Object throwing in Ohio (2019)

The witness and three friends camped in the park in summer 2019 and hiked the towpath trail near the river after dusk. They had sticks then small rocks thrown behind them, smelled a pungent odor, felt watched, and fled. After stopping to rest they heard a loud deep growl and saw a very tall dark-haired humanoid in a weapon-mounted light before it stepped behind an oak and disappeared. They ran to camp, heard disturbances overnight, and in the morning found the campsite strewn about, a food pot missing, and two neat piles of large rocks by the fire pit.

4:45am road crossing sighting of a Sasquatch 18 miles south of Cleveland

Around 4:45 a.m., the witness was driving west to work when headlights illuminated a large dark figure crossing the road a short distance ahead. The figure moved bipedally with swinging arms at a brisk walk and crossed in only a few steps before entering the woods. Because of its great height and width, the witness judged it was not a human.

Homeowner across the street from East Fork State Park (30mi SE of Cincinnati) describes possible encounter at night

Late at night the witness was alerted by his dog barking intensely at the woods across the street. He shone a flashlight and saw blinking eyeshine high up, which a family member dismissed as an owl. After firing a BB gun toward the light, he heard something crash quickly through dense undergrowth to the left while the dog ran to keep pace and kept staring at the spot where the movement stopped.

May 2016 Lancaster, Fairfield County, Ohio Class A #51962

An ongoing array of audio recordings and multiple sightings in the heart of Fairfield County

The witness reported being awakened at home by loud vocalizations and sounds of objects hitting the house, with farm and domestic animals reacting. He went outside armed to check the chicken pen and reported seeing a man-like bipedal figure taking chickens and retreating toward the woods. He said he pursued to high ground and aimed through his rifle scope, but branches fell near him and loud movement approached from both sides, prompting him to retreat and later fire toward the hollow. A single track was reported in the creek bottom the next day, but erosion had removed detail.
