The witness was camping overnight in a camper near a river with a companion. After being awakened at night, the witness looked out the camper window and saw a figure described as a Bigfoot in lantern light, but only its back was visible before it left. Later the same night the witness heard slow rock-on-rock taps followed about fifteen minutes later by faster taps from a different direction.
