Bigfoot Investigators Encounter Strange Knocking Sounds at Rattlesnake Point

A night investigation at Rattlesnake Point turned into something worth paying attention to, thanks to a team from the Turtle Island Sasquatch YouTube channel. If you haven't checked out their footage yet, this is one you'll want to add to your watch list.
The crew headed out around 11:30 p.m. on July 28th, choosing to approach from the Rattlesnake Point side rather than Crawford Lake. Their reasoning was solid — there was a reported sighting back in 2023 just a few hundred yards from where they were setting up, and they wanted to follow the creek that runs near that location. Smart move, honestly. Water sources are always a good place to focus an investigation, especially in valley terrain like this.
The setting itself is pretty prime Sasquatch habitat. Rattlesnake Point sits along the Niagara Escarpment in Ontario, and the area is known for its dense forests, limestone cliffs, and winding creeks. The escarpment creates natural travel corridors and shelter, which is exactly the kind of environment where you'd expect a large, reclusive hominid to thrive. The team noted they were down in the valley with the escarpment rising on both sides of them — a textbook setup for an encounter.
One of the investigators even set up a trail cam pointed at the creek, just in case something came down for a drink. They joked about it probably not working, but hey, you never know. Sometimes the best captures happen when you least expect them.
Then things got interesting.
While walking along what appeared to be a natural game trail leading down to the creek, the team heard something that stopped them in their tracks. A loud knock — the kind that echoed through the trees and didn't match anything familiar. One of the investigators immediately called it out as a wood knock, and the others agreed. They even debated whether any animal could produce a sound like that, landing on elk or deer potentially hitting a tree with their antlers as the only "natural" explanation. But the way they said it, you could tell they weren't fully buying it.
Wood knocks are one of the most commonly reported vocalizations associated with Sasquatch encounters. Witnesses across North America have described them for decades — sometimes rhythmic, sometimes singular, always deliberate. The theory is that these knocks serve as a form of communication, a territorial signal, or even a response to human presence. Some researchers have suggested that Sasquatch may be mimicking the sounds of woodpeckers or other animals, but the sheer volume and force of these knocks often exceeds what any known animal in the region could produce.
What makes this moment stand out is the timing. The knock came shortly after the team entered the valley and started moving toward the creek — right in the window where you'd expect a resident Sasquatch to potentially become aware of intruders in their territory. Whether it was a warning, a greeting, or just coincidence, it's the kind of audio evidence that keeps investigators coming back.
The team paused to listen for more, which is always the right call. Rushing in or making a bunch of noise after a possible response can ruin any chance of hearing a follow-up. They waited, but nothing else came through.
There's also a great tip in the video about parking strategy — always back in so you can leave in a hurry if needed. Practical advice that applies to anyone heading out into remote areas at night, whether you're investigating a sighting or just hiking.
If you're into night investigations, creek-side terrain, and possible audio responses, this video is worth your time. The Turtle Island Sasquatch crew clearly knows how to pick their locations, and the wood knock they captured is the kind of thing that makes you lean in a little closer to the screen. Check it out and let your own judgment be your guide.
