June 1981 Leopolde, Perry County, Indiana Class A #25189

Husband and wife recall daytime sighting while their boys swam in Tipsaw Lake near Leopold

The witness and his wife were picnicking at a closed lake beach around noon while their two young children swam nearby. The witness noticed a tall dark figure on a hillside near the dam that came down to the water's edge and paced while facing the children. After joint observation, the figure moved up the dam and the family left the area.

1978–1990 Perry County, Indiana Class B #2469

Several sightings reported.

The reporter's father was squirrel hunting in deep cover near Patoka Lake when he noticed what looked like legs across a slough by a tree. The figure left on two feet and headed toward the lake after appearing to notice it was observed. The father hurried out and said nothing until he was miles away, then advised returning only with a larger-caliber rifle.

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
