Stalking by a large creature around family tents at midnight at Skookumchuck Reservoir

The witness was lying awake in a tent at a restricted lakeside camp around midnight when she heard slow, rhythmic footsteps circling the campsite for about 45 minutes. The walker paused near food areas, approached another tent when a child cried, and left after a car alarm sounded, stepping over a fence into the woods. She never opened the tent to look and concluded from the stride and sounds that it was not human.

Camper photographs possible footprints at Lena Lake in the Buckhorn Wilderness

The witness was backpacking with a relative and a group at an alpine lake and went to explore the shore alone in the evening.

She tested the mud firmness against her own weight, followed the prints from the water into gravel and rocks, and concluded they were not human.
