Historical account near Douds, Iowa (1940)

The host relays an off-record gentleman's account that his grandparents living in the Douds area told of giant-type beings called Yehudies seen around the 1940s. The guest notes his farm is not far from Douds and gets goosebumps.

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
