Campers on Mount Graham are frightened by late-night visitor

June 2013 about 1:00 am and 4:00 am Safford, Graham County, Arizona 5 witnesses

Account

The witness was camping with extended family in multiple tents when awakened after midnight by rhythmic tapping and footsteps moving around the tents. A dog in camp whimpered, and relatives in another tent reported footsteps, heavy breathing, and two individuals apparently communicating before one screamed. The witness and his father exited their tent within seconds and saw nothing. Around 4 a.m. the camp again heard rocks clicking and chattering from dense woods about 50 yards away.
