Youths see creature near creek

In the early 1970s two young relatives were walking and playing in a creek behind church grounds on a Saturday mid-morning when they heard shuffling and grunting. Looking through the trees about 75 yards away, they saw what looked at first like a man, then perceived as a large fast-moving bipedal form heading away from the road and church deeper into swampy woods. They ran back to tell their fathers, who searched the area without finding anything.

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
