Summer 1977 Sparta, Morrow County, Ohio Class A #1625

Children have daytime close encounter near Sparta; UPDATED with Witness Sketch

Three children walking on a wooded footpath noticed a tall female-like figure with a smaller juvenile standing by a tree off to the side. The larger figure stared at them, gave off a dead-animal smell, stepped toward them, growled and bared its teeth after being pointed out. The group fled toward a residence while hearing branches breaking, prolonged howling and screaming, and trees being beaten.

Man recalls childhood sighting near Allison Park

Two companions sitting on a pipeline corridor heard alternating bird-like calls and wood-knock sounds for about 20 minutes that grew louder and seemed to come from very close by.

Both the witnesses and the animal immediately fled, with the animal crashing in a straight line uphill through the woods.
