Account

A father and teenage son were tent camping while archery hunting. They heard mumbling vocalizations, footsteps, movement around the tent and truck, and saw a large three-fingered hand push the tent wall. They later saw figures watching from behind the truck and a tree and left at dawn after hours of activity.
