Camping family glimpses a grey animal twice in three days

6 July 2005 night, after 10 p.m. Page Springs, Yavapai County, Arizona 2 witnesses

Account

The witness was camping with kids on Oak Creek in July 2005. On two nights after 10 p.m. the witness and her daughter saw a short grey slender shape dash behind trees and run toward cover near the river, followed once by a thud and high-pitched shrieks. The family also heard patterned rock clicks and nearby walking and breathing, and noticed a skunk-like odor. The family became frightened and packed to leave.
