1960s(?) / 05 / L - Bethel, AK (Area)
Legend of runaway boy named Gabriel Fox who transforms into Sasquatch to survive and later abduction by military or US Government. Delta Discovery, 30JAN2013.
Additional Information: "Here in the Bethel area, many people's introduction to Hairy Man was through the creature we came to know of as "Gabriel Fox" in the 1960s. It's the story of a young boy who ran away from the Children's Home near Kwethluk and survived in the wilderness by turning into a Hairy Man. But big questions remain: How could a boy turn into a hairy creature that lived in the extreme wild? Was it really Gabriel Fox, and not a young Bigfoot that was starving and raiding fish camps for food when it was caught? Why did the military and/or the US government say nothing about him after they took him away? And most importantly, why didn't they return him home? ..." http://www.adn.com/alaska-beat/article/bethel-newspaper-rounding-y-k-tales-hairy-man-aka-bigfoot/2013/02/04/ Online (Accessed 04 JAN 2018)

A father and teen son had been fishing together along the Herbert River Trail, working their way towards the trail head. The 14 year old teen approaches the trail through some brush and turns to look where he had come from and sees someone walking across the river bar. He believed it was his father and waited. 20 minutes later, the father arrives and the son asked if he had been on the bar. The father replied "no" and that he had been walking along the river bank close to alders. The father said it must have been a bear that the teen had seen. Teen explained he had seen something that walked bipedal with arms swinging. When they eventually reached the trail head, there were no other vehicles ruling out the possibility of the subject being a person. D.
