Partial sighting San Bernardino County Class A Clear all
June 1976 Big Bear City, San Bernardino County, California Class A #9759

Young man has a midnight face-to-face encounter with an unknown creature outside Big Bear City

The witness was staying at a cabin with a friend's family and left the cabin during the night to urinate. About 20 feet away, a large dark being stood behind a bush parting the top with its hands, with its upper chest, head, arms and hands visible. After looking back for 15 to 20 seconds, the witness ran inside, and a search the next morning found no traces.

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
