Sasquatch sighting in Ohio (1991)
Account
The guest and his research partner were spending the night by a lake at Salt Fork for regular habituation work and had gotten out fishing gear when rocks splashed near them. They walked down a dead-end road, turned on flashlights together, and saw a very large hairy figure standing in the road about ten to fifteen yards away. The figure looked at them briefly without aggression, breathed audibly, then turned and walked easily up a steep hill. Both men were shaken by adrenaline, radioed their mentor, and chose not to pursue.
