Incident #1001224
Pocatello, Caribou Cty, Idaho
1980
Account
A family living near Blackfoot Reservoir reports finding three sets of prints over a period of several weeks in late June and early July, one 16", wedge-shape, 5 toes, no claws. The others are a 12" print, less wedge shaped, with 4 toes, and 8" similar to the large set. Prints old when found but made when soil in grain field was wet. Stride of 8" prints 64". (A later report in the same paper refers to a reported sighting of a hairy 7-foot creature near a reservoir on the Blackfoot River. Not considered worth a separate entry.)
