Camper Awakens and Sees Two Creatures in the Laurel Snow Pocket Wilderness
Account
The witness was sleeping alone in a tent on the Cumberland Plateau when he awoke with a feeling that someone was approaching. He saw two tall, very wide-shouldered bipedal silhouettes stopped at the top of the trail to his campsite, with the second moving left as if to flank him. He found his handgun and flashlight and shone it toward the trail, but the figures were gone. He stayed in the tent, later concluded they were Bigfoot, and left the area that morning.
