Woman recalls scary night while at a Girl Scout campground in Bear Brook State Park

1970–1979 around 1 or 2 am Bearbrook State Park Spands Allenstown & Deerfield, Merrimack County, New Hampshire 5 witnesses

Account

The witness was sleeping in a tent with other campers during a Girl Scout overnight stay when she was awakened by something pressing on the tent and making grunting sounds. After she scratched the tent fabric and made a loud sound herself, she felt something solid outside and heard a loud grunt or growl followed by crashing away through the underbrush. The other occupants screamed, camp leaders said everyone was accounted for, and an unrecognized funky odor was noticed.
