Wood knocks heard and then creature spotted

The witness went into a mossy wooded area with companions to look for reptiles and amphibians. After hearing three knocks on a tree, the witness walked toward large boulders and reported seeing a creature with reddish-brown hair and amber eyes crouched behind brush. The witness fled to the road, told the companion to leave immediately, and returned home after being away about an hour.

Strange howls heard at night

The witness was outside on a companion's cabin porch at night when both heard strange howling sounds lasting a few minutes. The companion calmly attributed the sounds to bigfoot, said similar sounds had been heard many times before, and reassured the witness they would not cause harm. The witness was unsettled enough to want to go back inside.

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
