Early morning visitor forces couple to flee camp near Gilbertsville
Account
The witness and his wife were sleeping in a tent at a remote campground when nocturnal animal calls erupted and then suddenly stopped. They then heard loud heavy bipedal footsteps with cracking wood approaching their camp. The witness searched the treeline with a flashlight and vehicle high beams but saw nothing, then the entity ran away crashing through limbs and exhaling loudly. At daylight they found broken branches and bare-foot slide marks, then broke camp and left.
