Late Arriving Campers Hear Running, Stomping, Shrieking, Howling
Account
Three people had laid out sleeping bags for the night at Kitson Springs when they heard rustling, loud stomping, and prolonged shrieking and howling nearby. They did not see the source and remained still while the sounds continued and then moved up a hillside into the distance. In the morning they made only a brief check and reported no tracks.
