In the July 31st, 2013 issue of the Delta Discovery, we published a story about a Hairy Man sighting that took place in April of this year in the village of Napakiak. The story this week is about the same Hairy Man, but from the perspective of two children who witnessed the creature. It was late April 2013, and two brothers age 16 and 12 were outside in their village of Napakiak. They could see the bluff on the other side of Napakiak Slough and it was there that they saw the creature. It was very large, approximately 9 feet in height and black coloured, said the 16 year old. “It was taller than a human and very black, just standing in the open,” he said.

He and Frank talk, said Donald (who didn’t want his last name or the name of his village used) and Frank gets sombre and quiet. It’s at those times they remember. They remember the night more than 25 years ago, and the creature that stood a good four feet above their teenage frames in the early winter moonlight. They remember the long arms, the body covered in thick hair, the face with features that were somehow human, somehow not. They remember its strength. “I remember watching when he was running through the alders in the moonlight,” Donald recalled. “And we have a lot of alders here. He was sweeping them aside and running at the same time.”

I was a married man in 1969 with two strapping sons. Lonny was almost eleven years old, Seth had twelve years on him. It was cold and rainy that day and we were returning from a family get together over the holidays. My wife and I were in the pickup and the boys rode in the back, in the bed of the truck under tarps and in their sleeping bags, we left Ida about 8 or 9 at night and headed north on hwy 71 to Texarkana where we farm, The road isn't that wide, I suddenly see this thing a ways off in the distance in the high beams of the truck but I didn't know what I was seeing. The closer we got, I started thinking "strange" and knocked on the window to the back of the truck to get the attention of my boys. My wife was asleep, but she woke up the more noise I made and sat up. T...
