Tall figure seen in the shadows at Mohican State Park

September 2015 3:00 AM Loudonville, Ashland County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

The witness was camping in a van at Mohican State Park and stepped outside around 3 a.m. to relieve himself. He noticed a tall, slender silhouette moving upright on two legs along the campground road away from him. He said it covered about 50 feet in 5 or 6 strides before disappearing into darkness, and he interpreted it as a Bigfoot.
