Camper's encounter with a Bigfoot outside tent in North Lake Campground near Bishop
Account
The witness was camping with two young relatives at a high-elevation lake campground in the summer. Around midnight he woke to heavy footsteps stopping outside the tent and, peeking through the mesh with a flashlight, saw the huge hairy muscular human-like legs of a very tall biped standing a few feet away. After a minute or two the individual walked away, and the witness moved the children to the car and left the campsite early, leaving some gear behind.
