In mid to late summer 1999, the witness and their father were searching for ginseng in old timber south of town.

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.
