Sasquatch sighting near Idaho Falls, Idaho (2016)

After an argument, the witness drove into mountains outside town to sleep in his car by a creek. While sitting in the car using his phone, he looked up and saw a large hairy biped standing with its back to him in the creek. When he turned on the headlights it dropped instantly and reappeared peering through bushes at the bank, locking eyes briefly before he reversed and fled.

Summer 2007 McCall, Valley County, Idaho Class A #57970

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.

July 2005 Troy, Latah County, Idaho Class A #12913

Long-duration daylight sighting (distant) on Moscow Mountain

Two companions resting on a high rock overlook watched a large dark biped and a smaller blonde biped moving below in a clear-cut and on a fire road. Over about 20 minutes the figures foraged, interacted closely, and walked erect toward and past the observers before disappearing behind trees. Later the same day the witnesses returned to the spot and reported crushed grass, long stride impressions, and large and small bare footprints.

Daytime sighting by young girl hiking with family north of Fairfield

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.

October 1977 Camas County, Idaho Class A #2061

In the Sawtooth Nat'l Forest, three forestry workers spot a eight to nine foot tall figure walking on 2 legs across a clearing located about 150 yards upslope

The witness was driving with two coworkers on a road below a clearing when all three saw a bipedal figure cross the clearing about 150 yards upslope. The witness estimated the figure was at least 8 to 9 feet tall and crossed at least 150 yards in 20 seconds at a leisurely pace. The coworkers thought it was a man in dark clothing, but the witness disagreed. A later visit to the clearing found no tracks because the ground was too grassy.

not too much longer after first encounter (1940s) St. Anthony, Idaho #http://www.blogtalkradio.com/bigfoothotspot/2017/11/03/sc-ep376-the-dog

Cryptid sighting near St. Anthony, Idaho

Soon after the first incident, while riding horseback in sparse pasture, the diarist found two 4-5 foot tall owl-like beings with large eyes and sockets. They did not flee; they stepped toward him as he stepped, stared, and seemed to look at each other as if communicating. He circled them on horseback, tried shouting and waving, then rode home for a .22 to shoot around them, but they were gone on return.
