Dairy worker describes 5am sighting between Tappan and Clendening Lake

March 1982 about 5:00 in the morning Deersville, Harrison County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

Early one morning in March 1982 the witness was feeding young cattle in an outdoor pen on a dairy farm. After hearing a grunt, the witness saw a tall dark bipedal figure stand up near a hay feeder and then walk away toward the woods and over a fence. The witness heard crunching footsteps and fence noise for several seconds, then later found no tracks after the frost melted.
