Account

At age 17 the witness and two friends ditched school to explore near Lake Arrowhead and found a vacant UCLA camp. He became separated and saw an upright brown figure about 50 yards away that quickly left without audible departure. Later that night all three heard loud footsteps around their van, found nothing, and left.
