Backpackers describe possible camp stalking by a sasquatch around midnight near Salmo-Priest Wilderness
Account
Three campers were sleeping in tents at a wilderness campsite when they heard three loud bounces around midnight. Two of them left the tents, heard something heavy run down the hill, and threw rocks toward it without seeing anything. The next morning they recreated a very similar bouncing sound by throwing a log, then packed out early without spending a second night.
