Account
The witness was tent camping with family when the husband reportedly saw eyeshine across the road that sidestepped behind a tree. Around 1:30-2 a.m. the witness heard loud bipedal running come down a slope to the tent, then stop with heavy breathing just outside for several minutes before going silent. The party left at daylight without checking for tracks.
