Possible encounter scares a camper from his hammock while in the Uwharrie National Forest
Account
The witness spent the night in a hammock set a short distance into the woods beside a campground site while his wife slept in a tent. After 2:30 a.m. he heard prolonged branch-breaking sounds around him and a very deep, prolonged vocalization, which seemed to stop when he shone a light and resume when it was off. He retreated to the tent, where both occupants continued to hear breaking culminating in one very loud break. The next morning they found no footprints or broken limbs, only rock piles they noted.
