Paka, an Inupiaq villager from the Noatak River Valley, shares deep oral traditions and personal sightings concerning the Sasquatch and the 'little people' (Inun) of the Arctic. Paka details various classifications of little people, including the 'Inuor'—mischievous, garden-gnome-like beings with red eyes and immense strength known to carry large game, such as caribou, across the tundra.
Sonny Grant, a Tlingit elder of the Wolf Clan from Juneau, shares deep ancestral knowledge regarding the 'Cannibal Giant'—a figure synonymous with the Sasquatch/Hairy Man. Sonny recounts stories passed down through generations in Haines, Cake, and Juneau of these entities capturing and consuming children left out past dark.
In 1984, an avid fisherman named John was driving the McCarthy Road toward a small lake north of McCarthy. While fishing a roadside tributary, John was repeatedly targeted by stones thrown from the dense alder brush—projectiles thrown with such force they shattered against the water's surface. Intrigued and slightly annoyed, John attempted to investigate but encountered only eerie silence.
An interview with Mike who shares an incident from thirty years ago while staying in a cabin before helping search for a missing classmate the next morning (he was never found). The audio in this video is muffled, but it gets better, and the close caption is able to decipher well.
An interview with Sonny Grant from Juneau, who shares two of his encounters.
An interview with John who shared some experiences over his many years in Alaska.
I have a phone interview with William who lived in Alaska for nineteen years. He shares his brief experience from 2013 in Butte, and a recount from his mother-in-law, where a sasquatch was peeking in her window.
Also, a share from Cynthia, who lives in the same area of the Kuskokwim River as the berry pickers from the previous video, shares a brief experience she had ten years ago while picking berries with her grandmother.
An on-site interview with Alaskan native Bill who shared his experience with us.
In an on-site field interview conducted north of Willow along the Deception Creek trail system, a lifelong Alaskan outdoorsman named Ryan walked the channel researcher through a highly strategic, dual-creature stalking encounter. While tracking a game trail leading past a localized swamp clearing at dusk, Ryan's two highly trained dogs—Keen and Brutus—suddenly locked up with their hackles completely raised. A massive unseen presence began heavily pacing and paralleling Ryan's route through a dense thicket of tall willow and alder brush just 20 to 25 yards away.
In an extensive panel interview, a mainland native resident named Mike detailed the profound oral histories and recent close-range encounters on a remote, windswept island in the Bering Sea. Mike's grandfather (born in 1904) maintained historical accounts of a rogue 'hairy man' who systematically abducted and consumed disobedient village children caught out past dark, culminating in a historic campaign where a local shaman tracked and dispatched an entity, slicing open its stomach to recover nine hairless, amnesiac children.
