Sasquatch sighting in Illinois (2016)

The witness was night fishing alone from a boat on a T-shaped strip-mine lake when a growl intensified nearby. A large dark figure stood up behind boats on the bank and faced him, then displayed, charged a short distance, breathed heavily, screamed and left vocalizing. He kept a handgun trained on it, drifted away, and watched it disappear into shadows.

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
