TIME:                   Late evening

LOCATION:        North Bay Ontario,Canada

TERRAIN:          Wooded
 

OBSERVED:    I was out camping with my friends 2 days ago and we were all in the tent and we heard a noise coming from the back of the tent. It sounded about 30-50 feet away. We jumped out of the tent and scrambled out the tent with our flash lights (we are 16-17 year old girls so we were all hiding behind John, Trever and Steve.) then we saw movment in the trees. All of a sudden this thing about 7 feet tall ran out into the clearing where we were camping just skidding around the edge and then ran back into the woods. We never slept that night.
 

ACTIVITIES OF WITNESS(ES):  We were in the tent, eating chips and pop, we talking about a person we know. We were just getting ready for bed I am guessing it was about 12-1 in the morning.
 

DESCRIPTION OF CREATURE:  It was about 7 feet tall with dark fur covering it and it's face looked like a gorilla. that is the best I could describe it.
 

OTHER NOTES:  The noise was like my mom yelling at me. A yell is what it was.  The thing charged at us like a mother bear protecting it's baby!
