We were on a camping trip with a few friends. At 12 o’clock we decided to go to sleep.
At around one o’clock one of us (Mattieu) woke up because he heard something outside the tent. It was breathing heavily. He woke us up and we got out of our tent to see what was going on. Mattieu thought it was a bear, but when we had a better look, it wasn’t a bear but something much bigger! When he spotted us, he started walking away slowly while breathing heavily. We managed to take a picture, but by that time he was quite far away. One of our friends (Marlene) still has nightmares about the creature. Mattieu tried to tell people but whenever he did they would laugh in his face…
