Spring 1979 Columbia Tn, Maury County, Tennessee Class A #29223

Man recalls daytime encounter near Columbia and Duck River

In 1979 the witness and a friend were walking in woods onto an open rocky glade when they came face-to-face with an upright creature about 20-30 yards away. All three froze and stared for about a minute before the creature gave a loud growl ending in a high-pitched scream and walked back into the bushes. Later that day the witness returned with his brother and found a small tree twisted to splinters.

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
