Class B First-hand BFRO #11248

A series of sound reports, footprint finds and a sighting from a family living near New London

BFRO YEAR: 1998-00 morning to mid day New London, Huron County, Ohio 2 witnesses

Account

In mid to late summer 1999, the witness and their father were searching for ginseng in old timber south of town. They heard a very loud rumbling growling howl the witness had never heard before, which frightened them and ended their search. They heard the same sound three more times while leaving the woods, which felt like a warning that they were too close.
