00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,240
Hello and welcome to the program
UFO Warning. 

2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,880
In this episode, we're talking 
about Bigfoot encounters and 

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:14,480
sightings from the state of Ohio
families over on bfro.net. 

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,000
Really a lot of cool sightings 
over there. 

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,240
This question was reported on 
Monday, December 18th, 2017. 

6
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,440
It actually happened on June 
17th 2017 It says strange 

7
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,840
occurrences at a rural cabin 
near West Union Cause owner to 

8
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,440
put it up for sale now it's 
happened in Adams County Ohio. 

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,920
Location details are cabinets 
near West Union in the woods and

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,800
cannot be seen from the road and
then it says specific location 

11
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,560
details admitted due to ongoing 
investigation. 

12
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,600
Nearest town West Union nearest 
Rd. 

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,520
Ohio 247 observed. 
I have a small cabin built in 

14
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,640
the woods near West Union, OH 
and Adams County. 

15
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,040
We usually spend a few nights 
there each summer and fall. 

16
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:03,040
During each visit on most nights
we have heard howls and things 

17
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,560
or animals moving around the 
cabin and we have found our gear

18
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,520
had been gone through. 
There is no power and we usually

19
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:14,680
sleep on the screened in porch. 
We never thought much of it. 

20
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:19,680
The last time we were there, 
June 2017, all heck broke loose.

21
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,880
The first night we kept hearing 
things in the woods that sounded

22
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,560
like children laughing or 
talking. 

23
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,760
Then at 2:00 AM we started 
hearing limbs breaking and 

24
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,040
popping all around us. 
This lasted for about one hour. 

25
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,520
The next night, at around 3:00 
AM, we heard something in front 

26
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,840
of us about 75 yards away near 
the Creek. 

27
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,160
We listened for a bit and then 
something let out to howl and 

28
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,920
scream, ran toward us, and then 
ran off into the woods breaking 

29
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,480
limbs. 
It was pitch black and we did 

30
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,880
not see whatever it was the next
morning. 

31
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,840
We found numerous broken and 
down limbs but no footprints. 

32
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,640
The canopy is thick and the 
ground is covered with leaves, 

33
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,200
plants, Moss and similar 
material. 

34
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,560
We did see a lot of trails and 
worn down areas all around. 

35
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,360
We found one huge tree snapped 
like a twig. 

36
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,920
We have never been back. 
The land and cabin are now for 

37
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:24,200
sale under other witnesses. 
It says my wife and myself Other

38
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,640
stories haven't heard any time 
and conditions around 2:00 AM 

39
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:30,240
and 3:00 AM. 
First night was right after a 

40
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,040
rain shower. 
Second night was clear, dry and 

41
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,880
dark in the thick woods 
environment. 

42
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,480
Marshland nearby, thick woods 
with a Creek after about 75 

43
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,640
yards downhill in front of the 
cabin. 

44
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,320
Hills and mount ridges with 
valleys all around. 

45
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,240
That's wild. 
This this statement about 

46
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,600
sounding like children talking, 
that's something we've heard 

47
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,560
before. 
It's a lot of times I'll talk 

48
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,320
about these kind of 
indecipherable languages. 

49
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,240
It's almost like they're 
speaking back and forth. 

50
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,200
Now it's this follow up 
investigation report with BFRO 

51
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,600
investigator Johnny Walker. 
While speaking to the cabin 

52
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,040
owner, it was quite obvious by 
his voice that the events of 

53
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,960
that night affected him greatly.
Reliving the experiences he told

54
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,920
me of the happenings that 
weekend was clearly emotional 

55
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:20,480
for him. 
To hear things out in the woods 

56
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,960
is one thing, to hear something 
drag a tree branch along the 

57
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,240
side of your cabin late at night
is another. 

58
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,720
The second night was worse, he 
said. 

59
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,720
The little girls talking and 
giggling sounds from the first 

60
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,440
night gave way to growls, howls 
and at one point a high pitched 

61
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,240
scream which made my blood run 
cold. 

62
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,440
Being set on a slight hill, the 
cabin sets on 4 by 4 post on the

63
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,840
port side. 
Looking out over the yard. 

