Possible sighting and casting of a print near Hosak's Cave in Salt Fork State Park

12 February 2017 Morning Kimbolton, Guernsey County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving to work through the park in the morning when she saw a large hairy brown figure standing on the roadside berm before it moved into the brush. The encounter lasted about 10 seconds and she did not see its face. Later that day she returned with her daughter and found a footprint, which investigators later documented and cast.
