Man recalls incident years before among homes near Brick

Around midnight on a warm summer evening, the witness was talking with a companion beside a car in front of a home. They noticed a large grayish dog-like shape under a streetlight nearby. When high beams were turned on, the figure stood upright and ran bipedally across the road and around the dark side of the house, disappearing within seconds.

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
