A young resident walking home late at night from a locked campground gate along a creek was followed by a creature that made heavy bipedal splashes, approached closely and grabbed at a bag of candy, leaving a bruise. The young resident dropped the bag and ran home in shock. While recounting the incident at home, the creature appeared outside a window staring in, causing the older resident at the window to stumble back in shock.
