Odor Sangamon County Clear all
23 June 2011 Chatham, Sangamon County, Illinois Class B #29612

Vocalizations recorded and possible footprint found near Sugar Creek

The witness was outside at home in the early evening with a west breeze when his dog became fearful, barking and running in circles while facing west. The witness reported a foul odor at the same time, similar to a previous foul-smell incident that had left the dog unsettled for days. No creature was seen, only the odor and the dog's fear behavior were reported.

Odor near Chatham, Illinois

A year earlier the dog became fearful facing south, hid shaking in the basement, and that evening the witness smelled a strong locker-room and road-kill odor, after which deer and coyotes were rarely seen.

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
