Hello and welcome to the program UFO Warning.
In this episode, we're talking about Bigfoot encounters and
sightings from the state of Ohio families over on bfro.net.
Really a lot of cool sightings over there.
This question was reported on Monday, December 18th, 2017.
It actually happened on June 17th 2017 It says strange
occurrences at a rural cabin near West Union Cause owner to
put it up for sale now it's happened in Adams County Ohio.
Location details are cabinets near West Union in the woods and
cannot be seen from the road and then it says specific location
details admitted due to ongoing investigation.
Nearest town West Union nearest Rd.
Ohio 247 observed. I have a small cabin built in
the woods near West Union, OH and Adams County.
We usually spend a few nights there each summer and fall.
During each visit on most nights we have heard howls and things
or animals moving around the cabin and we have found our gear
had been gone through. There is no power and we usually
sleep on the screened in porch. We never thought much of it.
The last time we were there, June 2017, all heck broke loose.
The first night we kept hearing things in the woods that sounded
like children laughing or talking.
Then at 2:00 AM we started hearing limbs breaking and
popping all around us. This lasted for about one hour.
The next night, at around 3:00 AM, we heard something in front
of us about 75 yards away near the Creek.
We listened for a bit and then something let out to howl and
scream, ran toward us, and then ran off into the woods breaking
limbs. It was pitch black and we did
not see whatever it was the next morning.
We found numerous broken and down limbs but no footprints.
The canopy is thick and the ground is covered with leaves,
plants, Moss and similar material.
We did see a lot of trails and worn down areas all around.
We found one huge tree snapped like a twig.
We have never been back. The land and cabin are now for
sale under other witnesses. It says my wife and myself Other
stories haven't heard any time and conditions around 2:00 AM
and 3:00 AM. First night was right after a
rain shower. Second night was clear, dry and
dark in the thick woods environment.
Marshland nearby, thick woods with a Creek after about 75
yards downhill in front of the cabin.
Hills and mount ridges with valleys all around.
That's wild. This this statement about
sounding like children talking, that's something we've heard
before. It's a lot of times I'll talk
about these kind of indecipherable languages.
It's almost like they're speaking back and forth.
Now it's this follow up investigation report with BFRO
investigator Johnny Walker. While speaking to the cabin
owner, it was quite obvious by his voice that the events of
that night affected him greatly. Reliving the experiences he told
me of the happenings that weekend was clearly emotional
for him. To hear things out in the woods
is one thing, to hear something drag a tree branch along the
side of your cabin late at night is another.
The second night was worse, he said.
The little girls talking and giggling sounds from the first
night gave way to growls, howls and at one point a high pitched
scream which made my blood run cold.
Being set on a slight hill, the cabin sets on 4 by 4 post on the
port side. Looking out over the yard.
The footfalls of whatever came running up the hill must have
been really heavy because we felt each stomp through the
porch floor, he said. Then as it ran off to the right,
I heard the snap of a tree breaking as loud as a shotgun
going off. I filmed the investigation of
the property was intent on finding the tree or limb that
had been broken. After about 20 minutes of
searching, I found the limb. It was indeed approximately 4
1/2 to 5 inches in thickness and had broken in such a way that
about 1/3 to 1/4 of the limb remained attached to the main
trunk, allowing part of it to remain alive.
Being able to reach the break with my fingers told me it was
about 7 feet off the ground. I gave the limb A thorough
examination and saw no evidence of human made damage.
Most of the limb had a split snapped appearance to the wood
and the rest of the limb and branches or no rub marks that
would indicate a rope or cable had been used to break it down.
The limb had broken where it met the main trunk, but not all the
way through. Although I'm no arborist, I
determined that the broken limb was not the result of storm
damage based on the fact that it was the only limb broken on the
tree or any trees in the shrouding area.
Something else that was completely strange was finding 3
squarish holes dug in a row in the middle of the woods.
The cabin owner had no knowledge of their existence.
