November 2004 Moon Twp, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania Class A #19589

Dawn sighting by hunter within 2 miles of boundary of Pittsburgh International Airport

The witness settled into a treestand before dawn to deer hunt. After hearing wood-on-wood knocks and then bipedal footsteps approaching along the ridge top, the witness watched a large dark hair-covered figure at sunrise for about 15 seconds before it covered the distance in three strides into dense vegetation.

September 1997 Sewickley, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania Class A #105

Resident's nighttime sighting outside home near Sewickly

Late at night in September 1997, the witness was smoking on a back porch when a high-pitched screech was heard from a neighboring yard. The witness then saw a very tall white human-like form running through that yard with its head turned toward them. The form ran into nearby woods and running sounds continued for several seconds before the witness went inside.

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
