Backpackers describe possible camp stalking by a sasquatch around midnight near Salmo-Priest Wilderness
Three campers were sleeping in tents at a wilderness campsite when they heard three loud bounces around midnight.

The witness continued on, initially rationalizing it as a person, but later concluded it was not human due to its height, very long arms and odd movement.
