Date: October 07, 2005
Time: 1 - 1:30 AM
Location: Mentasta Area
Conditions: Clear moon light
Temperature: 0 degrees F
NARRATIVE:
It had snowed 6 to 8 inches (and) a friend and myself were warming up by the fire
from spear fishing the creek with a lantern and a spear.
It was a moon light night about 1 to 1:30 am. I looked across the creek at the
snow-capped mountain. I saw a figure come out of creek and head north for the
woods. It turned and head(ed) back down to the creek edge. The bank of the
creek had snow on it so we could see a hundred yards away from us.
It got down on its hands and knees with its back to us, I asked my friend jf she
saw what I was seeing. Her reply was, "Did you see that?" I said, "Yes."
We both agreed it wasn't a bear for it walked upright like a human. It was not a
person for it was not carrying a lantern or a spear. We couldn't see (exactly) what
it was doing, but it looked like it was tearing something up and eating it.
In the moonlight I could see its under coat on its back was lighter colored hair
than on the rest its body. (Rest of body was darker colored.) Its head was cone
shaped and it had long forearms. It got up on its two hind legs and turned toward
us. It took a long look at us. Then it started walking up the creek away from us.
We were frightened for our friends up the creek that were spear fishing. We
asked everybody that came back from up the creek if they had seen the
sasquatch. They all replied that they saw or heard nothing. My other friend that
was spear fishing up the creek said she had lost her fish she had put on the creek
bank. (Implied that the subject may have been eating the missing fish.)
