Camper describes brief sighting, tracks and odd odor
Account
The witness was camping in an old open cabin with companions and a dog. About two days after a disturbed night, the group heard branches snapping and something large running at night and watched a tall shadowy figure run across the road and up a hill in a few strides. The dog reacted strongly and had to be put in a tent. The next morning they found very large footprints behind the cabin and across the road.
