Woman recounts nighttime sighting of a small bigfoot outside her home near Beloit

August 2009 between 2 and 3 A.M. Beloit, Mahoning County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

The witness was awakened at night by something pulling and scratching at locked shed doors. From a bedroom window she watched a small hair-covered biped with its fingers in the door crack for several minutes. When she opened a back door and turned on a porch light, the creature looked toward her and then ran quickly on two legs into an overgrown field.
