Class B First-hand BFRO #42022

Possible nighttime encounter near Spencer leaves three men startled

13 April 2013 around 11:00 PM Spencer, Medina County, Ohio 3 witnesses

Account

Late at night three companions pulled over by an overgrown archery field to look for deer and noticed green eyeshine wide apart just above tall grass. The source of the eyes stood upright to a great height, looked toward them, then walked into the adjoining woods. After leaving, they returned for a size comparison with a 6-foot companion walking toward the treeline while the others watched from the truck; the figure reappeared, stood up and towered over the companion before leaving into the woods again.
