Long, loud whoops heard at 2:30AM heard on southern outskirts of Wadsworth

Late at night the witness sat alone on a back patio watching a meteor shower. From a distance to the south he heard two loud whoop-like vocalizations he had never heard before. The sounds startled him and he went back inside. Shortly after the whoops, coyotes were heard briefly and then fell silent.

Woman is startled after seeing a face with yellow eyes peering into her kitchen window near Valley City

The witness was making coffee at about 3 a.m. when she saw widely spaced large yellow eyes looking through a window, with a dark width blocking the outside light and shifting side to side. She backed away and waited in the dark until daylight while a rank skunk-like odor entered the house. After daylight, she and a relative found a strong odor in the yard, vegetation matted and crushed under the window, and squirrel corn missing.

13 April 2013 Spencer, Medina County, Ohio Class B #42022

Possible nighttime encounter near Spencer leaves three men startled

Late at night three companions pulled over by an overgrown archery field to look for deer and noticed green eyeshine wide apart just above tall grass. The source of the eyes stood upright to a great height, looked toward them, then walked into the adjoining woods. After leaving, they returned for a size comparison with a 6-foot companion walking toward the treeline while the others watched from the truck; the figure reappeared, stood up and towered over the companion before leaving into the woods again.

Fall 1978 Medina, Medina County, Ohio Class B #4960

Sighting by motorists along Poe Rd

In the fall of 1978 around midnight, the witness was driving a friend home when both noticed a strange upright creature standing beside the road. The being was described as large and bear-like in stance but with a non-bear-like face, standing about six feet tall, staring at them without moving. The pair reportedly saw it clearly but told almost no one afterward, later confirming with each other that they remembered the same details.
