Account
Two companions were camping and got out of their tent in the morning intending to fish when they heard loud vocalizations from the woods. After shouting back, a rock was thrown from the forest nearly hitting one of them. Both then saw a bigfoot standing by a tree watching them, which ran off after eye contact, frightening them so badly they never returned to the campground.
