Rare sighting in RI by herpetology student

The witness went into the woods at night to look for reptiles and amphibians and noticed a rotten meat-like smell. While leaving, the witness heard loud ape-like screams that seemed to get closer, followed by crashes and snapping limbs, and fled to the car. While driving back, the headlights illuminated an upright hairy figure standing in the road that screamed again and ran 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
