Creature observed walking back and forth by witnesses

Two companions on a caribou hunt watched from a ridge with binoculars as a large grey animal on hind legs crossed a distant clearing between spruce trees over about half an hour. They lost sight of it when caribou entered the area and it moved into heavy brush. After the hunt, a bush pilot suggested the description matched the Iliamna region's 'Hairy Man' known to local native people.

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
