| TIME: 12:30 PM Local NARRATIVE (edited for content): “We were out boating, me, my sons. It was four days before river, to go see the boys who were rescued the night before. (Witness’ sons had be involved in a rescue effort to recover a family of eight that was stranded along the river after their boat ran aground.) After the all-night rescue, my boys and I were heading back to the cabin where they were dropped off. On our way, we saw three big black creatures standing by Ruth Hill. These were big black giant figures standing by the big hill, moving around, walking around for about an hour, watching us move with our boat. The three were standing, walking about the same area, by the hill, looks like they were using this hill for shelter. …They were hanging around the same area. These three watched us for about an hour, before we reached the cabin. Six hours later, after we spent the afternoon with the boys at cabin, on our way back to our cabin on the Meade River, the three creatures were gone. I think they went inside the big hill. I exactly know where this hill is at. As we were passing the hill and the three big creatures, I kept asking my (names deleted) and (name deleted), ‘Do you see what I'm seeing?’ I waved at them, as I stood on the boat seat. They just stared at us, doing nothing but walking in circles like. … We got home four days later, to celebrate my husband’s birthday. I didn’t think of this being anything, till 2012. That’s when it finally dawned on me, we saw three big black creatures. I took pictures, the pictures turned out blurry. They were about a mile away from the edge of the river.” INVESTIGATIVE NOTES: The witness contacted Sasquatch Tracker via email. The Meade River area of Alaska is a wetlands area with tens of thousands of small lakes and ponds. Coincidently, this is the second report from the Meade River area. Both sightings happened during September. |

| saw. He said that's not a lil' tuttu, that's a bull caribou... Then he shouts out, 'Holy cow, that's a real big man'. It was on two feet, his long gray arm was sweeping as the zig-zagging tuttu was eluding . This tuttu turned aside and jumped 40 ft into the air and jump(ed) into a lake and furry arm swinging as he walked upright. This was a 9 foot to 10 foot giant walking back to a top hill. There J. saw another man, tall and all fur, summon the first one back. With no luck the man walked westerly. His arms swinging. I ask(ed) J., 'What's he doing?'. He says his arms swing like that Bigfoot Beast. In one minute, I saw no caribou." (Witness goes on to describe damage at the cabin; meat rack taken down by wind or a bear and scattered caribou legs and geese feathers.) "... I was puzzled some meat eater left them as I looked at those legs (tuttus). I started tripping and I look down . What made these holes was a footprint, two circles on each side and in the center was claws, 2 sets pointed downward. I cannot forget them claws. The imprint weight was maybe 1200 lbs., a bear about 600 lbs make a track imprint 3 inches on a track. This imprint I saw was about deep as a salad bowl about 6 inches into a solid frozen beach. And it's still there. On my finding, I meant not to tell E. (name deleted for privacy) and J. about the rack's destroyer. I just assumed another bear to hunt down. On Tuesday I was wrong and what we saw made this puzzle to answer our question. The few things I saw was a(n) old caribou head, the jaw on a (the) bottom was gone and it had been licked often. Near what was an opening shrub, were feather(s) and like a circle it or something sat there and ate these caribou. Fresh? Yes about 1 or 2 day old track. Fresh broken rack. All this told me it was not a bear. The next day was Wednesday. We took our boat towards that area and saw nothing. (Witness tells about number of caribou in the area and how they returned with no meat.) "... No I want to go back , not to get it, but maybe feed him. I believe these two came to bury their dead. They gracefully walked to the next hill westward toward Barrow, Alaska. The end." INVESTIGATIVE NOTES: This report was forwarded to Sasquatch Tracker by Sasquatch Tracker associate Robert Alley. Included were hand drawn maps of the area showing the locations of the sightings, location of cabin and the destroyed meat rack. Also included was a drawing of layout of where the impressions were discovered with the claw marks. The witness also made a silhouette drawing of the subject and gave the overall height as 9-10 feet. Shoulder width was estimated to be 3 feet 7 inches to 3 feet 8 inches wide. Arm length (shoulder to end of hand) was estimated to be 3 feet 8 inches to 3 feet 10 inches. Witness said the measurements are off, but that the arms (hands) were close to the knee. Subject said it was black in color and as it got closer, it turned to a darkish brown with black patches. There was almost no neck but it had an upright head. |

| tracks. At first I was confused because this was unlike any bear track I had ever seen before. bait station to check if it had been hit on. The bait station was just as we had left it a few days prior, so we just added the additional bait we were carrying and turned around to make our way track. (Investigator's note: the section of trail in the vicinity of the track is sloped at approximately 35 degrees.) This track was larger than the first one we found. We started getting excited and continued to search the area. We found another track about a yard away. This track was the same size. Both tracks were going the same way so we figured that they were impromptu tracking stick from a tree branch and marked the distance from toe to toe of the tracks and used the stick to try to locate other tracks. I didn't have any luck so my sons and I decided to try to walk the same direction that the tracks were pointing to see if we could pick up the trail further on. We walked back into the trees for about 15 yards or so and found nothing. We