Birds, an owl, and distant dogs vocalized during the sequence, which ended with a long wail, after which the woods went quiet. The pair left the area the next morning.

The witness and companions were camping overnight when they were awakened about 1 a.m. by loud, heavy bipedal footsteps moving around their campsites and breaking branches and leaves near the wood line. They judged the source to be very large and heavy and ruled out deer, horse, or bear because it walked like a person on two feet. No vocalizations were heard, no footprints were found, and no food was disturbed.

The being paralleled him for 20-25 minutes, then crouched low when approached, producing a strange odor and low growl. After hearing large movement behind him, the witness retreated to the trail and watched the first being stand upright and stare, as a second much larger dark being appeared beside it before he ran home.
