Daytime observation through binoculars while hunting behind a home in Summersville

The witness was hunting deer behind the house and watched a small bear-like creature through binoculars for many minutes. The creature turned and showed a solid black hairless human-like face before disappearing silently when the witness glanced away after hearing rocks falling behind. The witness did not feel threatened and saw no limbs, focusing on the head.

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
