Class A Investigator summary BFRO #4200

Late night sighting by motorists on Austin Road in Geneva

July 1991 around 10:30PM Geneva, Ashtabula County, Ohio 2 witnesses

Account

A mother driving her son home at night watched a very large hair-covered animal cross the road in the headlights about 150 feet away. The witnesses saw it from the neck down, describing a bulky build, dark coloration, a swinging left arm, and crossing the road in about two and a half steps. An investigator later visited the same location and needed almost nine steps to cross the same stretch.
