Woman experienced terrifying close encounter as a child and later as a teenager

A child playing with a ball in the backyard of a farmhouse chased it to a fence by a thicket, where a large hair-covered biped leaned over the fence close to her face. She screamed and backed toward the house as the creature looked toward the house and then fled. Family members came after hearing the screams but did not see the creature.

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
