Camper hears something walking around her tent
Account
The witness camped alone in a tent after car trouble forced an unplanned overnight stop. Around 11:10 p.m. the witness was awakened by something lifting and dropping the picnic table, banging a fruit bowl, circling the tent with loud heavy bipedal steps, and making human-like wailing sounds. The witness stayed inside in fear and later heard it cross the stream and climb the hill. Next morning the fruit was untouched but the table was damaged and large human-like footprints were found nearby.
