Tree break in Alaska (1996)

While bike riding with a friend on separate routes, the witness waited where a bike trail met the main road. He heard a tree break in muskeg with stunted pines, then loud whooshing like large wings flapping, which paused and resumed as his friend approached on a bike. He interpreted the sounds as a thunderbird and noted they had no speakers or electricity to explain it.

Tracks/hair found near waterhole

The witness was inspecting a fenced spring used to water cattle when they found very large footprints in mud and pine duff.

They followed the trail uphill until dense undergrowth made them uncomfortable, then returned to a relative's home without seeing the animal.

Second-hand report of creature looking in at woman through window

About two decades ago a woman washing dishes at night saw a large hairy-faced man looking through the window above her sink. Police were called and during the subsequent search an officer saw a tall man-like figure run across a highway. Very large tracks with a long stride were found but dogs could not track anything and the figure vanished into river bottoms. A later visitor examined a cast and said weight distribution argued against a fake shoe.
