A couple that was staying the night at the lake both heard footsteps and saw the lintel on the door being lifted and set back down. The doorknob turned, too, but there was nobody there.

Other visitors have heard footsteps right around their beds in cabins while they were trying to sleep, and those same footsteps around their tents if they were sleeping on the ground. The footsteps simply stop instead of sounding as if someone is walking away.
