Account
Three people were sitting around a campfire late at night when they heard footsteps in the woods and a loud crash against a nearby mobile home. The reporter ran to wake a sleeping companion while the other two put out the fire. Those two companions reported seeing a large hairy man-like figure about 20 feet away, about 7-8 feet tall with red eyes, which then ran off hunched over.
