Sasquatch sighting near McCarthy, Alaska
Account
While walking the same glacier-toe trail daily for back therapy, the witness noticed a large black stump-like shape that should not have been there. As he watched, eyes on the side opened then closed, making it blend back into a stump. He walked toward it after untangling his feet from brush, looked up to find it gone without sound, searched 15-20 minutes with no tracks or disturbance, and saw nothing on the walk home.
