Trapper has a daylight sighting while driving near Wakefield

The witness was driving south to check traps when he noticed a dark form in the road ahead and approached for a closer look. The form rose onto two legs, looked toward the vehicle, then took two strides west into the swamp and vanished without leaving sign or sound. Using a roadside curve sign for scale, the witness estimated its height at eight and a half to nine feet and described it as very black with long arms. He was shaken and no longer enters the woods unarmed.

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
