Camper startles a "Chewbacca" like creature in Palo Duro Canyon State Park
Account
The witness was camping overnight and walked toward a public restroom around 1 a.m. when rustling drew attention. Shining a flashlight, the witness saw a large hair-covered biped that vocalized and then moved into trees and disappeared. The frightened witness returned to the tent without using the restroom and remained sleepless.
