The witness and family were sleeping in a motorhome when the witness and father were awakened by movement outside around 4 a.m. The father turned on the exterior light and both saw a huge hairy figure standing nearby with its head obscured by the awning. The figure walked slowly away into the night, after which the family left the area quickly.
