Class A First-hand BFRO #39360

Late night road crossing on SR 39 west of Nashville

21 June 2012 11:00 pm at night Nashville, Holmes County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving east late at night when a tall, dark, hairy figure crossed the road in a few strides. After slowing and stopping, the witness watched it from behind as it walked up a bank toward the treeline, swinging an arm and showing shiny hair over its whole body. Frightened it might turn, the witness drove away and later learned others had reported similar sightings at the same farm.
