HUGE BLACK, UPRIGHT 'HAIRY MAN' Observed by U.S. Army S.F.C. in Fort Wayne, Alaska

"Her mother overheard me and said, ‘Bears are not out now.’ And what I saw was a ‘Hairy Man’ and I asked ‘What's that?’ My girlfriend said, ‘That's our name for a Sasquatch."

“My name is retired Army S.F.C. Jerry Ford. In 1981, in Fort Wayne, Alaska, I was an 18-year-old Private. We were there for extreme cold weather training. We went up to one of the high mountains behind the base, and it took three hours to get to the top. This is in January.

After we put our tent up, we got to walk around the camp area and started hearing what I learned later were whoops and screams, and at about 150 meters, we saw a HUGE black thing walking on the side of this mountain. It had no backpack or clothes on, unless it was a hairy jumpsuit. As a young Private, I thought it was a bear walking and four days later, we returned to Wayne and got two days leave.

I had met a native Alaskan lady. Her mother managed the bar we were in, so I started talking to her about what I saw, and her mother overheard me and said, ‘Bears are not out now.’ And what I saw was a ‘Hairy Man’ and I asked ‘What's that?’ My girlfriend said, ‘That's our name for a Sasquatch.’ I said, ‘Okay, what's that?’ And she gave me a book about it. I don't remember who wrote it, and that was how I learned about them.

Now, fast forward to 2021. Behind my house in Kentucky, around late March and the first two weeks of April, late at night, around 100 hours to 230 hours, there are whoops and loud screams, almost just like what I heard in Alaska, and this has gone on every year since and will happen again soon. Last year in July, I was riding my horse in the woods behind my house. You can ride for hours back there. While riding my horse, my horse started acting skittish and tried to turn around on me. I got off him and tied him to a tree and started walking ahead of us and about 25 feet from where I had the horse at, I found a lot of bones; at least four deer and a coyote, about five rabbits and a couple of turkeys, and soon I started feeling like I needed to leave the area now. So I did. Now that's my story."
