Sighting Text:
* Steve Green of Alaska reports that for the last two years in September, 2 AM-dawn, a creature threw rocks at his cabin on the South Fork of the Koyukuk River, 200 miles from Fairbanks. It growls and thumps with fist on the outhouse in the first week of September, 1999. Sons and a native fellow with them noted that it threw a rock and hit the roof, every 15 minutes, for five nights in a row-there were 50-60 of them. It is a 30 X 30 cabin, and the rock sounded like a shotgun shell. Called the “Bushman,” or Na-In, and Athabraskan name, it left 18 inch tracks with 6 foot strides. Steve says 40-50 other people have seen them, that they were common sights up there for them. Other things mentioned. When there is a full moon it will head to the coast to dig clams. One is said to be interested in fire, walking directly toward a campfire and staring. Another was said to have gone down to a river and splashed water on itself. Steve runs Alaskan Bush Country Adventures, steve@maxinfo.com At Kern River, CA, during the winter 15 years ago one came to a campground where Al Garcia was cooking fresh trout. It came out of nowhere and splashed water and threw ten pebble, one that hit Al in the forehead. Steve saw two creature going in different directions. Steve will be going back this fall, and I asked him to preserve some of the rocks if the incident re-occurred. He will pick the rocks up with an inverted baggie, and perhaps we can get some prints off them?
