November 2002 Ferdinand, Dubois County, Indiana EP 978

Sasquatch sighting near Ferdinand, Indiana (2002)

The witness spent a night alone in a familiar forest to think through personal troubles. After a sheriff left, loud crashing came down a hill and something stopped behind a tree about twenty feet away, breathing loudly while two dogs stared transfixed. The witness retrieved a handgun from a car, threatened the presence, rescued the dog, drove to safety, then returned with headlights to see a large black hairy arm gripping the tree before leaving.

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
