Knocking in Cook County, Georgia

Been hearing a lot of knocking in the woods close behind my house. It's very loud, and has a repeated pattern like as follows: one loud solid hit, 3 quick taps, then another loud solid hit. Both my father and I have heard this as we are just walking outside. The scary incidents have happened to me 3 different nights in the weeks prior. Tonight was the most scary as I had at least 3 around my house. I have been knocking back and whistling, to no avail, but sitting out on the back patio I can hear the walking, limbs being broken as it walks. Then everything is quiet, as if they have reached the edge of the wood line and are watching me. A few times I've sought to entertain them, I'd do silly stuff or whistle a tune. The night before I was met with three limbs being cracked within 30 mins. This was too frequent to be natural. I have tried to get trail cam video, no luck. But the nights when I'm by myself and I go out as per usual. They're already there and waiting on me. Tonight I tried something different, I decided to just casually sit facing the woods and talk to them. I'd just say that I was their friend and I meant them no harm. As I talked, the woods lit up with noise. I was being approached from 3 different directions. But the largest one concerned me, I could hear limbs breaking as it got closer. I had a flashlight but was reluctant to shine it until I was freaked out, the thing was too close. I lit it up. What I could see appeared to be a very large animal not quite to the edge, and colors making it almost indistinguishable from the woods. But the eyes, oh man, they shined bright green. I would've thought it to be a critter only they were spaced about 5 inches apart and I could make out the outline of something squatting, just starting right at me not even blinking. This thing was huge, it nearly made me run seeing it. I turned the light off and went the hell inside. I checked again an hour later, and still could hear it walking around out there. This is something that has happened to me numerous times, and every time I'm alone I can get a response from them. But if I have someone with me they do not show. There are definitely bigfoots in Adel. And I have some that come to my backyard. There's been only one incident of the house being smacked during the night. And I've noticed that every night as they approach, all the neighborhood dogs go crazy. Now that I've seen them and know what to look for, I see and hear their presence all the time. This is definitely a hot bed. I just don't have the technology to show u definitive proof.
