YourAge = 17 YourLocation = At the time, Colrain Ohio WhatDidYouReview = Ok this is not a actual sighting, but more of a series of footprints, and a possible deer kill from the creature. Me and my friend Mike were at his grandparents house, i honestly cant remember but it was either early 2007 or winter of 2006 but there was still snow, any who his grandparents own alot of land, running to the left of thier home is a creek that goes down through the woods, comes to the road and goes into a metal tube under pass, then continues across the road into the woods, well we would go down to the creek just for fun and to hang out, on the paticular day we saw some wierd impression from up on the road in the snow and mud down by the creek, we went down for a closer look and discovered to be what looked like giant human foot prints of course were smarter than that and imediatly we both realized what it was, we followed the tracks and they stared down the creek, almost coming out of the shallow watere, then walking into a part that had very little water, and thats where the tracks started in the slushy snow, and then continued down, went a bit on some exposed mude, and then disapeared as they reached the metal under pass tunnel, then we decided we should look on the other side of the creek across the road we crossed over and to our surprise more tracks unfortunatly we were a bit frieghtend so we didnt follow them up into the woods where they led but i will tell u this, right next to the tracks we found a somewhat fresh deer carcass, now i have no idea if any sightings before have been reported in south western ohio but i will tell u this i have never been more convinced in my life. Please id like to here what you think, i could possibly get you a map of the area and house, house adress, and the name of the creek if your interested........ I dont know why we didnt report this back then i guess i was to young and naive at the time but i wish i had, so that someone could have made casts of the prints, Sincerly XXXX XXXXXX, also please pardon my bad grammer :)
YourLocation = Coshocton County, Ohio WhatDidYouReview = I was out fishing in new moscow,oh, when i saw a large hairy, ape like creature staring at me intenly. when i creeped towards it to hopefully get a closer look, the creature began throwing rocks at me. it was at that time that it retreated into the brush and i never saw it again. it was large(at least 7.5 feet tall), hairy(covered from head to toe), and smelled like the shit of a cow or bull. there is no way that it it was a bear because it stood upright and unless it was Yao Ming in a gorilla costume, then there is no way it was a human being. ReviewSignature = XXXX XXXXX
hello mike,
My name is XXXXXXX XXXXX, i live in youngstown ohio. A few years ago i was hunting on public hunting grounds in southington ohio. It was around 6:30 am before sunrise. i parked my car at a local v.f.w and stood in the parking lot next to the woods to have a cigarette before i went into the woods. As i was standing there i heard a rustling in some brush about 15 feet away from me. I paid no mind to it as it was hunting season and animals were up and moving, but a few seconds after the rustling started i heard this very almost evil kind of laughing or it might have even been aggressive grunting but it was alarming enough for me to grab my shotgun, cock, and take aim, but as soon as i raised my gun it took off into the woods! I decided to wait till the dawn to break before i dared to go into the woods, i was pretty shaken up! Then around 10 o'clock in the morning i was sitting under a tree just above a small ridge when i heard this very large object move through the woods, large enough to shake to trees and i could he this object in a fast jog. That was the last time i hunted there.
I have recently watched "monster quest" on the history channel and it was about the ohio grassman. They said on the show that he was reported to be more aggressive then a sasquatch, could that have been aggressive grunting towards me that i was hearing? could i have encountered this grassman? I really haven't spoken to anyone about this outta fear of ridicule, but i've always wanted to talk to a proffesional about what i experienced and watching "monster quest" has finally made me ask that question.
I would like to hear your opinion of what you think or if you want me to give anymore details, i would greatly appreciate a responce.
YourLocation = XXXXXXX WhatDidYouReview = Me and my wife was walking an old trail down the road by the r/r tracks at 1 am and off to the side of the train track's to our left came a grunt of a deep vocal,we stopped and this animal was being surprisingly still. Me and XXXXXXX got spooked and started back the way we came and was being followed by what sounded like a person walking in the woods but it kept it's distance ,about 30yrd. from us we started at a fast walk and a loud snap like that of a half dead but crisp sapling tree sent us running.As we rounded a pond a very big dark figure of a man came out of the wood line and i caused XXXXXXX to run we got around this pond by our car and a very large rock was thrown into the water making a very deep kuplunk.We got to the car and got gone to fast to investigate.
