Whoop Van Buren County Clear all
about four years after I had left the farm Van Buren County, Iowa EP 464

Sasquatch sighting near Van Buren County

About four years after the witness left the farm, she directed a researcher and several companions to an old creek spot. They reported a large dark individual with a female and two or three young approaching, knocking wood and whooping. The group said the creatures would only repeat the word for friend that the witness had taught one individual years earlier.

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
