Class B First-hand BFRO #14323

Possible camp stalking in Jones Valley, Lake Shasta

19 April 2003 about 22:00 Jones Valley, Lake Shasta, Shasta County, California 2 witnesses

Account

Late at night while sitting by a nearly out campfire, the witness heard branches breaking at decreasing distances and then very heavy bipedal-sounding footsteps approaching. After waking a companion, both heard a few more steps before the sounds stopped. Nothing was seen because it was dark and the source was in trees. No footprints were searched for the next day.
