Early morning sighting by truck driver on I-68. Local police make report

A truck driver hauling steel west on a highway slowed and used high beams to check what was thought to be a hitchhiker on the opposite side. On approaching, the driver reported seeing a tall white-haired ape-like creature. Afterward the driver asked over CB radio about an escaped zoo or circus ape, and police took a statement and filed a report.

Family has evening sighting in Mayslick

The witness was watching television at home at night when a loud disturbance on the porch drew attention. Looking outside, the witness reported seeing a large white hairy creature holding a rooster, which it threw against the house before moving behind the house. The witness pursued it with a pistol and fired twice as it ran out of sight up a gravel road.

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
