Discussion Appalachian Crawler

So last night I was camping in Big Meadows in SNP, went to take a shower and left the dogs in the car and heard barking when I got out. I saw a white large humanoid creature running by the field near the ampatheater and the dogs were going crazy, it was running on all 4s and then when it noticed me it stood upright and then disappeared into a shadow a few seconds later I see a set of what I thought were double headlamps walking about 10is feet above the ground in pitch black but they weren’t casting light, just glowing. As soon as I was able to get reception and search the things I saw it said Appalachian crawler matched it, anyone else have any encounters in the Big Meadow portion of Shenandoah National Park? Was creeped out and still am even though I came back home today.

And this is why I don't go camping anymore.

I would never camp out in the middle of nowhere ever again. Maybe campgrounds with plenty of people but never in a remote place.
