Class A First-hand BFRO #69065

Recent encounter behind Warehouse 24 Gym on the outskirts of Ashland

24 April 2021 about midnight Ashland, Ashland County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

Around midnight the witness was walking out of a gym toward her vehicle near a treeline when she heard a twig snap. She looked up to see a tall gray-furred figure about 30 yards away under parking lot lighting turning to run back into the woods with swinging arms. The figure quickly disappeared behind the building, and the witness left the area and called relatives for a ride while shaken.
