Daylight sighting along levee in East Peoria

The witness was sitting in a vehicle near a levee on the east Peoria side of the river in the morning. A tan, hair-covered figure was seen running along the top of the levee about 100 yards away for 5 to 6 seconds. The figure moved very fast with bent legs in fluid motion, its head steady and down. The witness emphasized its remarkable speed.

Memory told of daytime encounter near Farmdale Park

As a child hunting in snowy woods along a creek, the witness came over a hill and watched a tall black hairy figure moving around a stick hut in a blackberry patch and picking berries. After the figure noticed the witness, it left very quickly. The witness then reported a multi-hour gap with no memory of leaving before arriving home.

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
