Witness tells of hearing and smelling a creature near Wildwood Falls

The witness and a relative were running at night along an old logging road toward the Falls when they noticed a strong musty odor. About 50 feet ahead, they perceived only a large, fast, dark movement that crashed through dense brush toward the Falls and then fell silent. The next day they found a wide smashed path with broken small trees and grooves in the ground. The witness stated the odor was unlike bear and distinct from other animals encountered before.

Hiker sees tracks in snow

The witness was hiking on packed snow and found large barefoot prints that were longer than their own boots and sank much deeper into the snow than their own weight. Beside the trail, multiple 15- to 20-foot firs were all broken and pointing away from the trail. No creature was seen.

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
