Dog walker lady has daylight sighting of a Bigfoot in a nature preserve NW of Coolville

October 2019 dusk Athens, Athens County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

The witness was walking dogs on paths in the woods at dusk when the dogs became alert and a strange kaw-kaw call was heard. The witness then saw a gray, medium-build, roughly seven-foot-tall figure with shiny blue eyes and bent arms that looked at them, shuffled its feet, and turned into the woods toward a ridge. The witness left with the dogs and later reported finding a partial footprint.
