Camper reports knocks and camp intrusion at Whitetail Campground in Farragut State Park near Athol witnessed in Kootenai County, Idaho

Open Map

I used to regularly camp in the Whitetail Campground in Farragut State Park near Athol, Idaho. It is especially peaceful during the offseason and I used to like to camp there on weekends from about early May to mid-June. During these times it is dead quiet at night and I heard wood knocks several times (sound really carries due to the large lake surrounded by mountains and hills). At the time I thought it was interesting, but made no connection to Sasquatch. After reading reports on this site I now think the sounds are more interesting. Late one night my wife and I were asleep in our large family tent in Whitetail Campground. It was dead quiet in the campground and we both woke to the sound of a large animal walking through the brush, loudly breaking branches as it stepped on them. We both thought it sounded like it was bipedal and I thought it was a very large man. I wondered why someone would be wandering around in the woods in the middle of the night. The footsteps got closer...
