Sasquatch sighting in Ohio (2024)

The witness and partner visited the same lake-trail area on a busy holiday weekend.

Two fishermen hear possible vocalizations then find footprints west of Warren

Two coworkers arrived at a creek to fish before dawn after a night shift. Shortly after getting out of the car they heard a loud scream and strange yell-like sound from ahead, followed by something moving through brush. After fishing until daylight they walked the creek and found two large barefoot-like prints in a sandbar near disturbed mussels, leading up an embankment into dense thorns.

Possible stalking of ROTC Unit at Indian Mound Reserve

The witness was leading a small ROTC patrol on a nighttime escape-and-evasion exercise along creek and cliff trails. The group heard movement and walking above them with small rocks falling, found no one when they climbed to search, then heard heavy running footsteps and branches being swiped aside approaching them that caused the patrol to flee to a field edge. The opposing unit later said it never left base, and a next-day visit found snapped branches above head height but no tracks.

Hunters have several encounters near Ash Cave State Park

A hunting party spent a fall day along a gasline, noticing a putrid odor and a large bare footprint in the morning. In the afternoon two members heard heavy movement circling in brush, and one moved closer and watched part of a tall dark figure step from behind a tree. The observer described a seven-foot-tall heavily built figure with long arms, no visible neck, and reddish eyes. The pair left the area and discussed the sighting on the drive home.

Unidentified sound in Ohio

The witness was parked at night with three companions by a large honeysuckle bush at the woods edge. After hearing branch-breaking sounds, a companion threw a vodka bottle into the bushes and it was thrown back past them into the road. They fled by car, had to move a large branch blocking the road while smelling a foul odor and hearing movement around them, then left and avoided the area.
