Partial sighting Madison County Class A Clear all
8 July 2004 Alton, Madison County, Illinois Class A #10535

Two teens have daylight sighting near Alton

Two companions were building a squirrel-hunting blind at the edge of the woods when a dead tree they had been unable to push over cracked and fell. They then saw a tall, upright, hair-covered figure standing nearby. The pair quickly left the area and ran home.

Partial sightingTree break
Summer 1981 Huntsville, Madison County, Arkansas Class A #11430

Two young men have a sighting while spelunking near Huntsville.

Two companions searching for a cave rested in a pasture near a wooded ridge around midday. They heard something large moving in the woods behind them and then saw a tall hair-covered being partly obscured behind a tree a short distance away. The figure disappeared quietly without a clear departure sound, leaving them frightened, and they left the area quickly.

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
