This account details an encounter from a husband and wife team, Doug and Marty, who were traveling toward McCarthy along the Copper River Valley's notorious McCarthy Road. After suffering an electrical failure in their RV, they pulled over for roadside repairs. While the husband worked on the vehicle, the wife prepared a meal inside.
During this time, they were warned by a passing family of a 'man screaming' in the area, a warning they initially dismissed as a local eccentric. Later, while recording near a historic 1910-era bridge, the husband was startled by a piercing scream, causing him to drop and lose his iPhone into a deep ravine. The encounter escalated when both witnessed a massive, dark, hulking figure performing a 'squat-stand' maneuver at the edge of the brush.
The entities repeatedly mimicked the sounds of their skiff engine and human voices, creating a confusing, oppressive environment. They eventually fled the area in their vehicle, followed by a terrifying close-encounter where a creature stood in the road before them, forcing an emergency exit.