Also were found deer hair, a jawbone, a skull, and small
pieces of other bones. The hair was approximately 30
feet from the limb, the skull and small bones were about 10 to
12 feet away, and the jawbone was a mere 5 feet from the base
of the tree. Around the first weekend of this
past May, the cabin owner's father-in-law stayed the night
at the cabin and later reported to the owner that he heard howls
and screams that sounded like they came from down around the
Creek area. Man, that sounds just wild,
doesn't it? And then it says about BFO
investigator Johnny Walker. John Walker is an avid
outdoorsman and hunter who works in the surveillance field.
He has hiked across several U.S. National parks and a few
Manitoba provincial parks. He has seen and heard evidence
of Sasquatches and attended the 2017 and 2018 Kentucky
expeditions. That is really an amazing
encounter there. I mean, just can't imagine being
out in the woods like that hearing these really wild
noises. Then the cool thing is that they
sent the investigator back out. He finds this tree branch.
Now think about that 4 to 5 inches around size of your
ankle. At least, you know, And it's
just been kind of mostly torn off this off this tree 7 feet up
in the air. I mean, explain that this is
some really weird stuff. This next sighting happened on
June. It says 2009 doesn't give an
exact date other than they think it was a Saturday.
Another one from Adams County says possible daytime and
nighttime encounter by campers West of Alexander Solomon
Airport. Location details.
I can take you there and my friend Steve is familiar with
the area. I am not nearest town Peebles
nearest Rd. US 32.
I was with my son, a friend, his son, and a friend of his son at
his family's camp in Adams County, Ohio.
During the day, the kids kept saying they were seeing
something with yellow eyes, but my friend Steve and I never saw
it. It was summertime, and the camp
borders a nature preserve. My friend Steve and his son hunt
deer there every year. That night, my son and I slept
in our tent while Steve and the two boys slept in his van.
In the early morning hours, I got up, opened the tent flap,
stepped out front and relieved myself.
As I was doing this, directly in front of me, about 10 to 15 feet
away, I heard a series of grunts.
I panicked, finished quickly and got back into the tent,
listening in fear. While lying there, I could hear
something walking closer and moving near the car.
I heard the car being bumped followed by a grunt and the tent
was brushed followed by another grunt and a sniff before
whatever it was walked away. I really didn't consider it
being a Bigfoot until I later saw your show about Ohio in that
region. I would love to invite you to
the site to camp there and spread out in the woods to look
for him or her. Steve and I may go back soon
once the weather gets warmer. I'm not asking to be on the
show, we would just like to investigate and have you join us
for a private search for evidence.
It is a very extensive forested area with streams in a small
pond and there are lots of deer. It says also notice nothing
other witnesses the kids kept seeing the yellow eyes during
the day. I was the only one who heard the
noises. That's that's pretty wild.
It says Time and conditions at 3:00 AM.
Clear conditions with temperatures in the 60s.
Environment very wooded, sparsely populated area
bordering a nature preserve. And follow up investigation by
BFRO investigator Steve Nystrom. Well, on a weekend camping trip
to his friend's property in the June 2009, the primary witness
and his fellow adult camper told repeatedly by their sons and
another boy that they had seen a dark colored animal with yellow
eyes staring at them while attempting to hide behind a tree
on the adjacent hill across from their campsite.
Both adult witnesses became concerned by the repeated
sightings, fearing that what the boys were seeing would be a
Mountain Lion, Black Panther, or black bear.
In addition to the dark collar and yellow eyes, the boys noted
that it appeared to be deliberately hiding by staying
low to the ground behind trees on the nearby hill while
attempting to observe them. While investigating what the
boys had seen, the witness and his adult never visually
observed the animal. However, while checking the
area, they heard something large walking through the woods and on
the hill where the boys had earlier reported seeing
something. That evening, while the witness
and his son slept in a tent and his adult friend and the other
two boys slept in a van, the witness went outside to relieve
himself around 3:00 AM. While outside the tent, he heard
loud grunting noises approximately 15 to 20 feet
away. He believed the animal was near
the road just outside their campsite, watching him.
