[admin]

Reported by: Confidential
Report Received From: The GCBRO Online Report Submission Page.


DATE: September 29, 2004


TIME: Around noon


LOCATION: Yukon Territory, Canada


TERRAIN: Wooded


OBSERVED: ok, i feel funny telling this but i have to tell someone

i slept the night before alongside the road just before you go south on the XXXX, i take this route alot cause its pretty and its a shortcut even though its unpaved

so i went a couple hundred miles, not sure how many but more than halfway down the XXXX, don't forget they use kilometers there
so not sure of the milepost

so im about halfway down and stopped to go to the bathroom, trucks usually run during the night and there is light day traffic so
its ok to get out and pee in the woods

along the XXXX you see alot of wildlife, and while i was peeing i smelled something, i went into the woods to see what animal was killed just to see the animal as it could be a bear or a wolf, moose, etc.

i got about 100 yards in and heard something ahead of me, it was clear and nice but the area is wooded, i started looking cause if
it was a bear and a fresh kill i was gonna run

well, i started backing up and looked to the north and saw this thing stand up on the edge of a clearing, i have worked in alaska for years and know a griz, black, even a kodiak bear, and it wasn't any of the above, it stood up and looked at me, then started to walk towards me, it started coming fast so i ran, keep in mind it came at me on 2 legs and it was about 50 yards or so from me when i saw
it last, i ran back to my vehicle and jumped in and locked the doors as i pulled away, nothing came out of the woods cause i looked
in the rear view mirror to make sure

i know bears, and there are alot of stories up this way, i never believed it, but i do now, there are some unsolved kills up this way which alot could be griz, but now i wonder, the thing came at me on 2 legs, and it was coming at me, i guess i disturbed the kill cause it was fresh gauging by the smell, ok so now im a believer and i had to tell someone and i hope you believe me cause i didn't know who else to tell



Activities of Witness: got out of vehicle to relieve themself and followed the smell of a dead animal that was never found.


Description of Creature: im 6-1 and it looked bigger than me for sure, man, it looked like a man, i mean with a head upright and walking with a gait like a person, bears can walk a little but this thing walked with purpose and not with difficulty, its arms swung while it walked you know,
i only saw it for a little bit as i was scared as hell, not sure how long but it wasn't a bear

Other Notes: just saw the thing come at me on 2 legs, didn't see the dead animal


Additional Notes and or Follow up Comments: Upon contact the witness had no further information to add to this report.
