Possible track found and cast off a trail near Hocking River

A couple hiking in a wooded nature preserve stepped aside for other hikers and noticed a large footprint off the trail. They photographed it and continued on. A short distance farther they found a small tree freshly broken in half and bent down, which they found odd given its proximity to the print.

Hunters have several encounters near Ash Cave State Park

A hunting party spent a fall day along a gasline, noticing a putrid odor and a large bare footprint in the morning. In the afternoon two members heard heavy movement circling in brush, and one moved closer and watched part of a tall dark figure step from behind a tree. The observer described a seven-foot-tall heavily built figure with long arms, no visible neck, and reddish eyes. The pair left the area and discussed the sighting on the drive home.
