Father and son record possible vocalizations at Kendall Lake in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park

They received a very long whoop-like response described as scary and scream-like from southeast of the gate. The witness compared it to a previously heard recording from Ohio in the 1990s.

Witness describes possible vocalization near Bath

Late at night the witness was unloading music gear from a truck in the garage when a loud distant scream-like roar was heard twice. The sound was very clear in the quiet night and was estimated at half a mile to a mile away. The witness said it resembled a known Ohio howl recording, did not match any familiar animal, and made the witness want to go inside.

Motorist sees hairy biped crossing road by Cuyahoga Valley National Park

The witness was driving east on Sagamore Road on a hot late morning. A dark brown or black figure emerged from the right and crossed the road and adjacent open area in three strides before disappearing. The witness noted its forearms held high, a silver-gray flash near the forearm and head, a stocky build, and height well over six feet. The witness concluded it was not a jogger because of its dark coloration in heat, inhuman speed, stride length, and thicker arms.
