Class A First-hand BFRO #6330

A man standing on his back porch watches a large hair covered creature run down the railroad tracks and jump down into the brush

May 2003 around 11 PM Lodi, Medina County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

Late at night, the witness saw a large black-haired bipedal creature on elevated railroad tracks behind the house. The creature walked along the tracks, then sprinted and jumped down into brush on the far side. It remained upright while in view and moved very fast, and the witness was certain it was not a bear or another person.
