Growl in Ohio

The witness and siblings parked and crossed a creek toward a field when companions heard a deep sound the witness missed. On the return they all heard a guttural growl from the creek area, gave it room, and left. A bear was mentioned as a possible explanation.

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
