Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode we're talking about an Idaho Bigfoot Roundup.
That's correct, an Idaho Bigfoot Roundup.
This first encounter comes from October 7th, 2009 says Adams
County, Idaho. Location details Take the little
Wiser Rd. out of Indian Valley and turn S up to 718.
This happened just before 718 changes to 618 when entering
another National Forest. Note from Matt Moneymaker,
Boundary of Piatt National Forest and Boise National
Forest. Nearest Town Council nearest
Road 718, Forest Rd. observed I had set up hunting camp on
September 29th in preparation for the upcoming deer season
which did not start until October 10th.
On the night of October 7th, something woke me up and I set
up in bed just in time for the travel trailer to start shaking
rather violently. I sounded an air horn that was
sitting on the table and this had no effect at all.
I then grabbed my truck keys and pressed the panic button setting
off the horn and the lights flashing.
This stopped whatever was shaking the trailer.
After about 5 minutes I had calmed down when the awful howl
scream came from behind the trailer really loud and had a
terrifying impact on me. 60 plus years old at the time with years
and years experience in the mountains and this truly scared
me. We tried to replicate the
trailer movement the next day with a friend and I pushing on
it but could do nothing more than give the trailer a jolt.
Whatever rocked the trailer had superhuman strength and the lung
capacity to match. Could you imagine just being
there in that trailer by yourself out in this really
remote forested area and having your your little camper trailer
just go rocking back and forth? Amazing.
This is also noticed. I had heard coyotes every other
night for the preceding 6 days and some very strange and loud
sounds after the coyote vocalizations.
The closest camper from my location was 4 miles up the
road. Boy, he's out there in the
middle of nowhere. Other witnesses, no it says
sleeping. Other stories no times and
conditions says 24 AM middle of the night and very cold.
So it looks like it must have been about 12:30.
Environment, Pine, red fir and white fir forest down an old
road that goes to Indian Valley and had been blocked off because
of private property. I was camped right at the edge
of the private property. Then we have the follow up
investigation that says Matthew Moneymaker talks about him as
originally from Los Feliz District of Los Angeles, CA
Gives all of these butterfied. He's down here and he apparently
has talked to this guy and thinks that it's a pretty valid
account. Very, very interesting account
out there in the middle of this forest, 4 miles from the nearest
camper and you have this Bigfoot show up apparently just rocking
the living daylights out of that camper.
Let's take a look at another one here.
Here's an account reported by law enforcement.
It says 1990 October. Adams County again Idaho
location details. It was about 10 miles north of
council just after you start down Fort Hall Hill.
Nearest town council, nearest Rd.
US 95. I was working as a deputy
sheriff in Adams County. I was traveling N on US 95 about
10 miles north of council. Well after dark I was headed to
an accident scene at high speed with lights and siren.
A large hairy creature came up the embankment in front of my
car, crossed the road and went up the embankment on the
opposite side of the road. I have no idea how fast I was
traveling, but this if this had been a normal forest animal, I
would have hit it before it completed its crossing of the
road. I couldn't really tell what it
was except that it walked on two legs and had dark fur then.
This is also noticed several times I had removed small
boulders from the road in this area to keep cars from running
into them. Usually this happened after a
rainstorm, so it was probably not the creature.
I had smelled odors, something like that of strong rotting meat
in this area. Wow, the stories he says.
I have had several people say that their livestock were acting
strange. A fellow officer had cast a
large human like footprint he had found while hunting.
Well, I don't know what more you need than that.
Who would be who would be out there?
A super large person walking around this, you know, remote
forest in their bare feet. That's what I would like to
know. That would be one big dude if
that wasn't a Bigfoot And the fact this is a law enforcement
officer, you know, like I always say, these are the guys that
they're, they're considered a reliable witness.
If you go, if you ever go into court and you're up against a
law enforcement officer, you've got a major issue on your hand
because the the the judge is always going to take their word
over it unless, unless you can show that they're just straight
up lying. This guy, I don't think he's
lying. I feel like he's telling the
truth. He gives you details.
He's headed to an accident scene.
He's driving at high speed. This Bigfoot climbs the part of
the ditch, crosses the road in front of him before he even has
a chance to slow down. Now the investigator on this was
Roland Wolf says the ex deputy sheriff had a very good recall
of detail from this 1990 siding of an 8 1/2 foot to 9 foot tall
hairy biped that's big. As this large animal came from
the lower side of the road. The deputy got a partial frontal
view and said that the animal was two to three times his own
body width and had front facing eyes which reflected light from
his vehicle headlights. In just a few seconds, the
animal had crossed the road, went up the steep bank and went
into brush and was no longer visible when the deputy checked
his rear view mirror. The deputy could not determine
gender of the animal. The deputy used to have a
skeptical view of these types of reports.
An important word here used to Wow, what an amazing sighting.
Let's go ahead and take a look at this next one.
This next sighting happened August of 1988.
