near Bly Mt. - Kids and Mom in camper exoerience growling, the camper is shaken and they see a large hairy body outside
Account
Six occupants were inside a trailer at night when it began rocking on its foundation amid loud footsteps and strange breathing and rumbling sounds. Two occupants looking out a window saw only a dense mass of long glossy hair filling the view about six to seven feet off the ground. The group screamed loudly until the rocking and noises stopped. In the morning they found large handprints with thumbs in dust on the trailer roof but no tracks on the hard needle-covered ground.
