Account
In 1972 the witness and a companion were bicycling uphill on Highway 30 toward the coast with camping gear when they heard a single very loud, lonely, human-like howling cry. They stopped and watched the tree-covered slope below the road, debating whether to turn back, but heard nothing further. Years later the witness heard an online recording described as an Ohio Bigfoot vocalization that recalled the 1972 sound, which he now believes must have been made very close by.