We're told Idaho, Kansas County nearest town, Fairfield, Idaho,
nearest Dirt Rd. Couch Summit Rd.
Take a look at what the experience here had to say.
They tell us. I was nine years old when my
family and I were camping at McCann Gulch, approximately 20
miles north of Fairfield, ID and Kansas County.
We were exploring an old mining camp that had, over the years,
transformed into a ghost town. The abandoned cabins were still
in reasonable shape, with sturdy stairs that allowed us to
explore the upper levels. After a while of shooting
pennies out of a wrist rocket and playing with my brother, my
dad told us to gather together and informed us that it was time
to return to camp. My brother was seven and my
youngest sister was just four months old, carried by my dad in
a pack on his back. As we set off on foot toward
camp, we formed a line, my stepmother in front, then my
brother followed me, with my dad taking up the rear.
Our family pet, a Chesapeake Bay retriever, was happily weaving
in and out of our line, sniffing around.
I wasn't very perceptive of the cues my parents were exchanging,
but when my dad called our dog back to him and commanded her to
sick, something he thought he'd heard in the bushes on her left,
I started paying attention. A brave and very loyal dog, she
obeyed and bolted straight into the thick bushes, barking at
whatever my dad had detected. Moments later, our dog yelped
briefly before bursting out of the bushes and escalating into a
full run toward our camp. She was an obedient and
intelligent dog, but despite my dad calling her name and
commanding her to return, she did not stop.
Sensing something was wrong, he told us to pick up the pace.
Though cautious, I wasn't yet frightened and continued
walking, trying to be more aware of my surroundings.
To my right, the mountain was steep, but about 10 to 15 feet
up it leveled out into what appeared to be a narrow path and
circling the mountain before steepening again.
As I glanced up at what I thought was a path, I was
startled to see something looking right back at me.
The figure was tall, like an adult, slightly hunched over but
not hunched back, with arms that were only slightly longer than
usual. It was covered in orangish
reddish brown hair from head to toe.
The figure appeared to be at a standstill, caught in mid stride
as if it had been walking parallel to us.
When I spotted it, the sight terrified me.
The next thing I remember, I was running to camp with the rest of
my family, crying and wanting to leave.
My dad had originally built a lean to that we were planning to
sleep under once we got back to camp.
He constructed a perimeter alarm out of a fishing string and pop
cans filled with pebbles, stringing it all the way around
our camp. Our dog, still unresponsive to
commands, huddled up toward the back window in the pickup as we
sat together, huddled and wanting to leave but waiting for
my dad to become as frightened as we were.
Our dog began to growl shortly after the pop cans around their
perimeter started rattling, which was enough to alarm my dad
into loading up and leaving. I tried to recount these details
as accurately as possible, but I was only nine years old, and
much of what I know about the dog's actions and my dad's
response comes from his telling of the story.
However, I know what I saw, and I'm certain it was a Sasquatch.
There's no other explanation. Wow, that's an amazing story.
It says other witnesses. I was with my dad, my 7 year old
brother, my four month old sister, and my stepmother.
Definitely a group sighting. As far as other stories goes, it
says I hadn't heard any other stories until today when my dad
told me about a forest Ranger, I think, who had cited one
approximately 12 years before our incident.
My dad read that story right here on your site.
That's pretty cool. It says it happened at 7:00 PM
just before dark in a pine forest near the ghost town of
Mccannon Gulch. That would just be an amazing
sighting there with your family, especially as a little kid.
I think that would just skirt the living daylights out of me.
Let's take a look at a couple more here and then we'll finish
this up. Here's another sighting from
back in the day, 1977. It says October late in the
month. State Idaho.
Kamas County. Again.
Location details. Sawtooth National Forest, Kamas
County, Idaho, about 30 miles north of the town of Fairfield
on a temporary logging Rd. about 3 or 4 miles northeast of Smokey
Dome Peak. We're seeing a lot of activity
around this town of Fairfield. It says observed late October of
1977. I'm sorry this report is so old,
but the two women that were with me, one of which was my
supervisor and one was the driver, had become very
frightened and immediately began dismissing what we had all seen.
Therefore, I figured there was no use in telling a story that
they were going to deny. But perhaps this will help
somebody's research. I saw a figure walking on two
legs across a clearing located about 150 yards up slope from
the road we were on. I was with two young women, Co
workers, US Forest. They refused to believe that it
was anything but a man in dark clothing.
I did not agree. I had walked the same clearing
myself, hunting, and there were some saplings scattered around
the clearing. Judging the relative size of the
trees, the comparative height of The Walking figure, and the
speed at which he crossed the clearing, I calculated that the
figure could not have been less than eight or nine feet in
height, and he covered a distance of at least 100 and 50
yards and no more than 20 seconds, and this was at a
leisurely pace. I later went up to see if there
were any tracks, and unfortunately it was too grassy.
