Incident #1001278
Fairbanks, Yukon-Koyukuk Cty, Alaska
May 1976
Account
Informant prospecting in the Circle Mining District about 100 miles North of Fairbanks. In an area known as Ptarmigan Creek he came across a lot of giant footprints, most quite weathered but one set fresh. Length 27 inches, long, narrow foot with three toes, one angled out slightly. Not at all like normal sasquatch tracks but very similar to some found in the Big Rock Creek area North of Los Angeles in Southern California. Photos show a hat beside the tracks, which were measured by hand and knuckle lengths.
