Account

The witness and the witness's young daughter left their tent at a campground around 1 a.m. to use the restroom after hearing rustling behind the tent. They saw a tall white-furred figure standing beside a pine tree looking at them. They went back into the tent without speaking, confirmed they had seen the same thing, stayed awake, and heard more rustling and distant dogs through the night.
