Woman recounts possible early evening sighting near Saybrook

22 September 2007 dusk Saybrook, Ashtabula County, Ohio 2 witnesses

Account

The witness was driving home with her son at dusk when a tall, dark-furred biped with long arms crossed the road in front of their vehicle in about three strides and entered the woods. After pulling into the driveway, they noticed a strong rotten odor and heard branches breaking and a high-pitched woot sound. They went inside, and the odor was gone when the witness returned outside an hour later.
