Context & caveats Upshur County Clear all
11 September 2009 Buckhannon, Upshur County, West Virginia Class A #27363

Witness describes getting a good look at a bi-pedal creature while driving on a country road in Buckhannon

The witness was driving home alone at night on a narrow wooded road when eyeshine caused her to slow near a curve. Her headlights revealed a brown-haired bipedal creature standing off the road about ten feet away. The creature watched her pass, making eye contact and showing pointed teeth, then turned its head to follow until she left the area. She felt intense fear only after passing.

Odor near Gladewater, Texas

In the same area that same year the witness was on foot after dark without a light, felt hair stand up and as if followed, smelled a strong almost-skunky odor, and hurried out while hunting dogs ran ahead to the house.

The Database of Unexplained Encounters. Claims are recorded as claims: the Anomadex catalogues what people reported, where it was reported, and how sure I am that it was read correctly. It does not rule on what they saw.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
