When I was in about 8 I was at my cabin sleeping at christmas break. It was about 12:00 am and I couldn't get to sleep at all for some odd reason. Anyways we have this boardwalk thingie on the edge of our cabin, and at the time the snow made that crunchy sound when you walk on it. So back to the story. I heard footsteps or should I say snow crunching. I figured it was just a racoon or any animal. Then I heard a deep growling like the raptors in jurassic park. Then again like in jurassic park I heard the raptor panting sound, Outside my window! I was freaked out so I didn't want to look at the tracks of whatever it was till morning. So when I finally went out and looked I found giant clown sized shoe tracks, and no one in the family had feet that size!
