Whoops and knocks heard by four locals camping north of Bristol
Account
Four young people camped overnight in a wooded area in summer 1987. During the night they heard knocking, whooping, and footsteps around their tent, and something stepped on a companion's hand through the tent wall. Two of them looked outside but saw nothing, hearing only something heavy moving away quickly. Years later they interpreted the incident as a Bigfoot encounter.