WhatDidYouReview = It was about 1:00 am on June 21 when I just thought I would step outside to look at the night sky. When I stepped outside I walked to the right side of our house and started smoking a cigarette. I stood there for about 2 mins. and all of the sudden I heard this god awlful scream come from the field to my left. I ran back inside because it scared the crap out of me at which time my mom was on the computer and she said what is that! I said I do not know the scream went on for about 2 mins. then stopped. So the following day I decided to listen to some animal sounds on the internet at which time I came across the sound that was labeled the "Klamath Scream" that was on a bigfoot page. This sound was the exact same sound we both heard that first time. Then as the weeks went on I have had more class c,d,and e types of reports. I have found structures and have found a possible nesting area, tree snaps and lots of tree arches. No more than about twenty feet from th e nesting area, I found the last structure that was intertwined with birch bark and some type of paste that was like glue, that kept the structure together. I do have pictures of all of these finds and witnesses on the last hike we took in the woods. The estimated hike in the woods is about 3/4 of a mile to these finds. By all of the structures I have found this green runny fecies that is possible berries and other plant life mixed in it. I have been hunting since I was ten years old. I have a tracking and trapping licence since school from FFA, but hasn't been renewed. I have never heard, seen, or smelled anything like this before, and have lived here near Perry County all of my life. My question is, could this be a possible Bigfoot? I have also heard chimp noises and owl calls that went into a howl. I would appreciate your feelings on these incidents and you can reach me by my E-Mail, or my home phone number which is (XXX XXX XXXX). Thank you for your time.
WhatDidYouReview = Yesterday on July 5th my dad was walking and he looked over to his right in this wooded area and seen somthing standing in the woods about 5 feet tall. He said it was covered in hair just standing there. He was so frightened he ran home and this is a 69 year old man. Who doesn't believe it things unless he see's it for himself. This creature could be the Ohio Grassman. Please get back to me as soon as you can I would really appreciate it. You can also call me at X-XXX-XXX-XXXX. Thank You for you time. Sincerely, XXXXXXX XXXX
WhatDidYouReview = This happened in 1978 or 1979 I lived in Kent OH I was 9 or 10 yrs old I now live in CA. What I saw was something walk between my neighbors breezeway between the porch & garage. I was so dark that it almost blended into the night. It was dark and it was like in April to June I can't rememeber the month, maybe summer time cause we didn't have school. It was very tall and it eyes seemed to be glowing & yellow. I don't know what I saw but I know I saw something.
YourLocation = XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX, XXXXXXX, Ohio, Knox County WhatDidYouReview = i had an eerie feeling about the tree line acroos the XXXXXXXXXX.so i took a flash light and was shining it along the tree line. i went over it 3 times. the first 2 times i went over the tree line and it just seemed like it was a tree. but the third time it was not there. i went to my girlfriend's trailer and told her not to come out and then i got her dad. me, her dad, her brother, this other kid doug and my girlfriend went to go see. when we got over to where i saw the figure, all of the brush on the ground was pushed down and it seemed as if something walked at least a five to six foot stride in each step. there was also a part where it seemed like it was crouched down and hiding. all five of us heard sticks breaking and rustling in the bushes up on the other side of the road where we thought it was. my girlfriend's dad kept looking to see if he could see it, and her brother and the friend that was with us was flashing the flash lights all over the place . all of a sudden her dad started to run and say,"There, there!!" so we flashed the lights on the spot and i saw the creature run into the bushes and crouch down. he was a dark brown color and he was gigantic. his arm was at least twice the size of a normal guy's arm and it booked it right out of there when we got the lights on it. after we thoguht he was gone, i heard grunting and a screeching noise. as i left i heard an animal-like moan. i've never experienced anything like it before. when i experienced bigfoot, it was around 1:30 in the morning and it was on Sunday, June 29th. The section of XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX called the XXXXXXXX. These are where the XXXXXXXXX were that we were staying at.