64
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,600
The footfalls of whatever came 
running up the hill must have 

65
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,920
been really heavy because we 
felt each stomp through the 

66
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,920
porch floor, he said. 
Then as it ran off to the right,

67
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,360
I heard the snap of a tree 
breaking as loud as a shotgun 

68
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,240
going off. 
I filmed the investigation of 

69
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,880
the property was intent on 
finding the tree or limb that 

70
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,640
had been broken. 
After about 20 minutes of 

71
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,200
searching, I found the limb. 
It was indeed approximately 4 

72
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:20,360
1/2 to 5 inches in thickness and
had broken in such a way that 

73
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,800
about 1/3 to 1/4 of the limb 
remained attached to the main 

74
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,520
trunk, allowing part of it to 
remain alive. 

75
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,200
Being able to reach the break 
with my fingers told me it was 

76
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,080
about 7 feet off the ground. 
I gave the limb A thorough 

77
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,400
examination and saw no evidence 
of human made damage. 

78
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,880
Most of the limb had a split 
snapped appearance to the wood 

79
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,720
and the rest of the limb and 
branches or no rub marks that 

80
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,160
would indicate a rope or cable 
had been used to break it down. 

81
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,960
The limb had broken where it met
the main trunk, but not all the 

82
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,840
way through. 
Although I'm no arborist, I 

83
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:02,200
determined that the broken limb 
was not the result of storm 

84
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,280
damage based on the fact that it
was the only limb broken on the 

85
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:09,360
tree or any trees in the 
shrouding area. 

86
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:14,400
Something else that was 
completely strange was finding 3

87
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,000
squarish holes dug in a row in 
the middle of the woods. 

88
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,480
The cabin owner had no knowledge
of their existence. 

89
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,520
Also were found deer hair, a 
jawbone, a skull, and small 

90
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,320
pieces of other bones. 
The hair was approximately 30 

91
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,760
feet from the limb, the skull 
and small bones were about 10 to

92
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,280
12 feet away, and the jawbone 
was a mere 5 feet from the base 

93
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:42,760
of the tree. 
Around the first weekend of this

94
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,920
past May, the cabin owner's 
father-in-law stayed the night 

95
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,760
at the cabin and later reported 
to the owner that he heard howls

96
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,000
and screams that sounded like 
they came from down around the 

97
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,920
Creek area. 
Man, that sounds just wild, 

98
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,840
doesn't it? 
And then it says about BFO 

99
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:03,080
investigator Johnny Walker. 
John Walker is an avid 

100
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,320
outdoorsman and hunter who works
in the surveillance field. 

101
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,280
He has hiked across several U.S.
National parks and a few 

102
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,080
Manitoba provincial parks. 
He has seen and heard evidence 

103
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:19,520
of Sasquatches and attended the 
2017 and 2018 Kentucky 

104
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,400
expeditions. 
That is really an amazing 

105
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,440
encounter there. 
I mean, just can't imagine being

106
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,360
out in the woods like that 
hearing these really wild 

107
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,280
noises. 
Then the cool thing is that they

108
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:34,320
sent the investigator back out. 
He finds this tree branch. 

109
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,240
Now think about that 4 to 5 
inches around size of your 

110
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,360
ankle. 
At least, you know, And it's 

111
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:46,480
just been kind of mostly torn 
off this off this tree 7 feet up

112
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,480
in the air. 
I mean, explain that this is 

113
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:54,360
some really weird stuff. 
This next sighting happened on 

114
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,160
June. 
It says 2009 doesn't give an 

115
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,240
exact date other than they think
it was a Saturday. 

116
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,040
Another one from Adams County 
says possible daytime and 

117
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,600
nighttime encounter by campers 
West of Alexander Solomon 

118
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,320
Airport. 
Location details. 

119
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,600
I can take you there and my 
friend Steve is familiar with 

120
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,360
the area. 
I am not nearest town Peebles 

121
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,880
nearest Rd. 
US 32. 

122
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,480
I was with my son, a friend, his
son, and a friend of his son at 

123
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,960
his family's camp in Adams 
County, Ohio. 

