Account
The witness was camping with friends on a relative's farm when they heard noises from woods to the north. A deer ran past their campfire and they heard movement as if something was walking around their campsite. Thinking it might be a bear, they readied rifles until the sounds faded after about ten minutes. They were left with the impression of something large moving upright.