YourLocation = cambridge oh WhatDidYouReview = i have a report of a sighting in guernsey county, i was never really sure who to tell it to till i found your site i was not the one who had it but a good friend of mines grandfather did i know hes being 100% honest because hes heard me talking about it in the past and kinda teased me about it, until last year he just came out to my friend and said tell your buddy i seen bigfoot, my friend kinda stuned asked him what? and this is what he told him he was out prarrie dog hunting that day, and keep in mind he had a 50.cal muzzle loader with a pwerful 3x9x32 scope on it he was comming out of a tree line out into a field going back to his truck,on his left only about 50 yards away is a powerline up on top of a hill, the grass around the powerpoll is grown up because you cant brushhog that close to it, and behind it is a small wooded area, and a medium size tree next to it at first he saw what he thought was someone crouched down next to the tree so he stopped when he stopped whatever was there then saw him and stood up, he said he couldnt believe what he saw he said it was about 7 foot tall,he described it to me as having "no neck" he said the hair was longer on the arms and legs then around the face and chest, he then put up his rifle to get a better look at the face, he thought it may be someone in a suit, but in his words " i was only 50 yards away and looking through the scope he said he could tell without a doubt this was no man in a suit, he thinks when he raised his gun it either scared it or it took it as a sighn of aggesion because it then started to shake the tree so violently that it was actualy knocking small limbs and leaves loose, it then reached up with one arm grabbed a limb about 4 or 5" around and snapped it off he gueses he got to watch this thing for at least 4-5 minutes at a distance of 50 yards or less before it simply just walked behind the powerpole into the small wooded area, he sat there for a few seconds trying to process what he saw then ran up the hill to try and get another look but ut was gone, and he thought that was very odd because of the size of it and it really not being to thick back there that it could just vanish like that my friend did ask him why he didnt shoot it, he said well at first he was afraid of it being a man in a suit and didnt want to kill someone, but after looking through the scope and getting a good close clear look at the face it just looked to human to kill he watched it for so long because he never felt threatned by it, or thought it wanted to harm him that is the story as told to me, if this is something you would like to look inro further im sure i could get him to tell you the story same as he did me, and i could show you the exact spot where it happed because he pointed it out to me and my friend ive known him for awhile hes trust worthy and hunted this area for years and like he said "i watched to damn thing for 5 minutes at 50 yards i may be old but im not stupid" feel free to email me with any further questions ReviewSignature = XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX
YourLocation = loudonville ohio WhatDidYouReview = to start with I just found out about your group. I worked for the state foresty division, for twenty nine years. I was mowing the trails at mohican state forest, it was in the summer of 1982 I was mowing like I said we used a john deere 1020 tractor, I looked up and down the trail at a crossing of the gas line and the forest road I saw a tall stocky figure light brown to dark in color, I didn't see anything that looked like cloths, kind of looked more like a gilly suit anyway what ever it was, crossed the width of the trail in less than three strids. I saw it enter the trees on the left side of the road and saw its head scrape a small limb, When I got down to where I saw it enter the tree line, I stood up while on the tractor and my head was just at the hieght of the little limb I had seen it standing on the tractor I was a little over 20 inches higher off the ground I am 5' 10" 1/2. so I figured what ever it was was close to if not 8' I found no foot prints and did not see what ever it was when I got to the place it crossed even though I looked I am a hunter and traced deer a lot at that time but could not find anything of what it was. Just wanted to finaly tell someone about the incedent, never knew who to tell.
YourLocation =XXXXXXX OHIO WhatDidYouReview = WE WAS FISHING ONE IN AUG AT THE RES HEAR SOME NOSIES AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RES AND THEN WE HEAR SOMETIME HIT THE TREES WITH SOMETHING THREE KNOCK EVER 5-10 MINS MY BOTHER RAN BACK TO THE CAR I WENT SO FUR DOWN TO THE NORTH SIDE BY SOME TREES AND THEIR WAS SOMETHING BIG MOVE AROUND.
YourLocation = Delaware County WhatDidYouReview = I have visual conformation as well as an arrow with blood on it. I am a predator hunter I was hunting coyote at night using a jack rabbit in distress call. I took the shot assuming it was a coyote, I was wrong. This thing pulled out the broadhead without making a peep. I think I may have found my new hunt.
YourLocation = upshur county, west virginia WhatDidYouReview = I went walking where I usually do. I found a medium size bigfoot track It was about inch and a half deep.Its the same place I spotted a group of bigfoots close to it.So they are still staying in the same area. I"m glad of that I thought they left the area because of people logging close by.
YourLocation = Youngstown, Ohio WhatDidYouReview = Hello. I am writing to report an incident that occurred at XXXXXXXXXX on Feb. 7th. I am a pro photographer and I was out hiking just shooting pictures. I met up with a friend of mine who is a deputy sheriff and was still in uniform. We were standing by our cars in the parking lot off XXXXXXX Road when another hiker walked out of the woods to his car. Then,the man name I honestly cannot remember, walked over to us. He saw my friend in his police uniform and told us, "Hey, just for your information, there's a guy in an ape suit back there." The man was 100% sure and very, very insistent on what he saw. He told us it was the best damn gorilla suit he's ever seen. When my friend pushed him for details, the man said the guy (in the ape suit) was digging on the soft shore of the creek. After a very brief minute of small talk he got into his car and left. As did we. I just thought it was odd that this guy would say that. It was cold and rainy and why would anyone be in an ape suit in that weather. The place was practically deserted as well. Thank you for your time. XX Youngstown, Ohio.
