Bigfoot Encounter of 1902: A Chilling Idaho Tale from Sasquatch and Sourdough

The YouTube channel Sasquatch and Sourdough Podcast recently shared a fascinating encounter from their new favorite book, "Skating with Bigfoot" by Renee Deare. The story, titled "1902 Human Monster Yells at Ice Skaters in Idaho," is a highly intriguing report that combines the innocence of children ice skating with a chilling Sasquatch sighting. In 1902, residents in Southeastern Idaho would drive their wagons in cold months to socialize and ice skate on the frozen Portneuf River. One day, a group of young people was enjoying their time on the ice when they noticed an 8-foot-tall creature with long hair among them. The creature, described as a "human monster," began to attack the skaters, causing them to flee in their wagons. Later, a group of armed citizens returned to the spot and saw large tracks in the snow, leading them to believe the creature was from the Sawtooth Mountains. Unfortunately, no follow-up to the story could be found. This captivating encounter, taken from a newspaper account of the past, is a delightful addition to the world of Bigfoot lore. The image of children ice skating and encountering a Sasquatch is both enchanting and slightly eerie, making it a perfect story for the holiday season. "Skating with Bigfoot" is a well-researched book that compiles 150 years of reports of hair-covered, unusually large ape-like monster men in the forest. The book's stories, published in newspapers, serve as record keepers of their time and provide a unique glimpse into the past. I encourage our readers to watch the Sasquatch and Sourdough Podcast video and explore the captivating world of Bigfoot encounters. The story of the "1902 Human Monster Yells at Ice Skaters in Idaho" is a delightful piece of Sasquatch lore that will surely entertain and intrigue Bigfoot believers.
