Class A First-hand BFRO #10925

Four men have a sighting after vocalizations cause them to leave their campsite near Lake Vesuvius

24 February 1991 night, about 11:23 p.m. Ironton, Lawrence County, Ohio 4 witnesses

Account

Four companions camping overnight found a large fresh footprint in mud during the afternoon. Late at night they heard prolonged bark-like screams from two directions, then encountered a tall hairy figure at close range with a flashlight. The figure left up a steep bank, and the group retreated to their car while vocalizations followed them and displaced tires blocked the road.
