Video footage shot at dusk shows a primate in a tree in the background

A group filmed their campfire in upstate New York in 1997 without noticing anything unusual at the time. Years later while transferring the tape, a viewer noticed a dark figure moving in the trees in the background. The footage is described as showing a smaller ape-like figure about five feet tall climbing and swinging between trees with great agility, and follow-up review describes a second larger bipedal silhouette nearby.

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
