Young girl has sighting near Milan

The witness and an older sibling took a vehicle to a burn site at the woods edge to burn household trash. While watching the fire, the witness heard a loud growl and saw a black, hairy, man-shaped figure walking into the woods over a slight rise. The pair fled to the house, where penned dogs were barking excitedly.

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
