Do we have any other reports of Sasquatch attacking cabins or throwing rocks on roofs? I believe we do. Now, old timers would inflate a good story. Four point bucks became eight point bucks, 20 inch trout became Moby Dick, it’s par for the course. But I do not see any reason to doubt the basic premise of the story. At least it’s as good as any other Bigfoot story. Bigfoot didn’t fly, shoot flames out it’s rear end or shape shift into Aunt Gladys.....

ADFG had satellite tracking collars on over a dozen coastal brown bears in the Anchorage area during a study of "urban bears" around 2000-2005. The biologists got several unexpected surprises. The fact that all of these bears came into the urban areas of Anchorage during the salmon runs in the several creeks that ran through town and stayed the whole time was one of them. The bears were masters at hiding from people. They would lay down in the brush just a few yards from the paved hiking trails running through the greenbelts of town along the streams while hundreds and hundreds of people and children walked and rode bicycles right by them, never knowing that 500-800 lb. bears were laying nearby. At night the bears would fish the creeks and sometimes wander around neighborhoods eating garbage and pet food. Another surprise was how few phone calls they would get from homeowners after garbage can raids, likely because the homeowners expected trouble from the department regarding garbage.

That's not a Jeep. Jeep = 2 door, soft top, manual transmission

Truly, this area is very rich in wildlife, I just found a fresh grizzly trackway with several wolves in pursuit in one of the areas I visited last week. We managed to see several spruce grouse, a snowshoe hare, loads of deer and a moose and her calf in the span of about 3 hours. I will post the photos of the trackway in the near future.

^ Actually, the various Native American definitions of shapeshifting has nothing to do with crude, ignorant, sideways jabs at folklore. It's a lot to read but some of the clips posted in this thread add a lot to BF discussion. Though, I guess it's a lot to ask from people only interested in details that fit a narrow box of what are able to interpret.

To each their own but I don't know why people put effort into stuff like this from so long ago. To the point above, it'll never be proven. And even if it was, who cares? Something existed in the 40s...doesn't do anything for us now.
