Fishermen describe nightime encounter at Clendening Lake near Buckeye Trail
Two people were fishing at night by a creek feeding into a lake when they heard loud man-like screams from several directions and distances. After one scream was mimicked and answered from farther away, they heard splashes and rocks landing in the water around them. They put out their fire, shouted a warning, then retreated to their truck as another rock landed nearby and left.
Multiple encounters near an old strip mine just outside of Harrisville
The witness and a companion camped beside a strip pond after fishing and cooking. Around 4 a.m. the witness awoke to heavy footsteps coming down a steep high wall to the tent, followed by heavy breathing and a throat-clear that mimicked his own. He shouted that he had a gun while his companion remained asleep, then heard the visitor drink from the water with its hands, sit briefly by the tent, and climb back up. The next morning they found 18-inch tracks at the edge of the reeds.
Two fisherman hear commotion of a roaring animal on brushy bank of Clendening Lake
The witness was fishing from a boat near shore while a companion napped on board. The witness heard footsteps in water, loud roars, splashing, and an animal squealing but saw nothing because shoreline vegetation was very dense. Frightened, the witness moved away quietly and woke the companion, who heard part of the sounds as they left. At the marina a worker said a news crew had previously covered a Bigfoot report at the lake, which led the witness to consider that explanation.
