Sasquatch sighting in Alaska (2006)
Account
The guest with his uncle and cousin boated far upriver to prospect for gold and stayed in a tiny plywood shack. After dark they saw three sets of red eyeshine, then a face staring through a small window, prompting shotgun shots through the wall. Through the night they endured screams, shaking of the shack, circling footsteps, a huge light-absorbing silhouette, and pellet-like impacts. At dawn while fleeing to the skiff a basketball-sized rock narrowly missed the guest and he fired a rifle center-mass with no effect before they escaped by boat.
