Rock Island County Clear all
9 September 1969 It Was In Hampton Ill., Rock Island County, Illinois Class A #24147

Creature seen at a flooded rock quarry near Hampton

The witness was walking with a companion to a quarry at night to fish. While running down a steep slope to the water, the witness came within about ten feet of a tall, thin hair-covered figure crouched with its hands and feet on the ground and facing away. The witness immediately ran back up the slope without telling the companion what was seen, and the two then fished for about an hour with no further incident.

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
