Seventy years ago, a murderous Bigfoot-like creature sent residents fleeing from Portlock, Alaska. Now, an expedition returns to the abandoned fishing village to reclaim the land and its resources from the terrifying beast locals call Nantinaq. The team's 40-day sojourn in the icy Alaskan wilderness tests their mettle, their faith and their ability to survive. After bidding their loved one farewell and receiving a blessing from a priest, the team arrives in Portlock by boat. The men immediately feel a sense of foreboding, and Kyle, a Bigfoot skeptic, feels like he's being watched by something he can't explain. The first few days leave the team members distinctly unsettled as they discover evidence of Nantinaq's hunting habits. Keith and Ash visit an historian, who fills them in on the town's bloody past, while the creatures leave a stern warning. On Tuesday, December 7, 2021, discovery+ released the first two episodes of ALASKAN KILLER BIGFOOT, with a new episode debuting each Tuesday.

bigfoots are time travelers. you will never get definitive proof of them because they simply will warp back in time to remove any physical or solid evidence. you try to film then you get nothing of a very blurry picture or they use a dude in a ghilli suit to walk around like a fake bigfoot to screw with you.
if there is a killer bigfoot (or multiples) you are gonna be fucked if you actually mess with it. there is no defense against something that can warp in and out of time and call in reinforcements at will. they are responsible for all types of things. they stole kennedys brain. |

I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that Bigfoot had been real. Gorrillas were not discovered till 1901. Let's face it if there was a North America gorillas there odds of not being all shot would not be good.

“Sense of foreboding…”
Probably from: 1) alien anal probes 2) ghosts 3) fuckin’ Voodoo magick, mon! 4) hystrionics / male dysmenorrhea 5) evil reptilian shape-shifting overlords monitoring the area, see #1 Or, maybe it’s a typo & “cents of foreboding” for ratings? Not that desperate for “entertainment.” |

There's nothing that hasn't been seen, fucked or run off/over by drunks or tweekers on the Kenai. The only secrets there are undergound cannabis grows and incest.
If they were cereal about looking for Bigfoot in AK they'd start in McCarthy and head into the mountains.

Quote HistoryQuoted: It was probably bear that killed those people. Portlock began its existence sometime after the turn of the century, as a cannery town. In 1921 a post office was established there, and for a time the residents, mostly natives of Russian-Aleut extraction, lived in peace with their picturesque mountain-and-sea setting. Then, sometime in the beginning years of World War II, rumors began to seep along the Kenai Peninsula that things were not right in Portlock. Men from the cannery town would go up into the hills to hunt the Dall sheep and bear, and never return. Worse yet, the stories ran, sometimes their mutilated bodies would be swept down in to the lagoon, torn and dismembered in a way that bears could not, or would not, do. Tales were told of villagers tracking moose over soft ground. They would find giant, man-like tracks over 18 inches in length closing upon those of the moose, the signs of a short struggle where the grass had been matted down, then only the deep tracks of the manlike animal departing toward the high, fog-shrouded mountains with their deep valleys and hidden glaciers. |

I really wish these people would divert their attention away from looking for Bigfoot and redirect their efforts into finding the Abominable Snowman.
As global warming continues to warm the planet there will be less snow capped mountains and they should be easier to spot, kind of like a snowshoe hair when there is no snow. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yup - everyone on that team is going to have an encounter of some type. An area with history is part of my checklist for a successful expedition. It has a real weird history of events . Many dismiss the tales that have come out of Portlock due to the aggressive nature of the sasquatch – for that is surely what the nantiinaq is, if it is real at all – allegedly involved. While it is true that most wood ape/sasquatch encounters end peacefully enough, that is not always the case. The Alaskan version of the species, if reports are to be believed, seems to be especially cantankerous, murderous even. In 1900, a group of hair-covered creatures ran at a prospector who had climbed a tree in an attempt to get his bearings near Thomas Bay. The prospector said they were, “the most hideous creatures. I couldn’t call them anything but devils…” The prospector, upon seeing the creatures advancing on him, was able to drop down out of the tree, get to his canoe and make his escape in the nick of time. He had no doubt in his mind that, had he not seen the creatures in time, they would have made short work of him. In 1920, one Albert Petka, who lived on his boat near Nulato, Alaska was attacked by a “bushman” (another regional name for a sasquatch-like creature). His dogs were able to eventually drive off the attacker but the damage was done and Petka’s injuries proved fatal. He was able to tell the story of his attack before dying. In 1943, during the height of the siege of Portlock, a violent attack took place at Dewilde’s camp near Ruby, Alaska. The victim, John Mire (some reports say McQuire), or “The Dutchman” as he was called by the local Native Americans, was killed by an assailant thought to be “the bushman.” He was badly beaten but his dogs eventually were able to run the killer off. Mire was able to get to his boat and travel to the nearest village to seek help but, unfortunately, he died of internal injuries shortly after arriving. He was, however, able to relate his story before passing. |

Something about a half native woman who wanted to scare people away from the area. The natives do believe in some sort of big foot, but the stories about all the deaths came from her imagination. I'll try to find it. |

Lots of stories about homesteaders in Alaska having encounters with "the big hairy man".
I read one book a lady wrote about her life homesteading with her husband and raising a family out in the wilds. They saw the hairy creature a few times, enough for her to make sketches of it. She showed the drawings to some other homesteaders, and they all confirmed seeing the same thing. |