Startled, he quickly finished and returned to his tent.
After a few minutes, the witness heard something walking
bipedally into their campsite near his car a few feet from the
tent. While grunting and sniffing, he
then heard the car being bumped or pushed.
Not knowing what was outside, the witness said hey.
At which point the animal walked from the car to the tent where
he and his son were sleeping. It then walked along the side of
the tent, brushing what the witness felt was a hand against
the nylon wall, briefly grunting and sniffing as it moved.
The witness stated that the animal then left the campsite,
possibly heading back into the state nature preserve.
The witness remained awake for approximately 45 minutes,
thinking about what had occurred before falling back to sleep.
No one else woke up during the incident, although his son
briefly stirred when the witness called out.
I met with a witness for approximately 90 minutes on
April 9th, 2012 to obtain details of his possible
Sasquatch encounter. The witness was a down to earth,
matter of fact individual who served in the US Navy as a
weapons technician aboard the Ohio class Trident nuclear
submarine during the Cold War in the 1980s.
He is currently employed as a compliance officer with a
mortgage company in Ohio. I believe the witness to be very
credible. I guess so when it says about
BFR investigator Steve Nystrom. Steve Nystrom is an active
member of the BFRO and enjoys investigating reports of
Sasquatch encounters and vocalizations throughout the
Midwest. He is a senior analyst with the
National Geospatial Intelligence Agency.
WOW and has held numerous leadership, staff and analyst
positions throughout his career, including deployments to Iraq
and O 8 and 2010. He is a graduate of US Army's
Command and General Staff College and is attending the US
Army's School of Advanced Military Studies.
Pretty impressive. Yeah.
Also really interesting account. Yeah.
Spooky stuff. This next encounter happened, it
says between 97 and 98. Not sure which year but it was
in the winter time in December. Think around the end of the
month, possibly December 30th it says.
Adams County, Ohio Location details The nearest town shown
on a map is West Union. Would actually live about 8 to
10 miles east of there off Route 125 in Brush Creek Township in
the community known as Lynx. Nearest town West Union, nearest
Rd. Toby Lewis Rd. observed the
sighting occurred around 10:00 PM at night.
We live in a very rural area of Adams County, Ohio and have a
house on 60 heavily wooded acres.
My wife was sitting and watching television as we all wore.
We have a back window near the TV about 10 feet from where we
sat. My wife suddenly said there were
two eyes staring at her through the window.
At first I thought she was joking, but she was not.
I got up and went to the window. It was closed because it was
cold outside. I opened it but could not see or
hear anything due to the darkness.
At about the same time my wife said she saw the eyes, my oldest
son was getting up to go outside onto our front screen porch.
As I was at the window, my son had just gone out the sliding
glass door to the porch and was lighting a cigarette.
As I turned away from the window, my son opened the door
and began yelling for me while pointing toward the separate
garage building next to our house.
He dropped his cigarette and stood there looking for a few
seconds, then quickly came into the house saying that he had
just seen a big hairy thing looking around the corner of the
garage in his direction. This got us all excited and
somewhat scared. I had recently had knee surgery
so I did not go outside to investigate.
I did, however, get a gun and load it.
I went on to the porch, but I did not hear or see anything.
I was convinced that my wife and son had seen the same thing is
it could have walked across the back of the house and garage and
come around the corner within that time frame.
My wife described the eyes as very close together, glowing
green in color and larger than human eyes.
My son described the creature as very dark in color with very
long hair hanging down over his face.
He could not make out any facial features.
Our deck slash porch is about four feet off the ground while
the garage sets at ground level. Based on my son's description,
the height of the head in relation to the basketball hoop
mounted on the front of the garage, the creature appeared to
be in the 7 to 8 foot tall range.
The next day I went outside looking for any signs.
I found nothing near the window or behind the house and garage.
