Account

The witness and a companion were working for about a month at a remote camp near Spruce Knob. On one night by the campfire the witness heard low vocal sounds and three grunts directly behind him. Both men yelled and ran toward the woods, hearing something large moving away through the trees but seeing nothing when a flashlight was used.
