Campers spot large creature cross path
Account
The witness, a camp volunteer, followed two campers about 60 yards down a dark trail away from the campsite. A tall slim figure crossed the path about 10 feet beyond the nearest camper. One camper on the ground claimed to see it again moments later, while the other camper beside the witness saw nothing, and a next-day search found no signs.