124
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,040
During the day, the kids kept 
saying they were seeing 

125
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,560
something with yellow eyes, but 
my friend Steve and I never saw 

126
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,040
it. 
It was summertime, and the camp 

127
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,000
borders a nature preserve. 
My friend Steve and his son hunt

128
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,160
deer there every year. 
That night, my son and I slept 

129
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,600
in our tent while Steve and the 
two boys slept in his van. 

130
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,360
In the early morning hours, I 
got up, opened the tent flap, 

131
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,920
stepped out front and relieved 
myself. 

132
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,040
As I was doing this, directly in
front of me, about 10 to 15 feet

133
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,400
away, I heard a series of 
grunts. 

134
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,960
I panicked, finished quickly and
got back into the tent, 

135
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,600
listening in fear. 
While lying there, I could hear 

136
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,920
something walking closer and 
moving near the car. 

137
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,520
I heard the car being bumped 
followed by a grunt and the tent

138
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,920
was brushed followed by another 
grunt and a sniff before 

139
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,440
whatever it was walked away. 
I really didn't consider it 

140
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,960
being a Bigfoot until I later 
saw your show about Ohio in that

141
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,040
region. 
I would love to invite you to 

142
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,520
the site to camp there and 
spread out in the woods to look 

143
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,480
for him or her. 
Steve and I may go back soon 

144
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,600
once the weather gets warmer. 
I'm not asking to be on the 

145
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,480
show, we would just like to 
investigate and have you join us

146
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,880
for a private search for 
evidence. 

147
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,920
It is a very extensive forested 
area with streams in a small 

148
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,680
pond and there are lots of deer.
It says also notice nothing 

149
00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:52,920
other witnesses the kids kept 
seeing the yellow eyes during 

150
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,680
the day. 
I was the only one who heard the

151
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:58,480
noises. 
That's that's pretty wild. 

152
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,000
It says Time and conditions at 
3:00 AM. 

153
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,320
Clear conditions with 
temperatures in the 60s. 

154
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:06,840
Environment very wooded, 
sparsely populated area 

155
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,360
bordering a nature preserve. 
And follow up investigation by 

156
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:16,000
BFRO investigator Steve Nystrom.
Well, on a weekend camping trip 

157
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,600
to his friend's property in the 
June 2009, the primary witness 

158
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,840
and his fellow adult camper told
repeatedly by their sons and 

159
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,040
another boy that they had seen a
dark colored animal with yellow 

160
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,760
eyes staring at them while 
attempting to hide behind a tree

161
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,360
on the adjacent hill across from
their campsite. 

162
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,520
Both adult witnesses became 
concerned by the repeated 

163
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,960
sightings, fearing that what the
boys were seeing would be a 

164
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,720
Mountain Lion, Black Panther, or
black bear. 

165
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,520
In addition to the dark collar 
and yellow eyes, the boys noted 

166
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,080
that it appeared to be 
deliberately hiding by staying 

167
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,720
low to the ground behind trees 
on the nearby hill while 

168
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,960
attempting to observe them. 
While investigating what the 

169
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,640
boys had seen, the witness and 
his adult never visually 

170
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,600
observed the animal. 
However, while checking the 

171
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,560
area, they heard something large
walking through the woods and on

172
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:16,040
the hill where the boys had 
earlier reported seeing 

173
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,600
something. 
That evening, while the witness 

174
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,280
and his son slept in a tent and 
his adult friend and the other 

175
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,640
two boys slept in a van, the 
witness went outside to relieve 

176
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,120
himself around 3:00 AM. 
While outside the tent, he heard

177
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,640
loud grunting noises 
approximately 15 to 20 feet 

178
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,440
away. 
He believed the animal was near 

179
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,680
the road just outside their 
campsite, watching him. 

180
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,320
Startled, he quickly finished 
and returned to his tent. 

181
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,920
After a few minutes, the witness
heard something walking 

182
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:51,080
bipedally into their campsite 
near his car a few feet from the

183
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,880
tent. 
While grunting and sniffing, he 

184
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,840
then heard the car being bumped 
or pushed. 

185
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,640
Not knowing what was outside, 
the witness said hey. 

