I feel that it might be possible & here is my reason why.....

About 5 years ago myself & my X were camping at Whiskeytown Lake near Mt.
Shasta
in Northern California.We arrived at around 130am so everyone in the area
was asleep. Her parents set up the tent before we arrived so we didn't have
to set it up.(Thank Goodness) Our tent was one of those Bigtop style
montsers that has a very large opening for a door. I think its dimensions
were 10'X12'.At any rate
the door of the tent was facing the water,we were approximately 10-15' away
from the water with NO OBSTRUCTIONS.There were quite a few campers in the
area . It was surprisingly warm,so much so that we decided to sleep with
the outer doors rolled back & tied with nothing but the bug net screen door
between us & the outside world.

It must have been 200am by the time we finally went to sleep.I am a very
HEAVY
sleeper.....I mean anti-aircraft fire could be going off next door & I
won't wake up,on the other hand, My X was a very light sleeper. I am very
slow person to wake up also.It's like being born every day of my life,a
struggle.

What happened next was one of a few strange things that has happened to me
in my life.I'm not sure exactly what time it was but it was pre-sunrise(you
know when the sun has not come up over the horizen but the light begins to
dominate over  the darkness.Well like I said , I never wake up but that
morning I woke out of a dead sleep & sat strait UP! Looked out of the
screen door to see to my amazement
7-10' creature standing about 5-6' away......staring at me.I could not
really see its eyes but it was apparently facing my direction. I then
rubbed my eyes violently & took a second look.....HOLY SHIT this thing is
still standing there motionless.Boy the butterflies in my stomach felt like
bats racing through my innards,man was I scared.I could see the outline of
hair all over its body,(like Chewbacca from Star Wars)except for its legs.
The legs were covered with 
scales/plates or body armor type stuff,it was not light enough to get a
real 
good look at it..too strange. I then after about what seemed like forever
(probably more like 30 seconds) I turned to my X and tried to wake her up
to see this thing. She would not wake up & I shook her pretty good. Finally
she came around but she was really groggy. I then turned back around to
show her this thing but it was G-O-N-E. No sound of footsteps or
anything....just gone. My X was not to happy that I woke her up & went back
to sleep. I ,on the other had was pretty shook up. I didn't like the idea
that a BIG critter could just materialize in our campsite & then just
vanish. I never got the feeling it was trying to communicate with me or
anything like that. I did not get up to go & check it out,,which was
strange cause normally I am a curious person.I finally made it back to
sleep.What a night!!

In closing I would like to say that although no one else had seen (I asked
alot of people )this thing in the area I believe it was real. The silouette
sticks in my mind very clearly to this day.Very odd experience.

BTW roughly 2 weeks later both my X & I woke up with bloody noses at the
same time.(& no we didn't bump heads in the middle of the night.)
