July 2008 Christopher Creek, Coconino County, Arizona Class B #24218

Campers report harassment on the Mogollon Rim near Knoll Lake

The witness was reading in a parked van at a remote wooded campsite while a companion napped. After prolonged bark-tearing and movement sounds followed by silence, a long thick branch flew from the trees and struck the van's side mirror with enough force to shatter it. The witness saw its straight trajectory and concluded it had been thrown rather than fallen. Both occupants then watched and listened but detected nothing further at that time.
