Nightime sighting on SR 78 near Woodsfield
Account
The witnesses were riding around in heavy snow late at night when they saw a large gray creature cross the road about 200 yards away. Its head appeared to clear an 8-foot road sign. Afterwards they found very large three-toed tracks in the snow coming down a steep bank and continuing across the highway with a long stride.
