Resident hears possible early morning vocalizations near Westfield

Around 3 a.m. the witness went outside to smoke after being unable to sleep and heard distant, powerful howls/screams lasting about ten minutes that faded as if the source was moving. The witness woke a friend, who also heard the sounds and found them chilling. Both men, experienced outdoors, said the vocalizations were unlike any familiar nocturnal animal sounds.

Night fisherman has possible encounter at the Cobble Mountain Reservoir

The witness was fishing alone by low water late at night when heavy footsteps approached through brush. The witness saw eyeshine and a dark shoulder-like silhouette and then heard a loud high-pitched shrieking howl. Frightened, the witness abandoned fishing gear and ran back to the car.

The Database of Unexplained Encounters. Claims are recorded as claims: the Anomadex catalogues what people reported, where it was reported, and how sure I am that it was read correctly. It does not rule on what they 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
