Daytime sighting by young girl hiking with family north of Fairfield

August 1988 approx seven o'clock p.m. into dusk and dark Fairfield, Camas County, Idaho 5 witnesses

Account

While camping with family near a ghost town, the group walked back toward camp with their dog. After the dog was sent into brush, yelped, and fled to camp, the nine-year-old [name withheld] saw a tall hair-covered figure standing uphill watching them. The family ran to camp, set up a string-and-can perimeter alarm, then heard growling and rattling around the perimeter before packing up and leaving.
