at a campground with RV lodging and cottages. Lights lite the outside of the grounds encircling the cottages. Our RV was parked..
Description of event: It was 1974, of my 12yr. As we slept around 12 am I awoke to a strange odd feeling. Uneasiness. I immediately heard a loud sound of something walking next to our camper. It walked with a heaviness and I could hear the swooshing of the arms moving as it walked. I never heard footsteps, just the loud sound of heavy arms movement...like Swoosh...swoosh...long strides, heavy long strides. I peeked out the curtains to see nothing outside my camper window.
Next day me and dad went to pay the bill. My dad told the woman at the desk that he didn't know they had big security guards patrolling the property at night. The lady looked at my dad and told him with a shocked look on her face that they did not have security guards. Now mind you, I didn't tell my dad about what I had heard that night. My dad told me that he had seen a "man" or "thing" walking away from our camper and through a row of cottages taking long strides as it walked. He said it had to be at least 7ft tall with shoulders that were about 4ft wide. He said it was dark and furry. Dad said that the arms were long and swung with long extension. I told him I had heard it walk by our camper. I knew I heard the sound of a heavy, heavy something walking by. We knew, just knew, it was a bigfoot. Mom and dad had said that there had been a drought that year and that the lake was very low. Also that we were the only ones checked in that night as far as campers. I am not sure if the cottages had been rented.
It was an extremely quiet night, other than hearing bigfoot walk by. I can tell you that I definitely had an internal alarm go off from my dead sleep. Almost like my subconscious knew something was approaching. Then my ears perked up, then I heard it. I have never been the same since. I have been interested in this phenomena since then. I KNOW this creature is alive and living.
