Seeking a break from the heavy RV tourist traffic, Mike and Christa unloaded their e-bikes for a quiet ride up a steep, rutted ATV trail near Monahan Flats along the Denali Highway. Stopping at a high ridge to admire the westward view, the couple was suddenly struck by an overwhelming, simultaneous sense of dread. As Mike instinctively reached for his borrowed .357 Magnum, he spotted a face peering out of the brush just fifty feet away.
A few years after their harrowing survival at the placer mine, cousins Jacob and Charles took jobs operating skiffs, ferrying caribou hunters along a remote tributary of the Yukon River. While meeting at a secluded floatplane transfer point, Charles pulled his boat to shore only to find Jacob frozen, rifle raised, and signaling for quiet. Peering across a small ravine, they spotted a massive, reddish-brown entity partially obscured in the thick brush.
A routine seasonal job turned into a nightmare for two cousins, Jacob and Charles, working at a small, remote placer mining operation off the Yukon River in the early 1980s. After a series of unexplained acts of sabotage—including massive trees pushed into the trommel—Charles was assigned to stand guard on an elevated scaffolding platform an hour before the nightly shutdown. The shift started ominously when Charles was nearly buried by a sloughing outhouse pit, and the eerie feeling of being watched quickly intensified into a suffocating dread.
