Possible sighting and casting of a print near Hosak's Cave in Salt Fork State Park

The witness was driving to work through the park in the morning when she saw a large hairy brown figure standing on the roadside berm before it moved into the brush. The encounter lasted about 10 seconds and she did not see its face. Later that day she returned with her daughter and found a footprint, which investigators later documented and cast.

Sighting of two animals walking a ridge line in Salt Fork State Park

The witness, a vendor at a weekend event in a state park, went out early the next morning to check the spot where a fisherman claimed an encounter. While walking a trail at sunrise, the witness heard talking-like sounds from a ridge and then saw two large black hairy figures. The figures walked quickly away along the ridge and into brush despite attempts to follow, and the witness took a cell-phone photo of one looking back.

Man has an early morning sighting near Pleasant City

Early one summer morning the witness looked out a home window before work and noticed a very large black figure moving through crab-apple trees and brush behind the house. A second, smaller black figure then moved through the same area, shaking vegetation as it ran. The larger figure stopped in thick brush and stared toward the witness at the window for less than a minute before looking toward the dog kennel and walking uphill out of sight. Fruit the witness had discarded in the yard the night before was gone the next day.
