Knocking in Cherokee County, South Carolina

I was camping with my stepdaughter and one of her friends at the Big Bay Access Area on the Broad River. Upon arrival at the campsite at 12:30 AM, as is our custom, my stepdaughter did a 2-3 second howl and I did a heavy growl. Immediately thereafter, we heard creature chatter from across the parking lot (100-150 yards away), followed seconds later by a wood knock from the same direction but further away. I found a large stick and answered with two wood knocks, but got no response.

I have multiple reports to make. Bigfoot is living in the Angelina National Forest, no doubts. My husband grew up hunting there, but I have only been hunting in there for the past 4-5 years.
