Class B First-hand BFRO #49906

Morning hiker hears possible knocks and strange vocals in the Uwharrie National Forest

24 September 2015 morning between 9-10:30 am Troy I Think, Montgomery County, North Carolina 1 witness

Account

The witness was hiking alone on a forest trail in the morning when he heard pairs of loud wood knocks that seemed to answer each other as he moved. After returning toward the trailhead he heard a loud deep huff from a ditch without seeing any animal or movement. He then heard repeated guttural baby-like moans or cries from brush across the ditch that changed direction but showed no movement, prompting him to leave without entering the brush.
