One of the men came back to the fire first because he couldn’t get over the feeling he was getting. The other men at the campfire heard a whistling sound and we thought it was the man who went for firewood. The whistling sounds continued along with strange noises like something was trying to be quiet. The men shouted that they had guns and weren't afraid to shoot. The noises continued and got closer and closer. At one point one of the men saw something when he shined the flashlight in that direction. They all stood up and one man started shooting a bb gun into the woods trying to scare off whatever it was.  In return, a rock was thrown at them and missed the camp by 10 ft. A strange "throat clearing" sound was made. The men jumped in the trucks and went to the top of the hill. After about 20 minutes they started hearing the same noises, whistling and the rustling. The men left the area for a short time. When they came back a brown head was seen above bushes that were 7-8 ft high. The head promptly ducked into the bushes and upon investigation of the area, it was seen that there was a hill right behind the bushes that it probably ran into. They sat there astonished for a while and in the next couple of minutes they started hearing the same noises as before but coming from behind a trailer that was sitting in a patch of bare ground. The noises got closer and closer until they couldn’t stand it anymore. They left the area for the night. The next morning they went back to the camp and, found no signs of disturbance.

They seemed to have spotted it before it saw them. They were all stopped and focused on the creature when it spotted them. Its immediate reaction was to stop and crouch down to the ground. They could all still plainly see the creature at this time as it crouched on the ground facing them. It seemed to make a decision to itself that it was not hidden and they were looking at it. It then stood upright and began to run for cover. Its stride was long with its arms swinging near its knees. As it entered the tangled mess of the blowdown it went over, under and through the brush with a very convincing force. This very powerful and loud departure was all the convincing that any of them needed to conclude that what they just saw was no hoax. Tracks were found in the soft sand on the tram road. These measured approx. 15" long and approx. 6" wide.
