Bigfoot Story Of The Day

  This is a strange story from Dana Jacalien, then a 40 year old refrigerator mechanic in 1979 living in Kodiak, Alaska. He and his friend had boated to Etolin Island near Wrangell to shoot deer. They had a stand about 7,000 feet up and were going to camp there and shoot down at the deer in the morning. Dana's friend wasn't satisfied with the anchoring of the boat and decided to stay there for the night. Dana went up to the camp and soon was in his sleeping bag. A Bigfoot came up to his sleeping bag, leaned against a limb, and looked down at Dana. Dana says the Hairyman (as Bigfoot is known in Alaska) had a knowing smile. Then Dana heard " a collective consciousness that whispered with a longing voice 'Leave me alone.' The Bigfoot walked off. The next morning, Dana told his partner what had happened and showed him the Bigfoot tracks. They left without shooting any deer. Peter Nickerson
