Clear Creek Campground Bigfoot throws tantrum, scaring campers
Account
A group of six campers were in a campground at night when a large creature entered their camp. They shone flashlights on it from about 100 yards away and estimated it was 8 feet tall. The creature reportedly screamed, pulled up small trees and threw them across a creek toward the camp. The next day the group followed human-shaped 17-inch tracks for about a mile until they lost them on a rocky shelf.
