Class A First-hand BFRO #11771

A young man hears vocals and has a sighting north of Malvern

30 May 2005 about 11 pm Malvern, Carroll County, Ohio 2 witnesses

Account

The witness heard a deep howling sound near livestock pens after leaving a relative's farmhouse, then drove down the hill beside the house. In high-beam headlights the witness saw a large, dark-brown, hairy biped jump from an embankment and cross the rural road in a few steps without looking at the vehicle. The animal disappeared into a field on the other side, and the witness returned home agitated and called to warn the household to lock doors.
