Ten years prior to 2022, two brothers, Jim and James, began constructing a remote 5-acre cabin cabin in the interior of Alaska, south of Fairbanks and north of Wasilla. During the building phase, they experienced recurring bear-like encroachments, forcing them to adopt a hyper-vigilant 'two-person always' security protocol. While James was left alone at the cabin to overnight, he began hearing a persistent 'click-click' sound originating from the walls of the windowless log shell. Investigating outside with a flashlight and gun, James caught a glimpse of eye-shine towering 10 to 12 feet off the ground through the window frame opening.
That night, James was subjected to a terrifying, rhythmic thumping cadence—'bam-bam... bam-bam'—that caused the entire cabin structure to violently shudder, forcing him to cower on the floorboards with a rifle. The pounding alternated between opposite sides of the structure for nearly an hour, resembling heavy hammer blows against the logs. The next morning, he made direct face-to-face eye contact with a giant entity looking in through the window frame; the creature featured a rugged, flat-nosed, broad-faced profile with grizzled, beard-like hair, but fled instantly when illuminated.
After his brother Jim returned and James described the event, they opted to leave the building partially unfinished. Two years later, upon returning to perform cosmetic repairs, they found the roofline 'dimpled' or pushed inward as if crushed by massive weight. While re-securing the interior, James experienced a sudden feeling of malevolent surveillance; he caught movement through the broken window, witnessing a massive, dark, 10-foot-tall silhouette swaying back and forth. His panic culminated when a deep, mechanical-sounding growl vibrated the cabin floors, forcing the brothers to finally abandon the project and permanently vacate the property.
