Class A First-hand BFRO #41232

Sighting of two animals walking a ridge line in Salt Fork State Park

May 2013 about 6:30am Salt Fork State Park, Guernsey County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

The witness, a vendor at a weekend event in a state park, went out early the next morning to check the spot where a fisherman claimed an encounter. While walking a trail at sunrise, the witness heard talking-like sounds from a ridge and then saw two large black hairy figures. The figures walked quickly away along the ridge and into brush despite attempts to follow, and the witness took a cell-phone photo of one looking back.
