Bainbridge (Chagrin Falls) Ohio resident reports multiple sightings

March 2001 about 8:45 p.m., dark Bainbridge, Geauga County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

Late one dark evening the witness went behind the house to release tied dogs. A very tall, wide, white-gray fur-covered figure stood motionless a few feet away upright like a man. The witness avoided looking directly, released the dogs, and walked away; one dog halted and cowered while the figure stared without moving or making sound, eventually letting them leave.
