Account
A group camping overnight in tents was awakened around midnight by very heavy, loud footsteps and sounds of something rummaging through pots and pans. The campers yelled to scare it off, then heard it walking around the tents while their dog remained unusually still and silent. After about 30 minutes they dressed, ran to their trucks and drove home without seeing anything, returning the next day to find camp items scattered but no tracks.