hadn't gone too far into the trees, but the way the trees were growing there prevented us from going any further if that makes any sense? Anyway, on the way back, my oldest son found another track. This track was in some dirt from an ant hill. He called me over and I took a look. It was the same size as the two other larger tracks we had found minutes before. It was hard to figure out which way the track was heading and we did look for some other tracks near the ant hill but didn't find any." INVESTIGATIVE SUMMARY: The small, single track discovered on the trail was 4 inches wide by 10 inches long. The depth of the impression at the time of the investigation was 1/4 of an inch uniformly. The track showed four and possibly five toes of the left foot. The track had depreciated enough that what would have been assumed as little toes could not be positively that the subject was traveling in a northeastern direction. No other tracks were found that were associated with the smaller track. The first of the larger tracks was found among a patch of low bush cranberry. The second track was found 36 inches away as was reported by the witness. Both tracks were 6 inches wide and 15 and 1/4 inches in length. Depth of impression at the time of the investigation was 3/4 of an inch on average. The lack of depth was attributed to the low bush cranberry. The track discovered on the ant hill was of the same dimensions as the first two. However, the track on the ant hill had depreciated to the point where the toes could not be determined and thus the direction of travel is unknown. In conclusion, the smaller track was obviously made by a different subject than the one(s) who made larger set of tracks. Based upon this, and the track on the ant hill, it is evident that two separate subjects with the possibility of a third had traveled through the area. The surrounding area is filled with black spruce, willow, alder and birch. Ground covering consists of low bush cranberry and well established sphagnum moss. |

| the night. We were planning on an early start through the Yukon toward Haines and the early storms in the Yukon/BC mountains.’ We got going at 6:00 AM the next day, and by evening we had passed through Haines Junction, Yukon as a snow-storm hit us. We slowed to about no other traffic all night going either way, and had to try digging out. It was dark, but we kept the car running and by the headlights and occasional moonlight we would dig out, move a few yards uphill, then slide off again. This happened over and over for hours. It was sometime around 2:00 AM when Witness #2 called out and I noticed a dark manlike The bluff was a 20 foot cliff facing the highway with the round height of land just behind it. The but we could see it clearly enough to know it was not a bear. It just stood watching us, standing in the snow about twenty feet above us, not moving or making any noise. I have no idea how long it had machete that we kept as a tool in the car ran to the edge of the road and started waving it and screaming at the creature, trying to scare it off. After watching Witness #2’s actions for only a few seconds, it turned to its right and I watched it walk away in the snow along the top of the bluff for about fifty feet before disappearing over the flat summit. We talked about what it could have been for a minute or two, then we got back to work digging. The snow was not coming down right at the time and we were making headway when, about five minutes later, another figure appeared, much taller than the first. I would estimate the second creature to have been about nine feet tall and heavily built, with shoulders that looked three to three and a half feet wide. It was dark-colored like the first and there was a breeze that was blowing its hair on the arms… the hair looked to be about eight to ten inches long where I could see it blowing to the side. The creature was facing directly towards us and was bobbing up and down, in a way that, to me, looked menacing, kind of like going from a crouch with hands close to the bent knees, then straightening up and down again. At no time did I see either of the creatures go down on all fours, and at this point I could see the whole body of the big one right down to where the snow came to just below its knees. I would best describe it as like a football linebacker bobbing up and down before blitzing. I got a distinctly uneasy feeling, and before I knew it, Witness #2 was going for the machete again and was starting in on his “scare-it-off” thing. I took one more look at the creature and called to Witness #2: “Get in the car, now!” He looked at me a moment and then got right into the car and we locked the doors. He was still holding the machete. I looked over and the big one was still looking at us, crouching and bobbing up on the bluff. Witness #2 was extremely upset and was talking about having to defend ourselves. I just said to him, “Look, there’s no point in getting all worked up the way things are. We might just as well sit tight and try to relax. If that thing wanted to, it could easily just walk down here and rip the roof right of the car. Let’s just settle down, don’t even look at it, and maybe it’ll calm down and go away.” “I reassured him as best I could and hunkered down behind the wheel. Witness #2 was curled up in the back. I remember saying a prayer for us. I did look back out once briefly about five or ten minutes later, I’m not exactly sure how many minutes, but I do remember “After what must have been at least an hour in the car, we got back out and didn’t hear or see anything. We had been digging for only a few minutes when lights came up the highway behind us, slowed and, just like us, slid off to the right. It was a small red truck, two-wheel drive, driven by a little older woman with white hair. We were just getting her unstuck when a through to the Haines, Alaska side. He seemed to know the lady, because he said, “(Driver’s name of other