Sasquatch sighting in Alaska (2006)

In September 2006 the guest went with two relatives by skiff upriver to prospect for gold and stayed in a tiny plywood shack. After dark they saw red eyeshine of three creatures, then a face at the window that incapacitated one man and left the guest shooting through the wall amid pressure, screaming and shaking. Through the night a huge dark figure absorbed spotlight, others ran around sniffing, hail-like pelting hit the wall, and at dawn a basketball-sized rock narrowly missed the guest before he fired a rifle without effect and they escaped by skiff under rock throws.
