Witness has two encounters with an animal near Genesee River

The witness and a young relative were walking on a trail in winter when they heard movement in the woods beside them. A tall grayish-white animal came onto the path very close to them, made a growl-like sound, and moved away quickly. The pair fled the area and said no one believed their account.

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
