February 2001 East Canton, Stark County, Ohio Class A #1851

Two men see see a hairy creature running into woods

The witness was driving with a friend in daylight when both reportedly saw a dark figure dart past a telephone pole into the woods. The witness described it as all black with a long torso and very long arms swinging as it ran very fast and upright. They turned back to search the woods but found nothing there.

Partial sighting
BFRO YEAR: 1970's-1980's Minerva, Stark County, Ohio Class A #8406

Encounters with a hairy creature in the same area as the well known "Minerva monster flap."

The witness was lying on the top bunk getting ready for bed at night with the window cranked open. Looking at the tilted glass reflection downward, the witness saw black hair filling the window and then a very large hand between the panes that appeared to feel the glass. The witness fled down the hall in a sleeping bag, and a relative searched outside with a gun but saw nothing.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
