Context & caveats Odor Pennsylvania Clear all
January 1979 Patton, Cambria County, Pennsylvania Class A #2452

While walking home alone at night, man encounters a large, hairy, human-like creature.

Late at night the witness walked down a snowy farm lane and saw a large dark hairy figure standing by a pond about 80 to 100 yards away, feeling that it was watching them. The witness ran down the lane while loud crashing noises from the woods kept pace, then continued to a relative's house and collapsed inside without reporting what happened at the time.

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
