Camper has a possible afternoon sighting at USFS campground near the town of Strawberry
Account
The witness was camping and sitting in shade at a developed campground when a fast-moving dark figure crossed the campground north to south about 125 yards away. The sighting lasted about three seconds and showed only the torso from the hips up, described as very thick and dark with a reddish tint, with little to no neck and a slight forward lean while running. The witness later inspected the path and reported crushed grass and a crushed fern along the suspected route toward thick timber.
