Campers describe a possible approach to a camp near Lake George, Adirondacks

2000–2001 between 3:00-3:15am Hague, Warren County, New York 2 witnesses

Account

Six people were camping at a lakeside site late at night. After most of the group went to bed, the witness entered a tent set very close to the water. The witness and a companion heard splashing and branches moving behind the tent, then the witness saw an elbow-like shape drag down the tent wall. This was followed by loud heavy thuds of something running away from camp.
