Partial sighting Apache County Clear all
7 November 1981 Cove, Apache County, Arizona Class A #8685

Morning sighting in the Lukachukai Mountains of northeast Arizona

The witness was deer hunting on a mountain ridge in the morning when separated from companions. He heard brush crashing and saw a very large black hairy biped moving downhill through tall oak brush toward a trail and into the forest, smelling a strong musky odor. He watched it through his rifle scope but did not shoot, then left by a road while hearing movement alongside and firing once to scare it.

BFRO YEAR: about 1986 Alpine, Apache County, Arizona Class B #11858

Possible night time sighting near Big Lake

The witness was riding in a car at night returning to camp with relatives when she looked out the side window. She saw a large, very furry animal in a break in the trees beside the road and watched it take several steps moving toward the forest. It appeared to be walking upright on two legs and looked larger than a bear, though darkness prevented seeing other features.

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
