A California man and his girlfriend rode their mountain bikes to the Moab Desert in Utah. One night, while in their tent, they heard the sounds of a huge bipedal creature walking around the campsite.
"I'm an avid mountain bike rider. Back in July 1995, Sue, my girlfriend at the time, and I took a mountain bike camping vacation from California to Moab, Utah. We had set up camp in the middle of the Moab Desert. We were alone as far as you could see and you could see across the desert with no obstructions.
One night, about an hour into our sleep, we were woken up by something that my brain would not let me accept at the time. We could hear something walking up to our tent and around the general area. We whispered to each other, "What the hell is that?" The steps were from a two-legged animal. The amount of noise it was making was equivalent to what a large truck would make driving on a crushed rock road. Each time it stepped you could hear it walking towards the tent and with just a few steps it was inches away. At first, we thought maybe it was a person. But no, it's much too big. Maybe a bear? No, it would not be walking with only two legs and with what sounded like long steps. It had to have been at least 600-800 lbs. by the noise it was making with each step.
We were almost frozen with fear as each move we made impaired our hearing. All we could do was monitor this large creature. The fear and hopelessness we felt were off the charts as we heard it slowly step towards our tent, get to within a foot, and then stay there for 10 to 20 minutes, then walk around the campsite for another 10 minutes, and then it left. We couldn't sleep for hours.
It's been 25 years, but I remember it like it was yesterday. We pulled up stakes and left the desert the next day. Before we would sleep at night my girlfriend would question whether I had my Beretta 9mm under my pillow at night. When we camped after that, every night she religiously asked if I had my gun. I remember the next morning we did talk about it. Sue, who was Native American, said a few things about it might be a Sasquatch since her people believed in them. At the time, I was just confused. But in hindsight, what we experienced didn't compute. After discussing it, we pretty much concluded we didn't know what the hell it was. But it was freaking big and we're lucky we are still alive."