186
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,320
At which point the animal walked
from the car to the tent where 

187
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:07,080
he and his son were sleeping. 
It then walked along the side of

188
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,040
the tent, brushing what the 
witness felt was a hand against 

189
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,360
the nylon wall, briefly grunting
and sniffing as it moved. 

190
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,080
The witness stated that the 
animal then left the campsite, 

191
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,440
possibly heading back into the 
state nature preserve. 

192
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,640
The witness remained awake for 
approximately 45 minutes, 

193
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,360
thinking about what had occurred
before falling back to sleep. 

194
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,600
No one else woke up during the 
incident, although his son 

195
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,280
briefly stirred when the witness
called out. 

196
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,560
I met with a witness for 
approximately 90 minutes on 

197
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:42,160
April 9th, 2012 to obtain 
details of his possible 

198
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,640
Sasquatch encounter. 
The witness was a down to earth,

199
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,920
matter of fact individual who 
served in the US Navy as a 

200
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,880
weapons technician aboard the 
Ohio class Trident nuclear 

201
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,400
submarine during the Cold War in
the 1980s. 

202
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,680
He is currently employed as a 
compliance officer with a 

203
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:01,960
mortgage company in Ohio. 
I believe the witness to be very

204
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,880
credible. 
I guess so when it says about 

205
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,760
BFR investigator Steve Nystrom. 
Steve Nystrom is an active 

206
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,640
member of the BFRO and enjoys 
investigating reports of 

207
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,680
Sasquatch encounters and 
vocalizations throughout the 

208
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:19,560
Midwest. 
He is a senior analyst with the 

209
00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:22,400
National Geospatial Intelligence
Agency. 

210
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,120
WOW and has held numerous 
leadership, staff and analyst 

211
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,560
positions throughout his career,
including deployments to Iraq 

212
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:34,400
and O 8 and 2010. 
He is a graduate of US Army's 

213
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,040
Command and General Staff 
College and is attending the US 

214
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,600
Army's School of Advanced 
Military Studies. 

215
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,080
Pretty impressive. 
Yeah. 

216
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,240
Also really interesting account.
Yeah. 

217
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:52,520
Spooky stuff. 
This next encounter happened, it

218
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,080
says between 97 and 98. 
Not sure which year but it was 

219
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,560
in the winter time in December. 
Think around the end of the 

220
00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:01,440
month, possibly December 30th it
says.

222

00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:14,760

224
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,960
the community known as Lynx. 
Nearest town West Union, nearest

Rd. 
Toby Lewis Rd. observed the 

226
00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:24,800
sighting occurred around 10:00 
PM at night. 

227
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,240
We live in a very rural area of 
Adams County, Ohio and have a 

228
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,080
house on 60 heavily wooded 
acres. 

229
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,120
My wife was sitting and watching
television as we all wore. 

230
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,960
We have a back window near the 
TV about 10 feet from where we 

231
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,600
sat. 
My wife suddenly said there were

232
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,880
two eyes staring at her through 
the window. 

233
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,320
At first I thought she was 
joking, but she was not. 

234
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,280
I got up and went to the window.
It was closed because it was 

235
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,240
cold outside. 
I opened it but could not see or

236
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,280
hear anything due to the 
darkness. 

237
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,240
At about the same time my wife 
said she saw the eyes, my oldest

238
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,480
son was getting up to go outside
onto our front screen porch. 

239
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,760
As I was at the window, my son 
had just gone out the sliding 

240
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,040
glass door to the porch and was 
lighting a cigarette. 

241
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,080
As I turned away from the 
window, my son opened the door 

242
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,400
and began yelling for me while 
pointing toward the separate 

243
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,480
garage building next to our 
house. 

244
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,520
He dropped his cigarette and 
stood there looking for a few 

245
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,800
seconds, then quickly came into 
the house saying that he had 

246
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,320
just seen a big hairy thing 
looking around the corner of the

247
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,360
garage in his direction. 
This got us all excited and 

248
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,080
somewhat scared. 
I had recently had knee surgery 

249
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,400
so I did not go outside to 
investigate. 

