Possible howl heard while fishing at night near Otterville

The witness and companions were cat fishing late at night on a riverbank when they heard a loud deep howl or scream lasting several seconds. Shortly afterward a pack of coyotes began yelping and barking nearby, then all wildlife sounds went silent. The group did not recognize what made the initial sound.

While heading to cabin at 6:30 a.m., husband and wife have sighting near Wipsipinicon River

A couple driving on an unimproved road in the early morning smelled a strong odor and then saw a large hairy creature standing beside the trail about 50 yards ahead. The creature looked toward them briefly before turning and walking away into cover with long strides. The husband later described the encounter to an investigator by phone, while the wife declined to discuss it because she was frightened.

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
