An open record of things people cannot explain

People who described animals reacting

233 accounts in the record mention this, spread across 1940s to 2020s. It is one of the rarer things people report, which makes it worth more when two accounts share it.


0.54%
of every account in the record mentions animals reacting. When two strangers both do, the engine weighs that heavily.
