Vocalization Cabell County Clear all
Summer 1980 Cabell County, West Virginia Class B #1200

Witness heard what sounded like "people talking backwards."

The witness and a companion were night fishing at a rural lake when they heard loud, unintelligible voice-like sounds from the woods uphill behind them. Shortly after, a very loud and frightening scream came from just up the hill, terrifying both of them. They left the area immediately and the witness reports not returning.

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
