Class B First-hand BFRO #79982

Possible daylight sighting of a sasquatch near powerlines 2 miles east of Hammondsville

March 2026 around 8:30am Hammondsville, Jefferson County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

The witness dropped a companion at a nearby farmhouse and drove to a barn on a hunting property in the morning. From the barn, the witness saw a tall black upright figure on the far crest of a field that stepped left, paused, then moved out of sight within about 15 seconds. The legs were not visible and no binoculars were available, but the witness said it moved like a person and was none of the common local animals.
