While hunting small game, witness gets a glimpse of "the hairy man"

A man hunting small game claimed a tall, fully hairy figure walked across a dirt road near Skilak Lake. The figure paused, looked in his direction appearing surprised, then left swiftly into the woods. The witness watched from a few hundred yards away in daylight, loaded his shotgun because he was unsure of intent, and later chose not to tell authorities for fear of disbelief.

Sasquatch sighting in Alaska

The witness, a longtime salmon fisherman, had anchored for the evening in Southeast Alaska and watched a large grizzly bear on a nearby beach. The bear suddenly froze and fled into brush. A tall hair-covered biped then walked out, stood watching the boat for about 15 seconds, and quickly disappeared into timber.

Sasquatch sighting near Fairbanks, Alaska

The nine-year-old witness took the family dog to the edge of a snowy field by base housing at night. A helicopter with a spotlight moved erratically over the woods, apparently pursuing something. A huge dark being burst from the treeline into deep snow, moved very fast alternating bipedal and quadrupedal motion, then re-entered the woods with the helicopter following.

Footsteps in Alaska

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.

Vocalization in Alaska

While filming a solo survival episode in Alaska, the witness heard a huge vocalization like a silverback gorilla followed by a loud crashing like a freight train moving through the forest. He decided at the time not to mention it on the show because he did not want the encounter to overshadow his survival work.

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.

Cryptid sighting in Alaska

The witness was on a multi-day hunting trip on a mountain ridge above the treeline, using binoculars and a scoped rifle to look for bears. From 80 to 100 yards away the witness observed a large gray short-haired cat-like animal with prominent upright ears crouched on a rock, moving its head like a predator. The animal sensed the witness, moved its ears, then crept backward and disappeared. The witness chose not to shoot because the animal could not be identified.

Sasquatch sighting in Alaska

The guest was on an expedition filming a documentary and scanning with a thermal camera when he saw a cone-headed, wide-shouldered silhouette raising its arms. He handed the camera to another person for confirmation instead of recording, and by the time he recorded the shape had receded to an indistinct blob.
