Podcast host Fred recounts a recent attempt to reach the Knik Glacier via canoe, a trip ultimately thwarted by high winds on the marshlands. Pivoting from his own weather-delayed expedition, he shares a gripping account from ten years prior involving two moose hunters who ventured deep into the same remote valley near Meadow Creek and Friday Creek.
After navigating a treacherous four-wheeler route and hiking along the glacier's edge, the two hunters set up their camp in the backcountry. Their hunt was quickly interrupted when they spotted the massive upper half of a "hairy man" looming on a rock slide above their position. The dark figure continuously swayed back and forth, ducking behind the rocks and peering down at the bewildered men.
After observing the creature for several minutes, the hunters were suddenly struck by a primal, overwhelming sense of dread. Abandoning their plans, they hastily folded up their tent—with all their gear still inside—and immediately evacuated the valley, joining the long list of individuals driven away by the area's unexplained phenomena.
