Sasquatch sighting near Youngstown, Ohio (2012)

2012 Youngstown, Mahoning County, Ohio 1 witness

Account

The witness was riding as a passenger across a reservoir bridge when birds drew attention to the opposite tree line. She saw a very large, broad, solid-colored figure holding a tree that turned its whole body. She ruled out a bear due to lack of muzzle and head shape, and later found other reports from the same area.
