Episode 2 - Portlock Alaska, Port Chatham Killer Bigfoot

Portlock AK take 2
Portlock is an abandoned town in Port Chatham Bay on the Southern end of the Kenai Peninsula in South central Alaska. It was named after British Royal Navy Captain Nathanial Portlock who landed there in 1787.
The Aleut people had inhabited the area for centuries, and it’s known for its abundant salmon runs and mineral resources including gold, chromium and copper.
A cannery was established around 1900 to take advantage of the fisheries. Also mining operations were established in the area. As well as a US post office which was opened in 1921.
The first recorded reports of strange occurrences started in 1905. It was reported that all of the cannery workers left their jobs due to something mysterious that was “bothering” the camp. The cannery workers returned the next season, but unexplained events were continually reported.
In the 1920s, a man by the name of Albert Petka supposedly scared off a hairy creature with his dogs, but not before receiving a fatal blow to the chest. According to the stories, Petka survived to explain what happened, but died of his wounds soon after. There are also reports of prospectors and hunters going missing frequently to the point that it became commonplace. Their bodies were allegedly found in a creek as if their limbs had been ripped apart. 
In 1931, a logger named Andrew Kamluk was out working when someone or something hit him over the head with a huge piece of logging equipment. Something that was too large for a man to lift. His body was found 10 feet from the piece of equipment, so it made no sense that he could have slipped and hit his own head on it.
One group hunting a moose reported finding giant footprints also stalking the same animal. They arrived at the site of a bloody battle and no moose was found. Only torn branches, blood, and footprints over 18 inches long headed from that spot up into the foggy mountains.
A local man named Tom Larsen went to chop wood for fish traps and saw something large and hairy on the beach. He ran home to get his rifle and when he returned it was still there but now he could see it was standing on two legs and just staring at him. Tom retreated and never explained why he didn’t fire on it.
The local native population referred to the creature as Nantinaq. Which in their Alutiiq language means half man, half beast.
Other villagers spoke of a woman in a long black dress with a pale face who would appear from the cliffs. She would moan and scream, then disappear back into the cliff face.
Bodies that were recovered, having washed down the rivers into the lagoon, had strange wounds no bear could make. The loss of these lives took a toll on the small community and fear set in. People started to leave. With unexplained disappearances and murders, no one felt they could take a chance and continue to live here.
