Large bipedal figure seen by pheasant hunter on public hunting land in Chichaqua Bottoms Greenbelt, near Bondurant

The witness was pheasant hunting with a dog on elevated ground beside tall grass. The dog became agitated and barked toward a distant tree line. The witness then saw a large dark figure moving through the tall grass toward the trees and disappearing into timber, after which the witness left the area.

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
