Man remembers a late night "camp-circling" along with several other young Marines outside of Albany

Three young Marines were sleeping at a creekside camp when one awoke to sounds of something large in the woods.

They built up the fire, stayed awake until dawn, then extinguished it and walked out, and afterward never stayed overnight there again.

Two servicemen from Hunter Army Airfield describe tent stalking incident on uninhabited Little Tybee Island

Two hunters camping on a remote barrier island awoke in their tent at night to the sound of bipedal footsteps approaching. After silence, something struck their tent and they exited with lights to see a dark, man-sized figure running toward the marsh. They chased it to the marsh edge but could not catch it, and noted a musky odor. They later verified no other boats were present and concluded a person could not have been out in the freezing conditions.

The witness estimated it was about seven feet tall, very thin with wide hips, long arms, and a pointed crest on its head.
