Account
The witness and a companion were camping overnight in sleeping bags with two other campers who were asleep. In the early morning the witness felt watched, sat up, and both awake campers saw a large totally black humanoid standing at the woods edge about a hundred feet away for several minutes. After sensing it meant no harm, both lay down and fell asleep. No odor or unusual sounds were noted.
