Summary: 9 FT BF SEEN STANDING NEAR OLD BUILDING

Sighting Text:
TR 73 JAN 98. Richard Myers of Newcomerstown, OH, was next. His most interesting encounter was during the summer at the infamous location of Lick Run, OH, just north of Newcomerstown, OH. Meyers on a hot August night in 1990 spotted what he believes was a nine foot tall Bigfoot creature. “It was just standing at the side of the old building in the Iron Weed. It’s head was at the base of the down-spouting on the building. I was driving at night and saw it from a distance...it was a bush but as I approached I could see it was something that doesn’t grow there! I told Don and we went back to the area and the weeds were all smashed down where it had been.”

OH TUSCARAWAS 1992 TR#77 40 29N 081 28W * Chuck Storrie, guest at the May meeting from Ohio, passed on a few older Ohio reports (Don Keating usually runs just the newer reports that he can personally check out). In 1993, three men were coon hunting near Stone Creek in Ohio, and at a saddle in the hills only 15 yards wide, a thing let out a scream, loud in volume, and repeated it several times. They turned big flashlights on the source, apparently about 100 yards distant, but saw nothing.

Sighting Text:
* In TR#50; I ran a report and several pictures from eastern Ohio; Bob D. investigator. The pictures were of a smashed trap; a track; and a rock on a roof and broken well. It would apper that the report is a hoax; deliberately done by the family that lived in the house with the rock on the roof. Another investigator caught the family child with rocks in his pocket. Still not proof...but I have my skepticals on extremely tight; and am squinting!,

The first, “does Bigfoot occur in Ohio?” Was addressed with the retelling of the Patrick Poling Bigfoot sighting of June 1980. The four toed track on display, and originally reported by investigator Blake Matthews, were, accompanied by an interesting report. Patrick was on a tractor when at 9:30 in the evening, he saw a Bigfoot 150 feet away. It was stripping vines from blackberries and blueberries and eating them. It had drooping shoulders, was 7 or 8 foot tall, about 400 pounds, black, heavily haired, but not on the face. It had a persons face. In the area of the 7-8 minute sighting, trees were bent over near where the 17 inch tracks were found, 36 inches between tracks (toe to heel), were found the next day.

Hey Yankeesearch, didn’t even know you were in chat, now you have the bug so bad you will have to keep going out to see another one. :)
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:56 am »
Anyway, as I stand before God, I did not make this up!
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:55 am »
Not saying it was Sq/BF/DM/Yeti... but it was strange. And I am locking my doors tonight for sure! :lol:
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:54 am »
And just I was turning away, I thought I heard snort -- which could have been deer or maybe cattle... but... I do not know.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:53 am »
I did not have the creepy feeling I normally get in these situations... so I really do not know what to make of it.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:53 am »
One detail I forgot to mention: the whoop had almost a human like talk after it on both occasions.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:52 am »
I walked back to the other side, and thought I heard a knock...
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:51 am »
Cattle about 1/8th mile away disappeared... and strangely at that location: it sounded like something banged the metal fence. Not loud... but never ever heard it before tonight.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:50 am »
Two whoops... and some deer scattering (they may have been scattering because of me).
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:50 am »
From 6:20 PM to maybe 6:45 PM CST
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:49 am »
I may have just had an encounter!
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:46 am »
Hi gang! I know it has been a long time...
@ BrianDriver « Sat 12:59 pm »
Good quality pics. How long were the cams out?

Just to get the chat going, it’s going to take some time to move over all the data, but in the end, hope everyone likes the layout here.
