Hunter encounters creature in Maine woods, claims to have shot it

The witness, hunting with a relative, shot at a bear-like figure about 200 yards away at the far end of a clearing. The creature fell, then stood on two legs and ran off. The witness followed human-like tracks for about half a mile, noted deep impressions and trees broken in line with the tracks, heard low grunting sounds, then left with the relative.

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
