Class B First-hand BFRO #59607

Campers describe stalking, rock-throwing and snapped trees in Lolo National Forest

6 June 2018 shortly after dark, around 10:30-11:00pm Bonner, Missoula County, Montana 3 witnesses

Account

The witnesses were camped for several weeks near forest land when on multiple nights they heard something large moving in brush and had rocks thrown at a tent. In daylight they found young trees broken off several feet above the ground near the camp and along the road, which they photographed. They first thought a bear was responsible but came to believe the visits were by a sasquatch.
