Two couples shine owl and observe large hairy primate

In summer 1981 four young people parked at night with headlights toward the woods and noticed eyeshine high in the trees. When bright headlights were turned on they reported seeing a huge standing figure that turned and walked away, prompting them to flee in reverse. They returned in daylight the next day and noted a large circular area of burned grass tops.

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
