Two years prior to 2022, a couple named Jesse and Monica purchased an uncompleted 10x12 Caribou cabin kit on the outskirts of Fairbanks to insulate and use as a rural starter house. Located a half-mile down a private driveway off the main road, the site was surrounded by dense, un-cleared timber and willow thickets. While setting up a wood stove on a weekend visit during a light autumn snow dusting, the couple began hearing a loud, exceptionally crisp, and snappy 'clicking' noise that occurred at a strict, regular cadence of every two to three seconds. Initially sounding as though it originated inside their Tyvek-lined walls, the clicking persisted continuously for over twenty minutes.
Peeking out their single 4x4 window pane by flashlight, Monica caught sight of a massive dark figure in the yard, causing her to stumble back in panic. Armed with a gun and a flashlight, Jesse investigated the home's low-lying 18-inch wood piling gaps; sweeping his beam near a corner line, his light illuminated a high-altitude eye-shine reflection towering over his head right before the figure ducked out of sight. Rushing inside, the snapping click pattern erupted again directly outside their structure. Monica illuminated the glass to find an imposing silhouette hulking over their card table, which she mistook for a trespasser.
Armed and shouting tracking warnings into the tree line, Jesse advanced within 15 feet of the cut line when his flashlight illuminated a massive hand reach out from the dark, grab a six-inch diameter birch tree, and cleanly snap it in half with effortless force. Fleeing back to their vehicle to retrieve keys, Monica screamed as the giant entity stood directly in the open pointing toward them. Turning on the car's headlights, they caught sight of two separate sets of glowing eyes spaced 15 feet apart before executing a chaotic, suspension-damaging reverse getaway, completely abandoning the construction project permanent due to the event.
