Account
Two occupants sharing a tent while camping said they were awake when something grabbed their feet, which were sticking out of the unzipped tent, and pushed them back inside. They immediately looked outside but saw nothing, then zipped the tent and could not sleep. The reporter and other family members said they slept through the night and did not experience the contact.
