Two brothers hear strange screams while target shooting. Unusual scratchings on a tree discovered the following day

The witness and a relative had been target shooting and had returned to town when they heard an extremely loud scream from the woods they had just left, carrying across a large field. The witness released a dog to investigate, but the dog ran inside the house and refused to go back outside. The next morning the two returned to the area and found several trees with scratch marks about six feet above the ground.

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
