Hikers observe a tall human-like figure near Rawley Springs

The witness and a companion were hiking in a national forest when they stopped to rest and eat. After standing up, they noticed a very large reddish-brown figure standing down the mountainside and watched it for about 90 seconds. The figure then walked away into the trees before they could photograph it. A few minutes earlier they had heard an animal sounding in distress from the same direction.

Driver passes tall bipedal figure at night along Route 33

The witness was driving east on Route 33 at night with a friend when headlights illuminated a tall, black-haired biped walking behind a guardrail. Shortly before the sighting, a loud sustained high-pitched sound was heard. The witness felt panicked and shaken, while the passenger reported only seeing a black blur.

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
