Account

A young woman and her boyfriend camped at a water-access-only site with their tent near a mound. They smelled a strong foul odor, then heard prolonged grunting and snorting like something sniffing the air. The boyfriend threw beef jerky over the hill, but the sounds continued until they hunkered down and slept.
