Family has nighttime sighting near Gainesville

The witness, then a child, was riding in the back of a car driven by a relative late at night when headlights revealed a tall hair-covered figure crossing in front of the vehicle. The figure continued across a creek, climbed into a yard, and walked uphill out of headlight range while the occupants watched from the car. After driving into the driveway and running inside, a relative briefly went out with a rifle and light before returning.

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
