Geographical Index > United States > Alaska > Prince of Wales County > Report # 2917 Report # 2917 (Class A) Submitted by witness on Saturday, July 28, 2001. Family observes large biped from car (Show Printer-friendly Version) YEAR: 1995 SEASON: Spring STATE: Alaska COUNTY: Prince of Wales County LOCATION DETAILS: Between the sort yard and the garbage dump, on Saltery Road. NEAREST TOWN: Hydaburg NEAREST ROAD: Saltery Road OBSERVED: I was going for a drive. I had 3 kids with me, my daughters and one of their cousins. It was starting to get dark. I decided I wanted to turn around and not go all the way down to the sort yard. So I pulled into a turnaround. I had the car lights on. Just in the bushes on the other side of the road, I noticed some movement. I thought it might have been a deer, so I stopped the car. The first thing I really saw was really bright blue eyes. Then I noticed how far up they were, the thing had to be about 8-9 feet tall. The rest of the thing was real dark, might have been black or dark brown. My daughter saw the feet....they were huge. When I realized it might be a bigfoot, I freaked out and tore out of there. I've never been down there after dark again. I rarely go there at all. It didn't move after the initial movement we saw, it just stood there looking at us. OTHER WITNESSES: There were 3 of us who saw it. My oldest daughter was 12, and her 11 year old cousin. OTHER STORIES: There are local legends about a wild man in the woods. TIME AND CONDITIONS: It was starting to get dark, we needed the lights because of the trees on both sides of the road. I think it was about 5-6 in the afternoon. ENVIRONMENT: Beach on the right side, with brush. A small mountain on the left, pine forest. Follow-up investigation report by BFRO Investigator Dr. Wolf H.
