Account

The witness was camping overnight in a tent with two companions. Around 4 a.m. the witness woke to loud heavy footsteps moving away from camp and found the tent door half open with a damaged zipper. The witness searched with a spotlight, saw no one, and noted the steps stopped while a foul odor like dirty feet and urine lingered. Earlier that night the group had heard loud screaming and growling amid barking dogs.
