Class A First-hand BFRO #2062

Two Hunters hear screams from forest and see a sasquatch, find mangled trees and brush as evidence the next morning

10 October 1995 late evening around 6:00 PM, pitch black Elk River, Clearwater County, Idaho 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were at a remote camp in the evening when they heard a loud mule-like wailing scream and then saw a tall hairy creature with a relatively hairless face in a spotlight. The creature showed eye reflection, covered its eyes from the light, braced between two small trees with large hairless-palmed hands, then shambled away. The pair heard movement around camp all night and the next day found freshly twisted tree limbs nearby but no usable tracks due to dry ground.
