Incident #1001495
Big Bear Lake, San Bernadino Cty, California
Oct 1993
Account
Brian Butler was sleeping in his van at Barton Flats campground when he heard something walking outside and then the van was shaken violently. He yelled and the shaking stopped. He then shined a flashlight outside and saw an upright walking figure, completely covered with hair, head into the forest. Smell like a cesspool around. Friends sleeping in a tent said pebbles had been tossed at it. Glowing yellowish eyes seen through trees when they first arrived.
