while sitting outside with coffee and catching up on messages via Starlink, they heard a wood knock. And not just any wood knock — a super loud one that sounded like someone taking an axe to a piece of firewood. Just a single, powerful strike. Then more followed from different directions — one or two out one way, two or three across the creek, and other sounds that were harder to place.
Here's the thing that makes this compelling: it was dead quiet out there. Hardly any birds, hardly any ambient noise. The only other person in the campground was further in and appeared to still be sleeping in their tent. So who was knocking?
They'd actually had a similar experience the day before at a lake on the far backside. They sat down to eat, and immediately got a wood knock. The wind was too fierce to fly the drone that day, but they made note of the spot as a future investigation location.
Fast forward to the morning at Flodelle Creek — the wind had finally calmed down. They got the drone prepped (after a little chip issue) and launched it to look around the surrounding area, including the marsh area of the creek and toward the Pere Wildlife Refuge border. The footage is apparently crystal clear, and you can see the highway in the distance, the bridge over the creek, and the bigger camp area where people unload for trips up to "the dome."
After bringing the drone back successfully (without crashing — a win in itself), they started hearing more sounds. Distant wood knocks. And something else — some kind of chatter that had them asking "what is that?" The narrator pointed out that they had just flown the drone and didn't see anyone else around.
A few things stand out about this one. Wood knocks are one of the most commonly reported types of Sasquatch evidence — often described as exactly what was described here: a single, powerful strike that sounds like an axe hitting wood. The fact that the knocks came from multiple directions suggests something was moving around them, possibly circling or at least present in more than one location. And the complete silence of the forest — no birds, no ambient noise — is something witnesses frequently report during encounters. Many researchers believe Sasquatch may have the ability to affect their environment in ways that quiet the woods around them.
The couple mentioned they reached out to Grassman to keep him in the loop, which suggests this is part of an ongoing network of researchers sharing information in real time.
Definitely worth checking out the full video. The drone footage of that area is gorgeous, and the audio captures of the knocks and other sounds are worth listening to with headphones.
