Two young campers have frightful, dawn encounter near Cave Junction
Account
Two sisters sleeping in a tent trailer awoke early in the morning to scratching on the bottom, top and sides of their bunk. When they unzipped a window they smelled a strong foul odor and saw dark brown fur pressed against the mesh. They woke their parents, but whatever was there was gone by the time the parents went outside.