description = I was with my Grandfather at the state on land in
Coshocton County. We were looking for deer tracks and arrow heads. The
place is know to the locals as XXXXXXXXXXXX. We were crossing a large
corn field going in between the rows heading towards the XXX river
bed. We heard a russling over the river bed but figured it was just a
few does laying down for a mid afternoon nap. When we crested the
imbankment and got a clear veiw of the river we saw what my grandpa
described as a brown bear. Bear are not common to the area but a few
sitings have been reported through out the years. We tried to be as
quiet as possible to get a better look as neither one of us ever really
saw a bear before. The animal was partially blocked from our veiw with
foliage and a briar patch. I would guess we were within 75 yards or so
of the animal. At one point I smelled something like a wet dog as the
breeze was in our face. Then the animal stood up and looked right
towards u!
s but could not see us in the bushes. It almost looked like it was
trying to catch our scent. It appeared to be around 6 or 7 feet tall
and wide. I think this is why we assumed it was a bear just from the
shear size of it. My grandfather swore until the day he died is was a
brown bear. I always assumed it was just to ease my mind about the
icident. The one aspect of the story that leaves me wondering is when
the animal left. It left in a hurry. It took 6 or 7 leaps on its hind
legs and I remembering thinking to myself if that is a bear it has long
legs. Then it went into what looked like a gallop or trot on all fours
up the side of the hill leading down to the river. We did not stay long
after that as grandpa did not want to have that bear sneak up on us. I
have since been in that area on numerous occasions since then and never
saw anything like it again.

description = I was bored one day so I decided to go through the woods
for a walk. The woods are located behind my home so I have been there
many of times and it is not uncommon for me to go there for a walk.
Many people have told me that they saw a "wolfman" in the wood area. My
own uncle had even claimed to have seen it. I started to walk through
the woods upon a path there that I usually take. I got to an area where
a few friends and I had a fire a couple weeks back. I took a look around
where we had been at and started to move on. A few yards away, I noticed
footprints in the ground. They were very large but the first few were
covered in leaves from the trees. I began to follow the prints and after
awhile I got to some that were more clear than the first couple. They
were very large and much bigger than my own foot. I put my foot up to it
and the print was at least 3 times the size of my own. I continued to
follow the prints and came to an area that seemed like a possib!
le nest for a bigfoot. There were a few tree branches broken and the
weeds that were in the center of the area were flattened as if something
layed down there. I kept follwoing the prints until they lead me into a
bunch of brush and tall weeds. This tracks were very large and much
larger than my own feet were.I conclude that these tracks could be from
a possible bigfoot or "wolfman" that has been seen in my area for years.

description = I live in south georgia and I hunt alot. In 2000 me and friend of mine went hunting late one after noon. Well we was about to call it a day when a deer crossed my hunting spot. I took the shot and I hit the deer. My friend came over because it was getting late and we did'nt want lose sight of eachother. I told him where the deer went in what direction. It was cold but not frezing and I was excited about getting the deer well we went in the woods about 100 yards from where I shot the deer.We went over this little ditch and around a corner of trees because of the blood trail. Thats when we saw it. I have never been so scared in my life. My friend just stood there no saying anything. It had got to the deer I shot.The deer was dead of course but he must have smelled the blood or something. The dear was on the ground and the bigfoot or whatever was like crouched over it.It had its head in its hands and I saw where he had bit a chunck out of it. Time we turned the co!
rner when it saw us it did'nt get up it just looked at us and growled. That's all we needed to see and hear. It did'nt smell though but was was huge and very hairy. we took off and needless to say never went back.

My son who was 14 at the time was on the deck with me when we heard this mighty yell that echoed through the holler, It hollered more than once . I knew it was a bigfoot definitely. I'm a country girl and I've been in the woods most of my life, I have never heard anything like that before.I don't know if that was a warning because I seen the little ones and the younger ones.

YourLocation = XXXXXXXXXX co. ohio WhatDidYouReview = Was nite fishing in july 1978 on the banks of XXXXXXXXX. We(my buddy and I) where fishing across from the XXXXXXX in a secluded cove. Around 1 am, we heard a loud screaming sound across the lake like we had never heard before. Spooked, we just sat there by the campfire because we had walked thru the woods a long way from where our car was parked. About 1 hour later we heard it again and no sooner than after hearing it, one screamed right behind us in the woods. terrified , we turned around and shined our lite to see a huge figure just inside the treeline for a breif second and then it turned and ran and could be heard crashing thru the woods. we sat there until daylight because the path out was the same area as we had seem it. upon walking back, we observed branches and limbs 7-8 feet off the ground broken and snapped off and large footprints in 1 soft area. we contacted the game warden and talked to him. he dismissed it as a black bear we had seen while drunk!
