Man has close encounter very near the Grand River State Game Preserve

August 2004 midmorning, between 10-11 AM East Farmington, Trumbull County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

The witness was exploring woods in the morning after hearing activity in the brush and climbed a small knoll for a better view. At close range he saw a creature kneeling on one knee that stood and stared at him before walking into dense woods and looking back once. He attempted to follow with an audio recorder but only heard uncertain sounds in the brush and eventually lost his pack and left as darkness approached.
