Recollection of spotting a tall figure cross a trail at dusk near Norris Lake

At dusk the witness and her young son were leading family members back along a wooded trail after fishing when a tall dark hairy figure crossed the trail just ahead of them and vanished into dense vegetation. The witness described it as very tall and bulky with long hair and long arms swinging as it moved quickly in a slumped posture. Her son also glimpsed the figure, but relatives behind a bend saw nothing, and the group heard no further sounds and did not search for tracks.

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
