Young teen is chased by a seven foot tall hairy creature

May 2000 around 11 PM Hamden, Vinton County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

The witness stopped while riding a motorcycle on family property at night and saw a tall hairy figure in a ditch that stood up. The figure chased the witness as he rode toward his house, continued approaching after two crashes, and left after a yard floodlight was turned on. Large humanlike footprints were found in the area the next day.
