Camper describes stalking by Bigfoots near "Devil's Bathtub" in the Black Hills

The witness was camping alone in a tent in Spearfish Canyon. Late at night he heard a whistle-like sound, a tree-knock sound, and slow heavy bipedal footsteps approaching and passing his tent, accompanied by a strong unpleasant smell. He shouted at the presence and later woke to tree knocks and varied whooping sounds from multiple directions lasting about 15 minutes, and found no sign in the morning.

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