vehicle), you know you shouldn’t be out here in weather like this...” We saw her get up over the top of the highway and off down the other side, and the plow driver used his blade to clear away all the snow on the stuck side and got us out too.” “We made it down to Haines safely about forty-five minutes later, in time for a breakfast at a cafe` and the early ferry. I had told Witness #2 we didn’t want to be slowed down by talking about any of the events; I just wanted to eat without any delays and make the ferry. But one thing did happen that gave me a bit of the chills. In a corner of the café, about three booths away there was a group of older men having coffee and talking. I could hear their conversation and I heard them mentioning Sasquatches. One of them commented to the effect, “yeah, they’re around… a couple was just talking about seeing some of those critters up on top recently…” (Investigator’s Note: The term “on top” possibly refers to being on or near the summit of the Haines Highway.) “We made it home on the ferry safely, and that is my experience. Witness #2 has moved away and we don’t keep in touch. Going over the sighting, I did not make out really clear details of the faces but will say that these were not bears of any kind. The legs, arms and hair on both were too long, there were no ears sticking up on the top of the head, and they were wide–shouldered with the heads set low on the shoulders. The total time I watched the first smaller creature was approximately thirty seconds. The larger creature stayed in view for about ten minutes. The details of the creatures as I remember them are accurate to the best of my ability, although the estimates of distances might be a few yards off, and the heights may vary by a few inches.” INVESTIGATIVE SUMMARY: This report is courtesy of J. Robert Alley, Sasquatch Tracker Associate, Southeast Alaska Region. The two men involved had purchased a new vehicle in Anchorage, AK and had visited Witness #1’s father in Willow, AK before departing for the Alaska Marine Highway ferry at Haines, AK at 0600 on October 29, 2008. Once aboard the ferry, they would make their way back to their homes in Ketchikan, AK. For those unfamiliar with the road system in Alaska, driving from the interior region of Alaska to the southeastern region of Alaska involves driving partially through the Yukon Territory and the northern part of British Columbia, reentering the United States and then heading south via the ferry from Haines, AK. Witness #1 did not specify if the second Sasquatch appeared in the same place as the first one. Witness #1 made a reference to the BC mountains meaning he and the other witness had already driven the portion of the highway that passes through the Yukon and were in the northern section of British Columbia within a few miles of the United States – Canada International Border which is approximately 40 miles north of Haines, AK. After recounting the encounter with Alley, Witness #1added, “Although neither of the creatures made any sounds that I could hear and we didn’t go looking for tracks, I would say, having seen various TV documentaries on Sasquatches, that on October 30, 2008 I definitely observed two Sasquatches beside the Haines Highway near the summit west of the highway north of Haines, Alaska and south of the Yukon.” Witness #1 has a signed affidavit testifying to the details of his encounter on file with Alley in Ketchikan, AK. |
| FILE 10-01, Possible Sighting While on Denali Park Bus Tour |
| NARRATIVE: …”When we were winding down a particular turn, I thought I saw something make out what it was. To me it looked like a hiker wearing all black from head to toe. This wasn't really feasible since hiking was prohibited on this stretch of the park, so I figured I was just seeing it wrong and that it might actually be a moose. We were heading lower toward where it was, so I waited before calling it out to the (bus) driver. Once we got down lower, I caught a second glimpse of it. The depth perception is hard to determine in the vast scenery, but I did realize that whatever it was, it was much, much larger than a person. At this point it looked to be covered in thick black fur and it was moving away from us over a ridge. I yelled out to the (bus) driver that I had a spotting, but as I was explaining where to look, the thing disappeared over the ridge. One other person said they thought they saw something as well, but I did feel kind (of) dumb at calling out something that nobody else really got a look at." INVESTIGATIVE SUMMARY: The narrative has been edited for length. The witness contacted Sasquatch Tracker via email on 05AUG11. The witness stated that his/her vision had been corrected via laser eye surgery and is 20/20. The witness was prompted to report the sighting after watching a television program with a friend that featured Sasquatch. The witness expressed that after hearing physical descriptions of Sasquatch on the television program, that the descriptions given matched the physical descriptions of the possible Sasquatch witnessed during the bus tour. The witness also mentioned that several of the reports posted to www.sasquatchtracker.com further supported the claim. The witness further stated that he/she had …”always pictured Sasquatch as the brown haired "Harry and the Hendersons" image that is popularly depicted. It definitely made me think back on what I saw in Alaska. Now I'm not typically the type of person to believe in sightings of what I consider urban myths - I don't believe in UFOs, ghosts, aliens, or the Loch Ness monster. Sasquatch used to be on that list too. However, upon seeing that program and reading your website, I feel a little more inclined to believe there's some credibility to this. I know it's nothing concrete, just a glimpse of something unusual from a distance. However, the similarities with what I saw and what other people claimed to see is too remarkable to be mere coincidence.” |
