Shares of Sasquatch Encounters in Alaska
Seven years prior to 2025, a couple named Craig and Marcy took their 12-year-old son Daniel to a family cabin located deep in the wilderness beyond the Willow/Big Lake corridor. While clearing their access trail, they encountered two separate pairs of hikers warning of a 'strange man in a fur coat' stalking the perimeter of the muskeg. During the build, they suffered repeated disturbances, including a jingle bell toy being snatched and thrown and heavy thumping on the cabin walls.
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.
Brothers Bruce and David 25 years ago were working on fixing up their Uppa's cabin after he passed. While scouting for a good hunting spot, they came in contact with a hairy man who ended up following them back to the cabin, where it continued to terrorize them.
In 1982, Paul and his son Alec, who was ten years old, were on a hunting and fishing trip when they came across a hairy man. As Paul navigated Alec and himself down the trail back to the cabin, they were followed. Once back at the cabin and inside, they were terrorized all night.
Samuel and his son had an experience together encountering a hairy man on the banks of the river while on a skiff.
