Tapping Sounds Spark Fright | Unintentional Humor in the Woods

Early one morning, a man experienced a startling moment while parked in the woods before a hunting trip. After dropping his wife off for work at 5 a.m., he decided to take a short nap in his truck, but was woken up by an eerie tapping on the driver’s side window.

The Startling Incident

As he drifted off, the man heard rapid tapping that spurred vivid imaginations of supernatural beings. "All I could think was some Blair witch boney finger demon of the woods tapping my window," he recounted. Without looking, he quickly drove away and chose another hunting location as daylight broke.
