First-hand Bigfoot Society EP 1091

Sasquatch sighting in Ohio (2016)

2016 night, around ten forty-five Ohio 2 witnesses

Account

Two friends fished at a pond until near closing time and then walked up a brushy stairway toward a lit shelter, playground and parking area. They noticed something bent over digging at a trash can at the edge of the light and whistled, thinking it was a raccoon. The figure stood, reaching well above the can, showed an arm swinging as it turned, then moved silently into darkness out of view, after which both hurried to their car and left.
