Possible sighting, wood knocks and vocalizations west of Girard

The witness described living at a wooded property for about a year with repeated nighttime disturbances. On one occasion in heavy fog the witness saw a large dark bipedal shape, later estimated at about seven feet tall and very muscular. The sighting occurred amid other reported howls, tree knocks, and signs of activity around the house and woods.

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
