BWBS Ep:60 Mystery Beasts In Alaska


Listen Later

Welcome to another thrilling episode where we dive into the strange, the unexplained, and the downright terrifying. Tonight, we journey to the untamed wilderness of Alaska—a land of vast tundras, towering mountains, and icy waters—where legendary creatures lurk in the shadows. Our stories come straight from those who have seen the impossible and lived to tell the tale. Strap in as we explore three chilling encounters with Alaska’s mystery beasts—from an eerie roadside meeting with a Dogman, to the looming presence of the Urayuli, and the deep, dark waters where a sea monster may still be hiding.

Story #1: The Dogman of Matanuska Valley Our first story takes place on a lonely Alaskan highway late one October night in 1998. A woman named Melissa H. was driving home through the icy wilderness when she spotted something unusual in her headlights. At first, she thought it was a moose—common enough in these parts—but as she slowed down, she realized this was no ordinary animal. Standing tall on two legs, a wolf-like creature with massive claws and “spiked” fur loomed at the roadside. Its intelligent, glowing eyes locked onto her, and in that brief moment, she knew with absolute certainty—this thing was alive. Not a Halloween prop. Not a bear. Something else. Terrified, she gunned the gas, fishtailing on the ice, but never looking back. Was it a Dogman? A shapeshifter? Or just an exhausted mind playing tricks? Whatever she saw that night, she never forgot it.

Story #2: The Urayuli—Alaska’s Own Bigfoot Deep in the southwest corner of the state, near Lake Iliamna, another legend lurks. Called by many names—Arulataq, Bushman, Nant’ina—but most commonly known as the Urayuli, this towering figure is said to be 7 to 14 feet tall, covered in shaggy hair, and armed with freakishly long arms that nearly reach its ankles. Local stories speak of it stealing livestock, raiding campsites, and even swimming through the icy Alaskan waters. While similar to the classic Sasquatch, its eerie glowing red eyes and its ability to vanish without a trace set it apart. In 1982, a hunting guide snapped a blurry photograph of a massive humanoid silhouette standing atop a ridge near Dillingham. Could it have been the Urayuli, watching the land it has called home for centuries?
Story #3: The Kodiak Island Sea Monster Alaska’s mysteries don’t just walk the land—they also swim beneath its frigid waves. In 1969, a fishing crew scanning the ocean floor off Kodiak Island made a shocking discovery—a sonar reading of a 200-foot-long creature lying at the bottom of the sea. Its shape? Unmistakably dinosaur-like, with a long neck and fins. Then, in the summer of 1971, a group of fishermen reported seeing a grayish, 30-foot-long beast with a horse-like head swimming near their skiff. One crew member fired a rifle at it, but the creature dived beneath their boat and resurfaced on the other side. And in 2002, a fishing vessel in Uganik Bay had a terrifying close encounter when a massive neck and head emerged from the depths, only to disappear moments later. The following summer, something rammed their boat from below with enough force to nearly knock a man overboard. No whales were in the area. Whatever it was, it was big.

Are these encounters proof of ancient creatures, cryptid legends, or something more supernatural? From the shadows of the forests to the icy depths of the sea, Alaska holds mysteries as old as time itself. One thing is certain—when you venture into the wild unknown, you never know what might be watching you.
