Witness tells of hearing and smelling a creature near Wildwood Falls

The witness and a relative were running at night along an old logging road toward the Falls when they noticed a strong musty odor. About 50 feet ahead, they perceived only a large, fast, dark movement that crashed through dense brush toward the Falls and then fell silent. The next day they found a wide smashed path with broken small trees and grooves in the ground. The witness stated the odor was unlike bear and distinct from other animals encountered before.

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
