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.

Deer hunter finds possible footprint near Ellerbe

While scouting and then deer hunting near a river over several weeks, the witness reports a persistent foul odor, sounds of being followed, and repeated loud wood knocks. The witness found single very large deeply impressed tracks on two occasions, plus stick formations, flattened vegetation, long strides in leaves, and animal remains including hide on a high limb and a bloody disturbed area. A wildlife biologist viewed the first track but considered it contaminated, and later investigators visiting the site found no tracks or signs.

Vocalization in North Carolina

Throughout childhood the family experienced constant strange activity on the farm including murmuring voices, something calling names in the mother's voice, rocks thrown into the pond while night fishing, hammer-like knocks, whoops, nightly crashing like a falling tree that never hit ground, and moving smells. Visitors felt watched and refused to return.
