Campers hear noise in the woods and have their food raided
Account
The witness and a companion camped by a lake and heard loud branch-snapping sounds every 30 seconds or so for hours after sundown in complete darkness. They concluded the sounds could not be other campers or a bear and attributed them to Bigfoot. After the witness went to sleep in a van around 12:30 a.m., food was taken from the picnic table, with the companion reporting something running through camp around 3:30 a.m., and in the morning cookies were found scattered and a bread wrapper was found 50 yards away.
