These shares involve stalking—prolonged following, watching, and pressure over time rather than a single flash sighting.
Common threads are repeated approaches, the sense of being hunted, and trips cut short. Browse these shares for multi-hour or multi-day stalking patterns.
In August 2018, Robert Johnson, a government investigator with experience in high-profile disaster scenarios like Katrina and 9/11, embarked on a solo motorcycle trip from Idaho to Fairbanks. Seeking a rest stop near Denali National Park, he stayed at the White Moose Lodge—a single-story, 20-room complex. During the night, Robert was awakened by rhythmic, forceful thumping emanating from the back wall of his room.
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.
Approximately 20 years ago, a couple named Margaret and Kyle were foraging for wild berries along a remote muskeg slough near the Alphabet Mountains, south of the Denali Highway. While separated by 100 feet to maximize coverage, Margaret heard a deep, guttural grunt; assuming it was her husband, she called out until she caught sight of a massive, dark movement through the alder brush that did not correspond to her husband's location.
John, a long-time trapper, had to cut short his trapping season once he realized what was stealing from his traps. As he decided to hunker down at his remote cabin until his resupply plane came through, he was surrounded by three Sasquatches attempting to intimidate him. They failed and John instead went on offense.
A veteran 92-year-old trapper recounts a terrifying ordeal from the twilight of his trapping career in 1984, northeast of Bethel in the remote Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. Relying on an isolated backup cabin he typically avoided due to eerie sounds in the distance, his trapping season began smoothly—until he discovered his newly set wolverine traps repeatedly sprung and empty, reeking of a potent, musty ammonia odor.
This encounter involved a trio on the Yentna River at the end of caribou hunting season in 2019 while trout fishing.
This encounter happened to Dee, his little sister, and two of his aunts in 2017 outside of Ruby, located in the interior of Alaska off the Yukon River. This is another encounter that demonstrates these creatures are not our friends.
These events occured 1998 in the Wood-Tikchik State Park in a canoe on the Aguluwok River with my friend Brian. This area has a long history of encounters.
I share an encounter I experienced with two other relatives in 2007 on the Nushagak River. I've shared this experience before, but I give some more detail in this video.
I share a terrifying encounter from Jason who was on a hunting trip with his two young sons in the Fall of 2021 South of the Denali Highway.
