19 September 2008 Mount Vernon, Washington County, Illinois Class A #24766

On-going activity experienced by a family east of St. Louis

The witness and a relative were wood-knocking in the backyard at night. After the witness knocked five times, they heard a high-pitched chatter from one direction and a grumbling sound from another direction for about a minute. Additional knocking produced no further response that evening.

August 1993 Washington County, Oregon Class B #701

Area residents hear repeated loud vocalizations

The witness reports hearing very loud howls coming from a forested area behind the home on multiple nights during one summer. Each bout lasted about 30 seconds, starting low then rising, and local dogs barked and seemed agitated during the sounds. The witness never saw the source of the sounds.

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
