Vacationers blame a restless night on possible vocalizations at a remote mountain cabin near Bryson City

10 March 2015 4am to about 6:30 a.m. Bryson City NC, Swain County, North Carolina 4 witnesses

Account

The witness and three companions were staying at a rented cabin in remote mountains. In the early morning after two of them got up unable to sleep, they heard grunting nearby followed by a very loud scream and sounds of something running through the woods breaking branches. They then heard whooping sounds off and on for about two hours and reported that the whoops answered when they imitated them. They also reported a foul garbage-like odor.
