Sisters witness a large, dark biped running through the back of their property near Chardon

Two sisters sitting in the backyard at dusk saw a very tall figure run past them at close range and continue toward a fence line, while their father heard dogs barking and came to the back but did not see the figure. The dogs chased the figure toward a barbed-wire fence then stopped and returned without any sound of impact. Years later the family reinterpreted the cape-like appearance behind the runner as possibly long hair and filed the incident as a possible Sasquatch sighting.

The operator shut off the engine to listen. The reporter later said the sound was very close to a posted Ohio Howl audio clip, except closer, and noted a companion reported knocking sounds he did not recall.
