Please describe your encounter: Me and a few of my male companions were gathered around a campfire..One of my friends had passed out due to drinking and we had carried him inside of the tent..several hours later we heard groaning sounds coming from the direction of the tent. We thought nothing of it. Little did we know, Something had been watching us. The groaning went on for hours until we finally checked our drunk friend. He was silent and the groaning continued. I peered behind the tent in the direction I thought the sounds were coming from, and there it was about 15 feet from us appeared an ape like creature sleeping, It was rolling around as if it were trying to find a spot to get comfortable. I was quiet for several minutes and then I called to one of my friends to check this out. He came to see what the fuss was about and when he saw the ape like creature he screamed in fear. The creature raised its head, looking startled. It rose from the ground it appeared to be about 7 or 8 feet tall. It took off hastily.

Some where between 7 and 8 feet tall, Brownish hair that appeared to be about 2 to 3 inches thick around its body. I couldn't see very much in detail. These are the only facts I can give from what I've seen.
