Strange occurrences at a rural cabin near West Union causes owner to put it up for sale

17 June 2017 2-3 am West Union, Adams County, Ohio 2 witnesses

Account

A couple staying overnight on the screened porch of a wooded cabin report two nights of disturbance in June 2017. The first night included talk-like and giggling sounds followed by an hour of limbs breaking all around them. The second night something vocalized loudly near the creek, rushed toward the cabin causing felt impacts, then ran off breaking wood. The next morning they found widespread broken limbs and a snapped tree but no footprints, and did not return.