At the corner. I walked across a grassy field
that extends from the side of the garage and found what
appeared to be a faint impression of a very large foot
in a hard clay and sand non grassy area.
I measured and copied the imprint as the best I could and
recorded in notebook, which I still have somewhere.
I recall it being about 16 inches long and approximately 10
to 12 inches wide across the top.
The impression showed weight bearing areas with a large arch
that left no impression. The toes appeared small and left
similar impressions. The sighting occurred in late
December around 10:00 PM and I believe the year was either 1997
or 98. About a year or so before the
sighting, while standing on the rear deck porch of our master
bedroom late at night, I heard a strange howling sound off in the
distance. It sounded like it came from
near the top of the Ridge about 1/4 mile up the hill behind her
house. I do not believe it was a Kaya
or a dog. Other witnesses 2 witnesses It
says my wife and my son. I observed the footprint
impressions on the next day and heard the howling sound.
Previously, my wife and son were watching television in the
living room at the time of the sighting.
Other stories No. I mentioned it to neighbors but
they did not report anything. Time and conditions around 10:00
PM, Weather was clear and cold but not but above freezing
environment Very wooded and hilly terrain.
And then for the follow up investigation, it says.
I spoke with the son who saw the animal.
He described it as a big, hairy thing.
His impression was that the animal was standing upright as a
human would, that it was very tall, and that it was peeking at
him from behind the family garage.
The sighting occurred at night, but a yard light was on and
provided illumination. The witness saw what he believed
to be the head and shoulders of the animal as it leaned out from
behind the building. He was unable to make out any
facial features and could not be certain that the animal was
facing him, but the peaking behavior made him believe it
was. He described the head as round
and thought the animal was covered with hair.
The sighting frightened the witness and he immediately
retreated into the house so he did not see the animal leave.
The witness was certain that what he saw was not a bear.
He stated he had never seen bears in the area, but the very
tall, upright posture was unlike a bear, and it simply did not
resemble one. At the time the sighting, the
witness did not know what he was saying.
That unknown quality appeared to be what made the experience so
frightening. Only afterward, when the family
discussed the event, did they conclude it may have been a
Bigfoot. The witness is now a serviceman.
He appeared absolutely truthful, and I have no doubt that his
experience was real. Yeah, you know, they do get some
great witnesses here. The fact that they send these
investigators in to do the follow up really makes the
accounts, I think, so much more believable.
We'll go ahead and do one last one here.
This last thing that we're looking at is dated August 18th,
2020, Ashland County. It says camper family makes
official report of their Sasquatch encounter at Pleasant
Hill Lake Park adjacent to the Mohican State Park.
Location details. Pleasant Hill Lake Park, 3431
State Road 95, Prairieville, Ohio, goes on down here.
It says nearest town Perry Perrysville, nearest road SR-95
observed. This report was taken from an
official MWCD that's Muskegon Watershed Conservancy District
Park Ranger Incident Call record report number CL21-010216.
Field notes were filed on August 18th, 2020 at 2250 hours by
Pleasant Hill Lake Park Ranger McClellan, number 915.
On August 18th, 2020, at 2250 hours, the Ashland County
Sheriff's Office received a 911 call reporting unknown subjects
throwing items at a family from the woods at the primitive camp
area of Pleasant Hill Lake Park in Ashland County, Ohio.
Park Ranger McClellan was dispatched and arrived shortly
thereafter at campsite number 417 where he met with the
caller, Faith Steele and her family, consisting of her
husband and two children. The witness advised that someone
in the woods behind their campsite was throwing sticks or
rocks at them and around their tent.
Due to the darkness, the witness could not see who was throwing
the objects. The husband stated that he
initially thought it might be children playing in the woods.
However, when he yelled into the woods, he did not hear any
voices or noises indicating children, leading him to believe
it was not kids. The witness stated that a few
minutes later, they heard strange, loud, and unusual
noises coming from the woods. At that point, the father
directed his young children to go into the tent.
