Tree break near Wardensville, West Virginia

On the final summer trip the witness and his uncle found a large snapped branch blocking the driveway. That night after the witness did whoop calls they heard distant wood knocks, return whoops that mimicked the witness, and a loud scream/howl. In the morning something slapped the cabin wall leaving an oily handprint, prompting them to leave.

Property disturbance near Wardensville, West Virginia

While packing in the morning the witness and the relative heard something rush the cabin and slap the side hard enough to vibrate it. The relative ran outside with a gun and found nothing, but photographed what looked like a large oily handprint on the siding. They left immediately afterward.

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
