Class A First-hand BFRO #841

Boy has several late night encounters near Sidney

November 1982 about 10:00 pm Between Piqua And Sidney, Shelby County, Ohio 2 witnesses

Account

While driving home at night with two relatives, the witness saw a large hairy figure on hands and knees chasing a small animal across the road in the headlights. As the car closed to about 15 to 20 feet, the figure stood upright to about six and a half to seven feet tall and walked quickly off the road in two steps. The group drove home quickly and a relative dismissed it as a large dog, which the witness rejected.