250
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,960
I did, however, get a gun and 
load it. 

251
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,760
I went on to the porch, but I 
did not hear or see anything. 

252
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,360
I was convinced that my wife and
son had seen the same thing is 

253
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,880
it could have walked across the 
back of the house and garage and

254
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,440
come around the corner within 
that time frame. 

255
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,280
My wife described the eyes as 
very close together, glowing 

256
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,160
green in color and larger than 
human eyes. 

257
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,880
My son described the creature as
very dark in color with very 

258
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,520
long hair hanging down over his 
face. 

259
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,360
He could not make out any facial
features. 

260
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,920
Our deck slash porch is about 
four feet off the ground while 

261
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,040
the garage sets at ground level.
Based on my son's description, 

262
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,720
the height of the head in 
relation to the basketball hoop 

263
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,000
mounted on the front of the 
garage, the creature appeared to

264
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,280
be in the 7 to 8 foot tall 
range. 

265
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,040
The next day I went outside 
looking for any signs. 

266
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,560
I found nothing near the window 
or behind the house and garage. 

267
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,520
At the corner. 
I walked across a grassy field 

268
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,440
that extends from the side of 
the garage and found what 

269
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,720
appeared to be a faint 
impression of a very large foot 

270
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,160
in a hard clay and sand non 
grassy area. 

271
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,360
I measured and copied the 
imprint as the best I could and 

272
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,960
recorded in notebook, which I 
still have somewhere. 

273
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,520
I recall it being about 16 
inches long and approximately 10

274
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,840
to 12 inches wide across the 
top. 

275
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,880
The impression showed weight 
bearing areas with a large arch 

276
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,440
that left no impression. 
The toes appeared small and left

277
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,440
similar impressions. 
The sighting occurred in late 

278
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,320
December around 10:00 PM and I 
believe the year was either 1997

279
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,560
or 98. 
About a year or so before the 

280
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,240
sighting, while standing on the 
rear deck porch of our master 

281
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,280
bedroom late at night, I heard a
strange howling sound off in the

282
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,920
distance. 
It sounded like it came from 

283
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,000
near the top of the Ridge about 
1/4 mile up the hill behind her 

284
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,800
house. 
I do not believe it was a Kaya 

285
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,760
or a dog. 
Other witnesses 2 witnesses It 

286
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,400
says my wife and my son. 
I observed the footprint 

287
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,840
impressions on the next day and 
heard the howling sound. 

288
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,840
Previously, my wife and son were
watching television in the 

289
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,720
living room at the time of the 
sighting. 

290
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,360
Other stories No. 
I mentioned it to neighbors but 

291
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,000
they did not report anything. 
Time and conditions around 10:00

292
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,800
PM, Weather was clear and cold 
but not but above freezing 

293
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,480
environment Very wooded and 
hilly terrain. 

294
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,520
And then for the follow up 
investigation, it says. 

295
00:17:12,079 --> 00:17:14,119
I spoke with the son who saw the
animal. 

296
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,920
He described it as a big, hairy 
thing. 

297
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,440
His impression was that the 
animal was standing upright as a

298
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,440
human would, that it was very 
tall, and that it was peeking at

299
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,760
him from behind the family 
garage. 

300
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,640
The sighting occurred at night, 
but a yard light was on and 

301
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,680
provided illumination. 
The witness saw what he believed

302
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,320
to be the head and shoulders of 
the animal as it leaned out from

303
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,680
behind the building. 
He was unable to make out any 

304
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,640
facial features and could not be
certain that the animal was 

305
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,080
facing him, but the peaking 
behavior made him believe it 

306
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,240
was. 
He described the head as round 

307
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,280
and thought the animal was 
covered with hair. 

308
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,320
The sighting frightened the 
witness and he immediately 

309
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,000
retreated into the house so he 
did not see the animal leave. 

310
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,560
The witness was certain that 
what he saw was not a bear. 

311
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,400
He stated he had never seen 
bears in the area, but the very 

312
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,280
tall, upright posture was unlike
a bear, and it simply did not 

313
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,760
resemble one. 
At the time the sighting, the 

314
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,880
witness did not know what he was
saying. 

