Other humanoid creature reports map
Reports of man-like figures that do not fit a named category such as Bigfoot or Yeti. This is a catch-all bucket, and what it contains depends on how each source described the figure.
We map claims, not creatures. A case is what some source says someone saw or heard, with the link to that source. It is not proof that anything was there, and a retelling counts once, not as a second sighting.
By the numbers
2,801 cases on the map, 1,844 of them first-hand (the witness telling it). A case may stand on several documents; copies and reprints are not confirmations.
Best-documented cases
Ranked by independent sources first, then documents, then first-hand accounts. This says how well a claim is documented, not whether it is true.
