Paranormal encounter (2025)

A team archaeologist sitting in an RV facing the cemetery shouted that something moved across it. He described a large dark mass with no discernible edges moving right to left. His smartwatch biosensor showed his heart rate roughly doubling at that moment.

18 May 1977 Preble County, Ohio Class A #4970

Case report about a sighting by a boy and local rumors about a bigfoot in area.

Two boys were walking their dog in the evening when they noticed a strong rotten-egg smell and saw a large hairy creature. The creature chased them across a field toward home, taking very large steps, and disappeared from view near railroad tracks and a highway. After reaching home they told a parent, who called law enforcement, and responding deputies searched the area.

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
