8'-9' Tall BF throws heavy objects, screams, and chases witness
Account
The witness was camping alone at dusk when he heard movement and grunting approaching the campsite and then had a stump and a log thrown close to him. He fled down a trail while hearing running steps alongside him, then encountered a very tall standing figure that screamed. He ran to a companion's home and returned hours later to find the tent torn down and the thrown wood on the ground.
