Two men training a hunting dog hear a loud, deep scream then briefly witness a large hairy thing cross a small clearing

The witness and a companion were training a hunting dog at night when the dog became spooked and refused to enter the woods. They then heard a loud deep shriek from nearby and saw the outline of a huge hairy figure at least seven feet tall walk through a clearing.

Teens encounter creature near Girard

Five companions were camping in a ravine and staging a b-b gun war when they heard loud movement approaching through the woods. They shone lights toward the sound and saw very large green glowing eyes, then fled to the highway. From a ditch they looked back and saw an enormous upright outline with arms hanging past its knees before running away.

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
