Partial sighting Essex County Class B Clear all
June 2006 Minerva NY, Essex County, New York Class B #15191

Possible daylight sighting by motorist near Minerva

The witness was driving with a relative on an unpaved road toward a trailhead in late morning. From about 50 yards away the witness saw a large brown furry animal in the road lunge into dense woods. The witness reached the spot within seconds but found nothing in the clearing and woods beyond. The witness concluded the light color, large size, and quick disappearance did not fit a moose or bear.

Partial sighting
5 October 2002 Mineville, Essex County, New York Class B #5047

Possible sighting by motorist at night, outside Westport

The witness was traveling on a road late at night with a companion slightly behind. Near a forested area, something very large and fast ran out in front of the witness on two legs, with one hand held forward and apparently carrying something in the other. Conditions were very dark with light fog and drizzle.

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
