Two men in car see hairy, upright animal on side of road near Turner, Maine

The witness was a passenger with a companion driving on a back road toward a club when they passed a very hairy upright animal on the roadside that appeared mid-stride and ready to cross. Both occupants noticed it and immediately confirmed to each other what they had seen. At the club, other people said similar sightings had occurred in the area under the local name Loopgaroo.

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
