Memory of a moonlight sighting as a Boy Scout at Payette Lake near McCall

The witness and a companion were walking back to their campsite at night when they stopped on a small bridge over a stream. They watched a fur-covered figure crouched at the water's edge drinking with its hand. The figure stood to at least eight feet, stared at them without blinking for a minute or two, then resumed drinking as the two left in fear.

Members of a Boy Scout troop hear possible vocalizations at Loon Lake

The witness was camping with a scout group at Loon Lake when two groups of loud, low howl-like calls were heard from a distance through the forest in the early morning. The witness, accompanied by relatives in the tent, described the calls as powerful and haunting and thought they came from a very large animal. Other campers also heard the sounds, with some attributing them to wolves, while the witness later felt they matched a sasquatch howl recording.

Memory told of a scary nighttime encounter with a tall, bright green-eyed animal while fishing at a mountain lake near McCall

Two companions fishing at a mountain lake got off the trail in thick brush on a very dark stormy night and noticed bright green eyes watching them from well above ground level. The figure with the eyes followed them to the lakeshore and then to their truck, staying in the trees and staring without sound or movement even when they charged toward it yelling. They backed away slowly, freed their stuck truck, and drove home, telling no one for years.
