Eight foot plus figure photographed peering into couple's RV near Red River

Early one morning while preparing to leave a campground, a couple noticed a large figure standing outside their trailer's bedroom window peering in. The privacy glass showed only a shadowy chest, head and part of an arm, which the companion photographed. When the witness opened a distant door and turned on a light, the figure was gone but quick footsteps were heard leaving down a gravel road. After sunrise they found large footprint-like impressions in the gravel near the trailer.

Professor and students discover series of large footprints crossing high mountain trail

The prints were described as huge, wide, unusually deep, and widely spaced on a steep snowy slope, heading away from the lake. The witness told the students the prints were probably enlarged hiker tracks but privately regarded them as extremely unusual.
