Class A First-hand BFRO #51962

An ongoing array of audio recordings and multiple sightings in the heart of Fairfield County

May 2016 night Lancaster, Fairfield County, Ohio 4 witnesses

Account

The witness reported being awakened at home by loud vocalizations and sounds of objects hitting the house, with farm and domestic animals reacting. He went outside armed to check the chicken pen and reported seeing a man-like bipedal figure taking chickens and retreating toward the woods. He said he pursued to high ground and aimed through his rifle scope, but branches fell near him and loud movement approached from both sides, prompting him to retreat and later fire toward the hollow. A single track was reported in the creek bottom the next day, but erosion had removed detail.
