Object throwing near Perrysville, Ohio (2020)

18 August 2020 night, 22:50 hours Perrysville, Ashland County, Ohio 4 witnesses

Account

A family of four was camping in the primitive area of a park at night when sticks and possible rocks were thrown from the woods and strange noises were heard. After a loud bang on a nearby wooden outhouse, a witness saw a tall dark hairy figure run into the woods. A responding ranger searched the woods, found no one and no damage, and noted the family were the only campers in that section.