I did try to cover the same ground as a walking figure, and
at a full run it still took me nearly a minute to cover the
same ground the figure had covered in 20 seconds.
I don't know what it was that I saw that day, but it was no
human being. Man, that's an amazing story,
Other witnesses says driving back from the sign installation
project environment, high Alpine area, elevation 10,000 feet.
Wow. Approximately 60% tread with
high altitude. Very steep country.
Loggers had to use highline method country too steep, too
steep for skidders. So this thing is really in a
remote area, 10,000 feet altitude.
I'm thinking for a person, if you aren't acclimated to that
altitude, it's going to be kind of hard to really even operate
physically at a normal level. Yet this thing is walking across
this 150 yard pace. It's almost like at the speed of
a horse trotting or something. Just an amazing sighting.
Let's take a look at this last one here.
The last sighting that we're looking at happened back on
August 24th, 1973. Nearest town?
Macau Valley County, Idaho Payette National Forest Hwy. #48
seems to be the nearest Rd. If we look at the account of the
experiencer, they tell us in early 1970s, specifically 1973,
my hunting partner and I had an encounter near a tributary of
the South Fork of the Salmon River drainage, close to the
Frank Church wilderness area east of McCall and West of
Yellow Pine, Idaho. One late August evening while
setting up camp for a mountain goat hunt, my friend and I
experienced something strange. We had set up camp at the back
of my truck, which I had backed off the road into a small
clearing surrounded by thick brush.
Behind the brush was a small Meadow and a dark timbered basin
enclosed on three sides by steepy rock ridges.
The 4th side dropped off into a Canyon leading to a portion of
the South Fork of the Salmon River.
It had gotten quite dark and we had a Lantern hung in a tree
over our cook table and Coleman stove.
We had put on some thick steaks that were cooking and filling
the entire basin with their aroma.
All of a sudden we heard a blood curdling scream followed by a
whistle not far from camp. A responding scream and whistle
came from high up to our left, some distance away.
We immediately grabbed our rifles, loaded them and leaned
them against the table within quick and easy reach.
For a while we had heard threshing in the thick brush,
indicating the close presence of a large animal.
Then the strangest thing happened.
Although we were shaking in our boots, we both looked at each
other and in the same breath said these guns are worthless.
Strangely, we unloaded and stored the guns in the rack in
the truck. We then returned to our meal as
we were starving with more screams, whistles and
thrashings. We moved our stove and table so
that the truck was between US and the noise.
All hell broke loose as the animal moved through the brush
and took up a position in front of the truck where it could see
us. That was all we could take.
We folded up our stove with stakes still in it, threw
everything in the back of the truck and jumped into the cab.
We just sat there shaking for a while.
After some time I pointed to my spotlight and asked my friend
should I? He just shrugged his shoulders,
continued shaking and stared at the floor saying let's get out
of here. Curiosity was out running common
sense and fear at the moment, so I pointed the spotlight in the
general direction of where the creature it was last heard and
turned it on. The creature whirled as the
light hit it and began boulder hopping up through a steep rock
slide on two legs with incredible speed and agility.
I didn't get a good look at his face as it rolled away from the
light, but it was definitely standing erect with a slight
forward slump and was very agile on two feet, not like a waddling
bear standing on its hind legs. It was dark brown to black in
color. Over the years I have come to
grips with this experience, but my friend still refuses to talk
about the incident. While the encounter terrified
me, I now have a desire to see this creature again.
Intuitively, I feel the animal had no real intent to hurt me or
my buddy. If it had wanted to harness it
had plenty of opportunities to do so.
And also notice it says the area was deathly silent except for
the screams, whistles and threshings of the and the brush.
No other animals were stirring. 2 Witnesses Time and conditions
The weather was clear around 9:00 to 10:00 PM.
It was dark with little moonlight.
The area was rugged with rough country for miles in either
direction from the road. The elevation was about 6000
feet with peaks near 9000 feet. The basin had lush grass, dark
timber and a quiet stream. It was likely seldom, if ever,
visited by humans. I revisited the site this past
summer. It was very quiet, but I didn't
have much time to investigate. There is a high probability of
caves, overhanging rocks, old mining tunnels in the area and
then the follow up by Roland. Wolf says the witness was
extremely amazed at how well the animal he saw was able to
boulder hop up the steep slope at no time at all.
Over the years there have been many confirmed Bigfoot sighting
reports from this area of Valley County, Idaho.
The terrains Alpine and rugged with very steep slopes.
There are a number of abandoned shafts and mines within 20 miles
of this sighting location. More recent sighting reports
from this area are still under investigation by this researcher
who has an ongoing Warm weather Bigfoot steady project centered
in the Adams Valley, Custer County area of Idaho.
Really cool. It just goes to show people are
seeing these. They've been seeing them for a
long time and a big shout out and thank you to Bigfoot
Research Organization for posting these things so
everybody can have a look at them.
It's just awesome. Until next time, this is UFO
warning over and out.