Well, he stood outside holding a small pocket knife, just in
case. A few minutes later, the witness
reported hearing a loud bang or knock, as if someone had struck
the side of the nearby wooden outhouse restroom located on the
opposite side of the primitive camp area.
When they turned and looked in that direction, they observed
something run into the woods. The witness described what he
saw as a tall, dark, hairy figure that ran and disappeared
into the forest. The witness stated that the
first thing he thought of upon seeing it was a Bigfoot.
Park Ranger McClellan checked the surrounding area but was
unable to locate anyone in the woods and did not observe any
damage to the outhouse structure.
The family was the only group camping in that section of
Pleasant Hill Lake Park at the time.
No further investigation was warranted at that time.
Other Witnesses 4 witnesses mother, father and two children
camping alone in the primitive area of Pleasant Hill Lake Park.
Other Stories Yes, three additional incidents have
occurred at Mohican State Park. Other Ashland County sightings
were reported on April 24th, 2021 and June 9th, 2021.
Time and conditions Nighttime dark with very low light.
Any densely wooded area environment.
Mature hardwood forest with sun pine located along a stream and
hill Ridge within a park. And this is follow up
investigation by BFO Investigator Matthew Moneymaker.
This incident definitely happened.
There were multiple witnesses and they were clearly
frightened, prompting them to call the Sheriff's Office.
There were no other people camping in that remote permitted
section of the park. The father clearly believed the
encounter involved a Sasquatch. The type of camp harassment
described is not uncommon and has been reported in many parts
of North America. In this case, it occurred near a
densely wooded garage where various BFRO investigators,
including myself, have encountered or hurt Sasquatch
over the years. The surrounding areas.
One of the historical hotspots of Sasquatch sightings in Ohio.
This official report is is a historical first.
As far as I know, it marks the first time a sighting report of
a probable Sasquatch was taken by a park Ranger and then
approved for public posting alongside other Sasquatch
sighting reports from the area. It took time to move through the
approval process, but the park ultimately requested that the
BRFL posted. This official signing report was
provided by managers of Pleasant Hill Lake Park, which is part of
the Muskegon Watershed Conservancy District MWCDA
political subdivision of State of Ohio.
Ohio is clearly the leading state in the United States in
terms of officially acknowledging the potential
existence of Sasquatch's. This recognition extends beyond
this single prior and report and beyond Salt Fork State Parks
annual hosting of the Ohio Bigfoot Conference, which
inspired similar events in other states.
More importantly, it includes the open interest of the Ohio
Department of Natural Resources, which has not hesitated to
suggest that sasquatches may be real animals residing within the
state. Visitors can view the official
Ohio DNR YouTube channel and sort videos by Most Popular to
see how prominently Bigfoot related content ranks compared
to other topics. While the videos may be modest
in production, their significance lies in the fact
that an official government agency is openly discussing
Bigfoot, teaching U.S. history, and conducting serious field
investigations. No other state DNR is doing
this. Pleasant Hill Lake Park is
taking things a step further. At September 2022, after
requesting BFO assistance, the park agreed to host a weekend
event coordinated by the BFRO, during which thermal drones will
be flown over the park land and the neighboring Mohican Memorial
State Forest, a known hotspot for Sasquatch sightings and
sounds, to survey for large mammal targets such as coyote,
deer, possibly Sasquatch's ground spotters equipped with
handheld thermal images will assist.
The operation will be highly organized and conducted across a
large government controlled area.
Live resolution thermal video from the drones will be
protected onto large screens at the Mohican Lodge Conference
Center on Friday night at the event dates to be announced,
followed by a larger public viewing near Pleasant Hill Lake
Welcome Center the following night.
That's wild. Then it goes on, continues
talking a little bit about the sighting, about doing this
investigation. Yeah, what a cool sighting after
this primitive camp area and all of a sudden you hear this thing
tossing rocks at your tent. Very, very cool stuff.
Well, if you like the program, don't forget to like, follow,
subscribe. Doesn't cost a dime.
Until next time. This is UFO warning over and
out.
