Account
The witness and a companion were in their tent at night trying to sleep. A tall hairy figure was silhouetted between their tent and the campfire, repeatedly leaning from behind a tree and retreating when they moved. The witness twice tried to confront it with a flashlight but it hid, then it ran past the tent into the woods.
