Hunter has early morning encounter 8 miles north of Riverdale

A deer hunter sat in a tree stand on a crisp clear morning while noticing a strong foul odor. While walking back along an old logging trail around 10 a.m., the hunter saw a very large upright hairy animal step onto the trail, pause and look, then calmly walk away bipedally. The hunter ran the opposite direction, dropping gear, and later returned to find no tracks but noted a freshly broken branch.

Possible vocalization heard by fisherman at Monksville Reservoir

The witness was fishing alone from shore at night when a loud scream-wail was heard from behind, across the parking lot. The witness later said the sound closely matched archived whoop-howl recordings. The witness left immediately without investigating or returning to look.

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
