Nighttime sighting by homeowner in Lake in the Hills

Around 3:30 a.m. the witness stepped onto the back patio and saw a tall muscular figure walking through a neighbor's yard toward nearby trees. The figure struck the neighbor's above-ground pool with its hand as it passed. The witness went upstairs to watch from a window, after which something was thrown at the house and the witness stopped watching.

Jogger has daylight sighting on Prairie Trail near Algonquin

The witness was jogging north on a prairie trail in daylight when they saw a large furry figure walking ahead with its back to them. As they approached, the figure looked larger and hair-covered, then went around a bend near a stream and retention pond. The witness continued ahead but found no one on the trail, and on the return looked into a dark opening by a fence near the water before leaving.

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
