Camper is subjected to possible intimidation behavior in the Uwharrie National Forest
The witness and a companion were camping overnight in hammocks when a prolonged series of nighttime disturbances began. The witness heard crashing movement, branches breaking, rocks banged together, and a large object thrown through the woods landing nearby. Birds, an owl, and distant dogs vocalized during the sequence, which ended with a long wail, after which the woods went quiet. The pair left the area the next morning.
Campers awakened by heavy bipedal footsteps in Uwharrie National Forest
The witness and companions were camping overnight when they were awakened about 1 a.m. by loud, heavy bipedal footsteps moving around their campsites and breaking branches and leaves near the wood line. They judged the source to be very large and heavy and ruled out deer, horse, or bear because it walked like a person on two feet. No vocalizations were heard, no footprints were found, and no food was disturbed.
Unknown early morning visitor heard by a youth leader in the Uwharrie National Forest
The witness was camped in a tent at a primitive site in mixed forest when, in the dark early-morning hours, footsteps were heard crunching through dry leaves off-trail. The unseen walker came from dense woods behind the tent, crossed the trail, and continued east smoothly without a light. The witness stayed still and never saw the source, but later insisted it was certainly bipedal and not a deer.
