Sasquatch sighting near Preble County (2026)

14 May 2026 about an hour before sunset Preble County, Ohio 2 witnesses

Account

The witness and a companion hiked the Big Woods Trail near sunset while filming. They noted knocked-down trees, wedged limbs, a stick structure, sudden silence and rustling, plus a strong feeling of being watched. Reviewing phone footage later revealed a shape resembling a head and shoulders moving behind trees about 50-100 feet off trail, and a later visit with an investigator yielded large footprints and plaster casts.
