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.

Sasquatch sighting in Alaska (2006)

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.

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.
