Youth catches standing figure in flashlight glow during camp-out

Around May 1970 the witness was camping with family at a lakeside campground and lay awake in a tent near midnight. After hearing trash being disturbed, the witness stepped out barefoot with a flashlight and saw a small upright furry creature looking into a hanging trash bag. The creature turned, made a squeal-grunt cry, and dashed away while the witness ran shouting to wake relatives. No tracks were found afterward because the area was trampled.

A trail camera set for drug-trafficking surveillance far back in the forest was found ripped off its tree. The short video appears to show a bipedal animal deliberately covering the camera with handfuls of leaves. The officer who retrieved it did not know what to make of it but said it was not a bear.
