Hunters hear unusual animal stalking them at night.

Two hunters camped overnight on a wooded slope while elk hunting. After dark they smelled a strong putrid odor, heard distant whistle/howl sounds and a closer loud howl, then heard deliberate footsteps crunching in snow approaching the firelight. After shouting and firing a pistol shot, they heard a grunt and running footsteps, then fired repeatedly and drove off the mountain the same night.

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
