Hunter sees black creature dive into the Sioux River near Washburn

The witness was walking downstream along the Sioux River after trout fishing when he noticed a small black furry creature on the bank ahead. The creature immediately launched itself arms-first into the deepest pool and disappeared underwater without resurfacing during several minutes of watching. The witness did not inspect the spot for tracks and continued out to his car, remaining puzzled about what he 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
