Two cousins have a sighting in a thunderstorm on a family farm outside Palestine

The witness and a relative were camping and fishing at a family farm when a thunderstorm forced them to shelter in a barn. During lightning flashes they saw a tall dark upright figure moving quickly with swinging arms. They stayed in the barn overnight and next morning found fish left on a stringer had been eaten.

Man recalls childhood experience with bigfoot

When 11 years old, the witness was playing near the woods at dusk and felt repeatedly drawn to look at the tree line. The witness noticed a dark pear-shaped form just inside the woods that resembled a bushy shrub. After staring, the shape stood up and walked down into a streambed and up the other side into the forest. The frightened witness ran inside reporting a monster.

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
