Man is followed by something all the way out of the mountains

The witness had followed elk into a canyon while archery hunting and remained out until a cloudy, pitch-black night. While hiking about an hour back toward the road, the witness heard something following, breaking sticks and closing to within 10-15 feet and stopping when the witness stopped. After waiting in a small clearing and then continuing through forest toward the road, the follower circled and came up behind again before stopping at the road. The witness never saw the source and reported no odor.

Anomadex

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
