Nine year old playing hide and seek comes face to face with a small ape-like creature

The witness, then nine years old, went outside at dusk during a hide-and-seek game to look for siblings in a pine grove behind the house. The witness followed glimpsed movement around the trees, then saw a small dark-faced figure with large eyes watching through a pine and moving to keep eye contact. A high-pitched noise sounded from the trees, the figure ran away, and the witness ran back to the house.

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
