Woman recounts possible night time encounter near Mogadore

10 June 2008 1 am Mogadore, Portage County, Ohio 7 witnesses

Account

A group walking on a path by a closed campground at night heard something large crashing through trees alongside them. A very large rock then landed a few feet away with enough force to vibrate the ground, followed by a loud growl. The group left the area immediately.
