Account
The witness was camping by a lake with her husband and child, first by the campfire and then lying in the tent listening to night animals. The night sounds went silent, then she heard crashing down the hill on the other side and splashing as something appeared to wade through the water toward camp. She woke her husband and they both noticed a very bad catbox-like odor. They left once normal frog and night sounds resumed.
