Incident #1001186
Moscow, Latah Cty, Idaho
1965
Account
James Darrington said he and another man saw a creature running up a steep bank on its hind legs, but bent at the hips and using its front limbs as a human would. In that position it was about 3.5 feet high. Says it was not a bear, cougar, wolf or wolverine, so presumably it was hair-covered. Location half a mile North of incident 1001185, so presumed to be near Troy, Idaho.
