Young male hiker experiences strange events and finds possible tracks at a campground in the Blue Mountains
Account
The witness camped alone at Skyline Campground and hiked toward the wilderness. While setting up camp and hiking he felt a ground thump, heard repeated low growls and tree-knocking that seemed to mimic his own thumps, and found multiple footprints including a well-defined deep print. After the other campers left and the sounds resumed behind his site in the early evening, he left the area frightened.
