Couple returning home spots a bigfoot crossing their driveway outside Columbiana
Account
The witness and a companion arrived home by car in the evening and saw a large fur-covered figure cross the driveway on all fours and enter cattails by a pond, where it disappeared from view. The figure was described as very large and fast, low to the ground and bent in the middle, with a barrel-like torso. An investigator visited the next day, found impressions in grass and mud, photographed them and made casts.
