Strange occurrences outside a home lead to a daylight sighting by a father and son near East Canton

After hearing growls on two prior nights, the witness went with his son on a Friday afternoon to explore the tree line, field, and creeks southeast of the house. During the outing they noticed movement, a foul odor of rotten eggs and flesh, and then watched a large hairy biped standing about 100 feet away swaying and staring toward them. They left without running and heard two loud tree knocks after reaching the yard.

A series of sightings, screams, and smells near an abandoned strip mine

Around 3 AM on a clear summer night the witness was at home when a relative came to the back door after being outside. The dog hid and whimpered and a foul odor was present. Both then watched a huge hairy biped about seven to eight feet tall walk slumped over out of the moonlit woods and through a neighboring yard.
