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.

Sighting by camper in Harrison County near Tappan Lake

The witness was walking around a cabin toward an outhouse just before dawn. About 6-7 feet beyond a makeshift counter she saw peripherally a pewter or dark gray figure moving very rapidly on two feet. She said it made a noise but had no smell. Her companion was awakened afterward and searched but found nothing.

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.
