Camper hears heavy footsteps at night around tent at Baker Lake
Account
The witness was sleeping in a tent at a lakeside campground with family around 1-2 a.m. when heavy rapid footsteps passed the tent, paused at the picnic table where faint silverware clanking was heard, then left the campsite. It was too dark to see anything and the witness stayed inside the tent. A morning search found no tracks because the ground was dry.
