Man recalls early evening sighting near Brandywine Ski Resort

14 September 2005 around 6:00 p.m. BOSTON HTS, Summit County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving north on Route 271 near a ski resort around 6 p.m. on a clear day when an upright, hairy figure was seen at the top of a hill. The figure had its back turned and walked away toward a tree line and thick woods during a sighting lasting only a few seconds. The witness felt the figure was neither a man nor a bear, recalling dark brown hair that looked matted in places.
