Father and son experience "disappearing stump" on Carmen Creek Road while scouting for deer during the day outside the city of Salmon
The witness and his son were driving on a rough road while hunting for deer late in the day. The witness stopped to scan a ridge about 300 yards away and saw a large dark standing figure near a tree that they joked looked like Bigfoot but assumed was a stump. After driving to a dead end and returning less than three minutes later, the figure was gone. The witness remains uncertain what it was and is not convinced it was Bigfoot.
Series of loud vocalizations from two sources heard in the Yellowjacket Mountains
The witness and a relative camped at the end of a forest road and prepared to sleep in their tent. They heard loud hair-raising howl-like screams coming from opposite directions for several minutes, as if two sources were calling back and forth. Minutes after the sounds stopped, a foul rotting odor drifted through camp while the forest remained completely silent.
Runner finds large tracks near North Fork
The witness ran about three miles up an unused dusty fire road while making noise with rocks in a bottle to avoid bears, then turned back. About a mile into the return they noticed two sets of large human-like footprints crossing their own tracks diagonally that had not been there on the way up. The witness described a large set and a smaller miniature set and then ran out of the area quickly.
Witness spots a seven foot tall, brown creature in his headlights
The witness was driving on a road north of the Salmon River around midnight after dropping off companions. Headlights illuminated a brown upright animal about seven feet tall standing on the road. After about ten seconds the animal jumped agilely off the road down toward the narrow river bottom.
Strange loud sounds; track discovered the following day
As a teenager camping with a relative and a companion, the witness heard a loud evening vocalization at bedtime that was first thought to be an elk bugle but the relative disagreed. The next morning while preparing to pack into nearby lakes, the group found a single track in a marshy area near the trailhead. The witness and companion were frightened by the find and did not discuss it further.
