Class B First-hand BFRO #14987

Family in a camper describes stalking outside town of Hatfield

April 2004 about 2:00 am Hatfield, Clark County, Wisconsin 5 witnesses

Account

A couple camping overnight in a camper with their children awoke around 2 a.m. to the sound of bipedal footsteps circling the camper. After turning on lights, shouting, and checking outside with a flashlight revealed nothing and the steps repeatedly resumed, the family left for a town parking lot. They returned in the morning but found no tracks in the leaf-covered ground.
