1 May 2012 Nashville, Brown County, Indiana Class A #35236

Eight years ago like it was only eight days

The witness and a companion were in bed at a rented cabin late at night when their dogs became agitated and then unusually quiet. A companion heard heavy breathing just beside the front door in the dark and noticed a strong musky odor. After preparing a light, they found large wet footprints crossing the porch, and the dogs remained unsettled all night.

2 young men report seeing "hairy ape-like being"

The witness and a companion were hiking in woods near a creek when they heard noises and noticed footprints with pieces of wood around them. The witness then saw a hairy ape-like figure about twenty yards away. Both individuals fled and returned home, where a family member did not believe them.

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
