TIME: 2 AM
LOCATION: Custer
County, Idaho
TERRAIN: Mountains
OBSERVED:
loud scram/growl/roar not human, not animals know to Idaho
forests. the creature was lurking around our camp that
evening while we sat by the campfire. but we just thought it
was deer or elk. we went to sleep in our camper for a few
hours & when I got up to visit a tree (pee), that is
when I heard it. the creature made it known that it did not
want us there, it was a terrifying roar scram growl all
wrapped up into one vocalization. it sounded pissed off. It
scared me so bad my body was stiff, I locked the camper
door, took my 44 revolver out of the holster & just lay
on the bed the rest of the night listening, but never heard
another sound. We packed up camp & were far away before
I even mentioned the encounter to my husband whom snored
through it all.
Additional Things:
our
3 dogs were woofing & growling as they watched the trees
near the spring next to our camp, we thought nothing of
it...until later.
Activities of Witness:
camping in Copper Basin, we
enjoyed the campfire until around 10:30 then went into our
camper to sleep. got up to pee around 2 AM & heard it.
Description of Creature: what
ever this was screamed louder than any human ever could, I
have heard every animal native to Idaho, it was nothing that
is known to live here.
