Daylight sighting and video attempt by Mother and son near Charlton

The witness reported seeing a tall, wide, black furry figure leaning against a tree near a dirt road while riding an ATV, then speeding home. The witness returned to the site with a relative in a vehicle, recorded video, and both watched the figure leave toward pines. An investigator later visited, marked the reported head height at over eight feet, and found no tracks in fresh snow.

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
