Account
Around 3 a.m. the witness was in camp when a large animal was heard moving through from dense cover. The witness stayed quiet and listened as it moved on out. Later the group compared notes and all said they heard it, with one companion saying he saw a human-like silhouette and suggesting the witness was the source.
