17 January 1972 Between Rio Grande And Centerville., Gallia County, Ohio Class B #63178

A couple is escorted out of the forest after finding a possible nesting area near Rio Grande

The witness and his wife returned in late January to a rock grotto where he had earlier found a possible bedding area. They found the bed intact but an old wagon moved from a ledge with drag marks in the rock. As they hiked out through a ravine, unseen actors on both ridges followed them for about an hour with knocks, whistles and other vocalizations, shaking and snapping saplings and throwing rocks until the pair reached the woods edge. Neither reported seeing anything.
