Possible stalking outside a campers' tent in the White Knob mountains

August 2004 between midnight and 1:00am Mackay, Custer County, Idaho 1 witness

Account

On the last night of a camping trip, the witness lay awake in a tent around midnight and heard close footsteps and deep breathing from a large presence outside. The witness sat up, armed, and turned on a flashlight, after which all sounds stopped and a sudden intense dread lifted. No animal was seen, no odor was noticed, and nothing further happened that night.
