Account
A young Marine on night guard during cold-weather training saw a friend run back from the tree line shaken and silent. He went to the same spot, noticed breath in the trees and one tree swaying, heard a strange vocalization between a growl and roar, then saw a massive hairy figure in moonlight. He backed away sideways to camp without turning his back and stayed awake watching the spot.
