1955 / 03 / S - Tanacross, AK
This sighting occurred in Tanacross, Alaska about 1955. It could a year earlier or a year later. My sister, Celia, age 7, Dorothy, niece, age 7 or 8, & me, Kathleen, 6. We were babysitting Dorothy's siblings next door to my house. About 9:30 p.m., Dorothy's parents were still out. Dorothy instructed her younger brother, Bailey Jr. to lock the door & don't open for anyone. Bailey was about 4 or 5. It was full moon so we could see everything in the village. Moonlight. We stepped out on the porch & Bailey locked the door. Dorothy said, "what is that?" Voice trembling & shaking. We looked & saw a manlike ape standing about 12 - 13 feet high. Off-white hair covered its body except for the face and inside hands. Dorothy told my sister to cover my eyes & mouth because I might start crying. I took a good look before my sister covered my eyes & mouth. The creature was facing towards back of the village. Stood still and its eyes were looking sideways because it heard my whimpering. As I got older, I knew this creature knew that we were youngsters. Aware we were afraid & I was whimpering. I know that it appeared so not to frighten us. It knew we were kids. It stood still for over a minute listening & its eyes looking at us sideways. All of a sudden, it started to walk. Long strides. It swung its long arms. Walked out of sight. All of Dorothy's fathers' dog were barking. Our dogs next door were barking. Looking back at our experience, I knew this creature would not hurt us. It knew were were kids. Eyes and demeanor of it seemed like it didn't want us to be so frighten. It looked to be friendly. I think it changed color of its fur with seasons. My sister, Celia, is deceased & my niece, Dorothy is still alive. We both remember vividly our experience although we were young. We were always told as youngsters, don't go far away in the woods, bogey person will get you. We thought they were telling the truth. I was so afraid that I never mentioned it to anyone. Dorothy didn't tell anyone. My sister did not remember the incident. She laughed & said no such thing existed. That's my crazy imagination. The creature looked like how people described it with their encounters. I know for sure this creature still exists. It is definitely smarter than humans. Intelligent. It was a privilege for me to see this beautiful creature. I know as I got older that it would not hurt humans. Especially children.
