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.

Paddleboarder spots two bigfoots in daylight near edge of the Meanders section of Payette River north of McCall

The witness and a companion were paddleboarding on a slow river after the seasonal crowds had left. From a sandbar the witness saw two large dark figures standing together in trees across the river watching. After attempting to film with a camera that failed to record, the figures were gone. The witness paddled toward the area, took cell phone photos of a possible face in the trees, then felt unwelcome and left.

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.

December 2012 Kamiah, Idaho County, Idaho Class A #38287

Dogs alert homeowner to a late night visitor outside Kamiah

The witness was awakened around 3:30 a.m. by dogs barking in an outdoor kennel and went outside with a flashlight to investigate. She noticed movement near fruit trees by the driveway and saw a very tall figure that paused behind a tree before running uphill on two legs with swinging arms. The figure looked pale silvery-gray and shaggy, glanced over its shoulder, then leapt off the road down a steep embankment into brush. Next morning she found matted grass and a hole in the bramble where it left the road, but no clear tracks.

June 2010 Coeur D'Alene, Kootenai County, Idaho Class B #30868

Tracks found during a nature ride near Mica Peak

Two quad riders stopped near waterfalls and discovered a large footprint on a trail, photographing it with a shoe for scale. The witness later visited the site with a relative and observed additional prints descending a hillside and crossing the trail into cedar trees. An attempt to make a plaster cast failed for lack of plaster, and rain later washed the imprint away.

Screaming and eyeshine witnessed by hunter in the Big Hole Mountains

The witness was riding horseback at night near a creek confluence when a loud raspy scream was heard repeatedly from about 40 yards away in the creek. A second animal to the east answered with a loud whistle and rapid grunts. After turning on lights the witness saw eyeshine from the creek, lost it, then later saw two pairs of eyes on the far bank that turned and moved away.

Possible tracks found outside Clark Fork, near Spring Creek Road

The witness was walking in hills several miles from the house when they came across large prints in snow. The prints were described as 15-17 inches long, wide, with toes, and the witness stepped on one before noticing them. The witness took photos and later described three good bipedal prints that dwarfed a size 13 boot, noting melt-freeze conditions may have enlarged them.
