Account
The witness was sleeping in a camper around midnight and awoke with a sense of uneasiness to loud heavy movement and arm-swing sounds passing by the camper, but saw nothing when looking out. The next day a relative said they had seen a tall dark furry figure with very wide shoulders and long arms walking away from the camper area with long strides. Both concluded the figure was a bigfoot.
