ALASKA FILES GENERAL INFORMATION

As compiled by M.C. Thompson / Sasquatch Tracker.

Reports are categorized by the time they occurred. Some reports do not include a time or date of the occurrence and are simply filed under UNKNOWN DATES.

Other reports are filed by the decade beginning in 1950.

Before each report, you find a file number. The file number is the year the event took place, not when it was reported to Sasquatch Tracker. Following the year is the event number.

After the event number there is a letter designating what type of event took place. Types are:

S: sightings, visual.
T: tracks, tracks found or discovered that are not attributed to known animals.
B: behavior, unique behaviors not attributed to known animals.
V: vocalizations, yells, screams, howls, mimicked noises.
L: legends, folklore surrounding events that cannot be verified.
O: other behavior that doesn't work in the above.

And finally, there will be a location. If exact locations are given by witnesses, they will appear as latitudes and longitudes within the text.

For example: 2023 / 02 / T - Mentasta. AK shows the event took place in 2023 and that it was the second event reported that year. The letter "T" shows there were tracks discovered or observed. And finally, the location is Mentasta, AK.

After the description, the source is identified. A link to the source is provided if there is one.

A great deal of the International Bigfoot Society (IBS) reports are credited to J. Robert Alley. Alley is the author of RainCoast Sasquatch.

Portions of the database are reprinted and sometimes edited for content to meet Sasquatch Tracker standards. Some reports contain copyrighted information. These reports are used under 17 US Code for educational and research purposes only without benefit or financial gain.

The ALASKA FILES are under constant revision as reports are submitted. Some reports are unverified. Some reports are eventually omitted during revision when proven to be hoaxes.
