Class A First-hand BFRO #8778

A possible sighting of the River Styx monster crossing a small clearing

October 2000 evening, probably 5 PM or so Wadsworth, Medina County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

The witness was driving home from work past a crop field when he noticed a tall brown-covered bipedal figure crossing a clearing between woodlots about 200 yards away. The figure moved with very long strides and covered the opening in a few seconds. The witness thought it was too tall and long-strided to be a man and later wondered if it could have been a Bigfoot.
