Account
The witness and a relative were camping at night and talking when they heard footsteps moving through vegetation toward their camp. The sounds approached to within about ten feet and then stopped, but the witness could not see anything in the dark brush. The next morning no sign was found near camp, though the witness found a fresh parted trail through ferns in a washout downhill.
