An account in Tuolumne County, California

During the last week of August, 1999, myself and a friend left the Kennedy trailhead about an hour before dark. After about 1.5-2 hours of hiking, we decided to camp. We had just crossed the first major bridge over the Kennedy Soda Can Creek, and we doubled back a ways to a flat spot to camp for the night. We were about 15 yards from the creek itself. Around midnight to 1:00 a.m., I was drifting off to sleep when I heard a large, heavy, two-legged creature walking across the creek. Since the creek was deep, I could clearly hear it splashing. It would walk a little while, stop, then continue. This went on for about a minute. Although we did see another camper about 200-300 feet away, I can't imagine why someone would be walking across the creek at that time of night.
