Daylight sighting by a couple, on a frozen lake near Centerville

A couple walking with their two dogs noticed a large dark figure crossing a frozen lake toward an island. They watched it move quickly through tall cattails from about 350 yards down to about 150 yards before it entered woods and disappeared. The witness tried to approach for a closer look but the dogs refused to follow, and he found no tracks in the hard-packed snow and ice.

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
