Daytime sighting by young girl hiking with family north of Fairfield

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.

Winter 1987 Bonner’s Ferry, Boundary County, Idaho Class B #2060

Hunter experiences terrifying scream.

While walking to a duck blind in the early morning, the witness and companions heard trees snapping and movement in nearby timber. Later, while walking back alone to the truck for shells, the witness again heard branches breaking and movement paralleling him that stopped when he stopped. When he raised his empty shotgun toward the sound, a loud long guttural scream echoed through the trees, which companions back at the pond also heard, terrifying the witness who ran to lock himself in the truck.

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.

September 1980 McCall, Valley County, Idaho Class B #58890

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.

Young boy views bigfoot through window

At dawn on a snowy morning a child resting on a living-room couch noticed a moving shape reflected in the television screen and then looked out the window. A large hairy face was peering inside from a few feet away and looked directly at the child. The terrified child fled upstairs to a relative, and holes in the snow were later seen where the figure had stood.

Multiple sightings by northern Idaho family

The witness was waiting with his son and daughter when their dog became agitated and stared uphill.

At about eight feet under fallen logs it hissed and swatted at the dog while the daughter ran downhill, and the witness did not crawl under to look closer.

Mountain goat hunters have encounter with 8'-9' tall biped

In late August 1973, two companions setting up a hunting camp at night heard loud screams, whistles, and brush thrashing around them and retreated into their truck cab.

The witness later felt the animal had no intent to harm them.

Scream in Idaho

The guest and family were sleeping at a remote mountain cabin when they heard a high-pitched scream likened to a woman being assaulted. They turned lights on and stayed inside. Next day they learned everyone across the camp heard it near their own cabins, leading to belief multiple creatures circled the camp.

Sasquatch sighting in Idaho

A year after Colorado, the guest was rifle hunting elk with his father and twelve others in the Frank Church Wilderness. One early morning he heard a moose-like grunt, saw a large brown creature approaching about 210 yards away, and fired two rifle shots, believing he hit its shoulder and back. The group found droplets of blood and high blood spray on aspens but, after two days searching, never recovered the animal.
