Partial sighting Adair County Main reports Clear all
1963 Columbia, Adair County, Kentucky #876

Man recalls early morning childhood sighting of creature outside of his home.

On a hot summer night in 1963, the witness awoke in bed to a strong foul odor and saw a large hairy figure filling the bedroom window. The figure swayed and moved forward and back while producing low guttural growls, appearing backlit and taller than the window, with a conical head, no neck, and hair on its arms. The frightened witness alerted parents who found nothing but remarked on the smell, while the family dog barked and whined in the barn.

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
