Sasquatch sighting near Sydney, Ohio
Account
As a seven-year-old at a Scout outing in a field near a dam, the witness saw a large black figure by the treeline and ran toward it before it moved away very fast with long strides. Later that night near a fire by brush, vegetation was heard breaking and something like a stick may have been thrown. Adults dismissed the account at the time.
