Childhood memory told of seeing an upright, white animal while playing in a creek near Brussels

Two children were playing with tadpoles in a slough along a creek in the afternoon. One looked up and saw a white, extremely hairy upright animal with very long arms standing behind the other child. The children ran to a house a quarter mile away, adults returned with them to the area, and the children were told not to tell anyone about what was seen.

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
