Around 2012, a man named Oscar returned to his family's traditional native homelands along a remote tributary channel feeding into the Copper River near Chitina. While harvesting fireweed blossoms for an elder auntie a quarter-mile from their rural cabin, Oscar witnessed a large brown form performing a series of strange, vertical bouncing movements through a 6-foot tall grass slough 30 yards out. Armed with a .357 handgun and believing it was a maimed, trapped bear that posed a community safety risk, he returned to camp to recruit his elder uncle, who brought a 12-gauge shotgun.
Following a freshly crushed swath through the tundra grass toward a muddy patch near the timber line, they discovered a linear sequence of massive, single-file humanlike footprint tracks spaced four and a half feet apart with zero claw marks. Recognizing the pattern, the uncle firmly halted the trek, only for an incredibly intense, ear-piercing whistle to explode from the brush directly behind them, causing their ears to ring. As they tactical-sidestepped back toward the trail, a secondary, identical whistle erupted from a single black spruce tree that began violently vibrating while the surrounding canopy stayed dead-still.
Pausing further down the path, they watched a colossal, 11-foot tall, slender orangish-brown humanoid standing between two trees, holding the trunks and shaking them before throwing its head back to issue a wide-jawed whistle. Instantly, an unexpected 6-foot tall juvenile creature executed a frantic, bipedal 'galloping' hop out of the left brush line to join the towering adult, displaying a shockingly wide, out-of-scale lower jaw and large dark eye sockets before both entities quartered away into the mountain slopes.
