Boy has encounter while sleeping in tent
Account
The witness was sleeping in a tent on a full-moon night and was awakened by gunfire and shouting. Shortly after, garbage cans were thrown, loud footsteps approached, and an entity pawed the tent while breathing and mumbling and circling for about two hours. The witness called for help, a relative emerged with a shotgun, and a next-morning search found no footprints in gravel.
