Possible encounter scares a camper from his hammock while in the Uwharrie National Forest

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.

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

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.
