Camper reports knocks and camp intrusion at Whitetail Campground in Farragut State Park near Athol
Account
The witness and spouse were sleeping in a family tent in a campground late at night when both awoke to loud footsteps and breaking branches. Something entered their site, brushed against the tent, and moved to mushrooms at the site edge while they shone a flashlight but saw nothing. After a quiet period it left the way it came, and in the morning the mushrooms were gone. The witness doubted bear, moose, or human explanations based on stride, sound, and lack of reaction to light and noise.
