Hunter describes powerful wood knocks at a cabin in remote wilderness south of the town of Chicken

Four nocturnal hikers get pelted with snow near Anchorage

The witness and three companions took a late-night winter walk on game and recreational trails in the woods. On the way back they heard footsteps and branches breaking around them and something repeatedly threw snow or hard snow clods at them, while dogs barked nearby and a rank carcass-like odor was noticed. They jogged most of the way out, leaving around 3-3:30 a.m., and the witness believed deep snow ruled out a prank by a person.

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.

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.

The witness camped with the sibling and a friend from the city in a clearing containing moose bones and antlers. After midnight they heard branching breaking and multiple bipedal-sounding runners circling camp in the dark, fired rifles without effect, found the dog terrified in the tent and felt something touch a tent, then saw large shadows in firelight. They packed out carrying the dog while being followed down the trail, with one silent individual flushing very close, until reaching the car.

A family in Alaska has ongoing activity on their property that intensifies when the husband leaves for two-week work shifts. The wife reports things running across the roof, chattering like chimps, tracks everywhere, and a fast blur-like run-past with long hair, plus a game-camera image of a gorilla-like figure with long mop-like head hair. There are said to be three individuals of different colors.

Vocalization in Alaska

While working in the park, the guest hiked to climb a mountain via a narrow valley and detoured to check an old cabin site. He found a large well-trodden trail, a shredded willow break, and a torn-apart rotten stump, which he attributed to snow and bears at the time. On the return in a sunny open spot he heard a loud single-syllable vocal from the woods over the creek and chose to leave for the wide river bar rather than investigate.
