Knocking in Raleigh County, West Virginia

I was shooting a 22 rifle on a abandoned strip mine when I heard what sounded like very loud wood knocking approx. 100 yards below me. I can't even begin to describe how loud and forceful these sounds were. I listened to the sounds for a couple of minutes before leaving the area.
