The witness was camping alone in a hammock in the Citico Creek area late at night when he heard heavy movement coming down a steep overgrown hillside across the trail. The source moved parallel to the trail, crossed to his side, and circled his camp intermittently for several hours despite a fire being built to scare it off.
