November 1988 CLAIRTON, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania Class B #28012

Hunter observes a huge figure scaling a steep hillside in just moments near Clairton

Late one morning in November 1988, the witness was preparing for deer hunting at the base of a steep wooded hill before dawn when he heard a noise in a nearby thicket. A very large, broad humanoid shape rose up and quickly ran across a clearing and up the steep hillside out of sight in seconds. The witness waited until daylight, then hunted from his stand the rest of the day, noting the woods were unusually quiet.

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
