Class A First-hand BFRO #48372

Memory told of being startled by a large biped while scouting for deer during the day near Whitney

November 1994 about 4:00 pm Whitney, Belmont County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

The witness and a relative were scouting hunting locations in the afternoon when the relative walked ahead toward a truck. The witness noticed movement to the side and observed a tall, broad, dark-haired bipedal figure walk a short distance before disappearing into thicker woods. The witness aimed a pistol but chose not to shoot and did not tell the relative about the sighting for over a week.
