Account

Five campers in Montana left their camp during a nighttime thunderstorm and saw a huge upright creature by a tree. After shotgun shots were fired nearby to scare it, the creature charged toward their car taking very long strides. They escaped by driving away when it was about 20 feet from the vehicle.
