BFRO YEAR: 1998-00 New London, Huron County, Ohio Class B #11248

A series of sound reports, footprint finds and a sighting from a family living near New London

In mid to late summer 1999, the witness and their father were searching for ginseng in old timber south of town. They heard a very loud rumbling growling howl the witness had never heard before, which frightened them and ended their search. They heard the same sound three more times while leaving the woods, which felt like a warning that they were too close.

Year long sightings by family

The witness describes repeated nighttime visits to a rural property over about a year by a family of large hairy creatures that ate fruit, looked in trailer windows, and once bit a penned hog.

With a friend he found the man's truck with doors open and windshield and hood caved in, a destroyed campsite with scattered food and gear, and varied large footprints. Following a heavy blood smear they recovered an empty rifle and sidearm and found body parts spread over many miles, including a torso with wide claw-like gashes, before authorities arrived and news reports blamed wolves.

Sasquatch sighting in Oklahoma

At age 15 the guest was fishing alone at a creek near his father's house when he heard whoops and saw a large hairy figure behind a sycamore. He confronted it with a .22 rifle, and after it growled and roared he shot it in the throat, then in the hand, then multiple times in the chest as it screamed, broke saplings, and ran straight through a barbed-wire fence across a hay meadow. Later that day his father found broken trees, blood and hair on the sycamore, and blood and hair on the broken fence wires.