315
00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:19,240
That unknown quality appeared to
be what made the experience so 

316
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,160
frightening. 
Only afterward, when the family 

317
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,920
discussed the event, did they 
conclude it may have been a 

318
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,240
Bigfoot. 
The witness is now a serviceman.

319
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,120
He appeared absolutely truthful,
and I have no doubt that his 

320
00:18:32,120 --> 00:18:36,640
experience was real. 
Yeah, you know, they do get some

321
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,200
great witnesses here. 
The fact that they send these 

322
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,280
investigators in to do the 
follow up really makes the 

323
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,240
accounts, I think, so much more 
believable. 

324
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,240
We'll go ahead and do one last 
one here. 

325
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,760
This last thing that we're 
looking at is dated August 18th,

326
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:56,560
2020, Ashland County. 
It says camper family makes 

327
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,000
official report of their 
Sasquatch encounter at Pleasant 

328
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,080
Hill Lake Park adjacent to the 
Mohican State Park. 

329
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,240
Location details. 
Pleasant Hill Lake Park, 3431 

330
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:12,720
State Road 95, Prairieville, 
Ohio, goes on down here. 

331
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:17,440
It says nearest town Perry 
Perrysville, nearest road SR-95 

332
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,480
observed. 
This report was taken from an 

333
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:26,080
official MWCD that's Muskegon 
Watershed Conservancy District 

334
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:33,480
Park Ranger Incident Call record
report number CL21-010216. 

335
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,920
Field notes were filed on August
18th, 2020 at 2250 hours by 

336
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,400
Pleasant Hill Lake Park Ranger 
McClellan, number 915. 

337
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:49,640
On August 18th, 2020, at 2250 
hours, the Ashland County 

338
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,600
Sheriff's Office received a 911 
call reporting unknown subjects 

339
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:59,080
throwing items at a family from 
the woods at the primitive camp 

340
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,040
area of Pleasant Hill Lake Park 
in Ashland County, Ohio. 

341
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,560
Park Ranger McClellan was 
dispatched and arrived shortly 

342
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,680
thereafter at campsite number 
417 where he met with the 

343
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,920
caller, Faith Steele and her 
family, consisting of her 

344
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,960
husband and two children. 
The witness advised that someone

345
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,440
in the woods behind their 
campsite was throwing sticks or 

346
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,880
rocks at them and around their 
tent. 

347
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,080
Due to the darkness, the witness
could not see who was throwing 

348
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,680
the objects. 
The husband stated that he 

349
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,920
initially thought it might be 
children playing in the woods. 

350
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,240
However, when he yelled into the
woods, he did not hear any 

351
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,320
voices or noises indicating 
children, leading him to believe

352
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,320
it was not kids. 
The witness stated that a few 

353
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,000
minutes later, they heard 
strange, loud, and unusual 

354
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,960
noises coming from the woods. 
At that point, the father 

355
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,640
directed his young children to 
go into the tent. 

356
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,440
Well, he stood outside holding a
small pocket knife, just in 

357
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,880
case. 
A few minutes later, the witness

358
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,800
reported hearing a loud bang or 
knock, as if someone had struck 

359
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:08,120
the side of the nearby wooden 
outhouse restroom located on the

360
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:10,280
opposite side of the primitive 
camp area. 

361
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,000
When they turned and looked in 
that direction, they observed 

362
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,480
something run into the woods. 
The witness described what he 

363
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,960
saw as a tall, dark, hairy 
figure that ran and disappeared 

364
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,760
into the forest. 
The witness stated that the 

365
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,080
first thing he thought of upon 
seeing it was a Bigfoot. 

366
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,680
Park Ranger McClellan checked 
the surrounding area but was 

367
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,560
unable to locate anyone in the 
woods and did not observe any 

368
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,360
damage to the outhouse 
structure. 

369
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,000
The family was the only group 
camping in that section of 

370
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,560
Pleasant Hill Lake Park at the 
time. 

371
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:46,720
No further investigation was 
warranted at that time. 

372
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,040
Other Witnesses 4 witnesses 
mother, father and two children 

373
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,960
camping alone in the primitive 
area of Pleasant Hill Lake Park.

