7 October 2009 Council, Adams County, Idaho Class B #65779

Hunter describes trailer shaking then scream/howl outside Council on boundary of Payette NF and Boise NF

The witness was sleeping in a travel trailer at a hunting camp when violent shaking woke him. An air horn had no effect, but setting off the truck panic alarm with lights and horn stopped the shaking. About five minutes later a very loud howl-growl-scream came from behind the trailer. The next day the witness and a companion could not replicate the movement by pushing the trailer.

Husband and wife riding ATV's along the Payette River see a Bigfoot

They reunited, compared notes, and later found sign where an animal had passed. Both concluded they had seen the same Bigfoot-like animal.

September 2001 Stanley, Custer County, Idaho Class B #13717

Possible vocalizations heard by staff at Redfish Lake near Stanley

Around midnight in September, the witness was walking between facilities when loud growl-to-scream vocalizations began from a creek bed about 300 yards away. The calls repeated 10-15 times over 15-20 minutes while the source seemed to move nearer, farther, and side to side. The witness brought a neighbor outside so both heard the sounds, then returned to the cabin and kept weapons close. A next-day search of the creek bed found no tracks or other sign.

Series of loud vocalizations from two sources heard in the Yellowjacket Mountains

The witness and a relative camped at the end of a forest road and prepared to sleep in their tent. They heard loud hair-raising howl-like screams coming from opposite directions for several minutes, as if two sources were calling back and forth. Minutes after the sounds stopped, a foul rotting odor drifted through camp while the forest remained completely silent.
