August 1997 Fairbanks, Fairbanks County, Alaska Class B #1995

Hunter hears footsteps late at night in Goldstream Valley, just north of Fairbanks

In late August 1997 the witness was camped alone without a tent on an aspen hillside after hunting grouse. In the middle of the night something circled the camp at close range, moving bipedally with shuffling steps, breaking branches and making low muttering sounds. After several minutes the witness spoke aloud saying he wanted no trouble, after which the prowler stopped and then trotted downhill away.

September 1964 Fairbanks County, Alaska Class A #1256

Witness observers 6 foot, shaggy, dark brown creature off Richardson Hwy

The witness was rabbit hunting along a dirt road when a very tall, shaggy dark brown figure appeared about 30 feet ahead, stared and grunted, then walked quietly into the woods. The witness did not feel threatened but turned back toward the car while hearing cracking branches and low-to-high tones from where the figure went. Some sounds were answered from the other side of the road, prompting the witness to walk faster.
