Big, fast moving creature seen near Laurel Hill Turnpike

The witness was walking back from a grassy field off an old road when they felt watched and smelled a strong odor like body odor and wet dog. They then glimpsed something out of the corner of their eye moving parallel to the road through dense woods. They described it as larger and faster than a bear and noisy while moving, and they left quickly without checking for tracks.

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
