Account
Five people set up tents near a river after finding campgrounds crowded and heard tree knocks from two directions. Branches and large limbs broke as something approached from opposite sides, a gun was fired, and a distant howl and a close roar were heard. The friend's father said something grabbed his hand and shirt, leaving a red mark and bruise, and the group fled by car.
