Sasquatch sighting near New Meadows, Idaho (2026)

A group of about ten young campers spent Memorial weekend at a secluded forest clearing. After earlier strange sounds and a brief sighting, one camper encountered a tall bipedal figure near the camp bathroom area and alerted the group. Several campers armed themselves, moved children into a vehicle, fired warning shots, and pursued the figure toward a nearby friends camp where they reported being circled by three tall dark-furred bipeds. The following mornings the group reported handprints on vehicles, footprints, nests, and broken-tree crosses and teepee structures around both camps.

A morning search found no tracks besides their own, no vocalizations were heard, and the indoor dog remained quiet.

Hunter's whistles answered while digiscoping a Moose on Fort Hall Indian Reservation

While hunting in southeast Idaho in fall 2016, the witness was photographing a moose through a spotting scope and whistled to make it stop. Five high-pitched whistles came in immediate response from a brush patch, which the witness believed was not the moose. The witness then saw what looked like brown eyes in the brush where the moose had put its head down, and took grainy photos that showed nothing significant.
