Man recalls encounters while camping with his hunting party south of Cabool

Three teens sitting around a campfire at night heard a sound behind their tents and went to investigate without lights. A tall figure stepped out from behind a tree close to them, prompting them to flee to camp, arm themselves, and enlarge the fire. For about 45 minutes they heard heavy footsteps from multiple directions and watched several figures circling and staring from just beyond the light until the adults returned and the group left for town.

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
