Ceature observed at playground

A group playing noisily on a campground playground at night noticed a strong rotting odor. They saw a tall brown hairy figure standing at the edge of the tree line about 50 feet from the nearest child, watching the activity. After being stared at for a short time, it walked back into the woods.

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
