Young couple have unusual late night experience near Weaverville

7 August 2001 around 2 a.m. Weaverville, Trinity County, California 2 witnesses

Account

A couple sleeping in a rented fifth-wheel trailer at a campground were awakened around 2 a.m. by sounds outside. The wife reported padded footsteps circling the trailer, followed by pressure on the exterior step that shook the trailer while their normally vocal dog stayed silent. The occupants remained inside in fear and later closed windows and fell asleep; companions camped nearby said they heard nothing.
