Memory told of a daylight sightling while walking down railroad tracks near East Liverpool

August 1973 7:30 or 8:00 p.m. East Liverpool, Columbiana County, Ohio 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion were walking along railroad tracks beside the Ohio River in the evening when they heard brush being trampled on the hillside. They looked up and saw a very tall hair-covered figure about 25 yards away leaning out from behind a tree with an arm around the trunk. Both immediately ran back the way they had come.
