Scream near Lansing, Iowa

The witness and two companions went squirrel hunting on a hillside near a shooting range south of town. Something large crashed down the hill to the tree line, beat its chest and gave a loud chimpanzee-like screech while shaking trees and breaking branches. The group hid together in a ditch expecting an attack until the sounds stopped and the woods went silent. The witness recalls intense fear and has little memory of leaving the woods that day.

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
