Camper describes activity 3 nights in a row; tent disturbed

On the final night of a spring-break campout, the witness and a companion were in a tent getting ready to sleep when something approached. The visitor paced by a truck, then repeatedly pulled and released a tarp, touched the tent zippers and doors, and was briefly seen in moonlight as a hair-covered human-like figure. It then kicked the tent, walked into a clear-cut throwing large logs and grunting, leaving a foul odor, broken tie-downs, and displaced logs.
