September 1981 Veneta, Lane County, Oregon #4497

Man recalls a sighting as a 14-year old near Veneta

The witness was walking up a forest trail and noticed a smell, then saw a creature standing behind a bush next to a tree about 20 feet away. The witness avoided looking directly at it while passing within about 10-12 feet as it stood watching and swaying slightly. After passing, the witness heard rustling and turned to see it cross the trail upright on two legs and disappear into the woods.

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
