4 November 1978 Middle River, Marshall County, Minnesota Class B #23367

Hunter has a close but brief encounter in a hazelnut bog near Middle River

The witness was hunting deer and after a misfire on a deer entered a clearing. He noticed a dark man-like figure to his left that turned away and walked upright into dense brush. He left the area without looking for tracks and never returned to that spot.

Partial sighting
Fall 1974 Sparland, Marshall County, Illinois Class B #55386

Witness recalls possible nighttime sighting near Sparland

The witness and a relative were outside their home at night waiting for a family member to return from hunting. They saw a bipedal figure approaching from the woods that they first mistook for the family member. The figure stopped and stood, then quickly went back into the woods, prompting the relative to bring the witness inside and secure the home. The family member arrived home later.

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
