Close encounter remembered and possible vocalizations heard and recorded near Minerva
The witness camped alone on pine needles above old coal mines after companions left for the night. Around 3 a.m. he awoke feeling watched to dead silence, then heard loud ape-like screams from both ends of camp at intervals. He saw a very large hairy biped cross the camp about 20 to 30 feet away and felt its steps through the ground. He walked quickly out of the camp and ran to his parents' house once clear of the woods.

Scream near Canton, Ohio
The next night the witness returned to the same camp with two companions, heard screams again around 3 a.m., recorded distorted audio, left when the screams stopped, and next morning found the cooler open, chips scattered, and bread bags pulled apart with no crumbs left.