374
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,120
Other Stories Yes, three 
additional incidents have 

375
00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:00,720
occurred at Mohican State Park. 
Other Ashland County sightings 

376
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,640
were reported on April 24th, 
2021 and June 9th, 2021. 

377
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,000
Time and conditions Nighttime 
dark with very low light. 

378
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,560
Any densely wooded area 
environment. 

379
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,720
Mature hardwood forest with sun 
pine located along a stream and 

380
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,560
hill Ridge within a park. 
And this is follow up 

381
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,680
investigation by BFO 
Investigator Matthew Moneymaker.

382
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,080
This incident definitely 
happened. 

383
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:27,920
There were multiple witnesses 
and they were clearly 

384
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,640
frightened, prompting them to 
call the Sheriff's Office. 

385
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,960
There were no other people 
camping in that remote permitted

386
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,320
section of the park. 
The father clearly believed the 

387
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,320
encounter involved a Sasquatch. 
The type of camp harassment 

388
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,000
described is not uncommon and 
has been reported in many parts 

389
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,320
of North America. 
In this case, it occurred near a

390
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:52,600
densely wooded garage where 
various BFRO investigators, 

391
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,280
including myself, have 
encountered or hurt Sasquatch 

392
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,720
over the years. 
The surrounding areas. 

393
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,840
One of the historical hotspots 
of Sasquatch sightings in Ohio. 

394
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,040
This official report is is a 
historical first. 

395
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,840
As far as I know, it marks the 
first time a sighting report of 

396
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,000
a probable Sasquatch was taken 
by a park Ranger and then 

397
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,400
approved for public posting 
alongside other Sasquatch 

398
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,800
sighting reports from the area. 
It took time to move through the

399
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,000
approval process, but the park 
ultimately requested that the 

400
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,320
BRFL posted. 
This official signing report was

401
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,440
provided by managers of Pleasant
Hill Lake Park, which is part of

402
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,760
the Muskegon Watershed 
Conservancy District MWCDA 

403
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,680
political subdivision of State 
of Ohio. 

404
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,480
Ohio is clearly the leading 
state in the United States in 

405
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,200
terms of officially 
acknowledging the potential 

406
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,160
existence of Sasquatch's. 
This recognition extends beyond 

407
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:57,360
this single prior and report and
beyond Salt Fork State Parks 

408
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,400
annual hosting of the Ohio 
Bigfoot Conference, which 

409
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,960
inspired similar events in other
states. 

410
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,760
More importantly, it includes 
the open interest of the Ohio 

411
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,440
Department of Natural Resources,
which has not hesitated to 

412
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,840
suggest that sasquatches may be 
real animals residing within the

413
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,120
state. 
Visitors can view the official 

414
00:24:17,120 --> 00:24:21,280
Ohio DNR YouTube channel and 
sort videos by Most Popular to 

415
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,200
see how prominently Bigfoot 
related content ranks compared 

416
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,040
to other topics. 
While the videos may be modest 

417
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,800
in production, their 
significance lies in the fact 

418
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:36,000
that an official government 
agency is openly discussing 

419
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,760
Bigfoot, teaching U.S. history, 
and conducting serious field 

420
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,640
investigations. 
No other state DNR is doing 

421
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,960
this. 
Pleasant Hill Lake Park is 

422
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:50,360
taking things a step further. 
At September 2022, after 

423
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,040
requesting BFO assistance, the 
park agreed to host a weekend 

424
00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:58,440
event coordinated by the BFRO, 
during which thermal drones will

425
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,480
be flown over the park land and 
the neighboring Mohican Memorial

426
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,080
State Forest, a known hotspot 
for Sasquatch sightings and 

427
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,800
sounds, to survey for large 
mammal targets such as coyote, 

428
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,280
deer, possibly Sasquatch's 
ground spotters equipped with 

429
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,880
handheld thermal images will 
assist. 

430
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,600
The operation will be highly 
organized and conducted across a

431
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,800
large government controlled 
area. 

432
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,080
Live resolution thermal video 
from the drones will be 

433
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,800
protected onto large screens at 
the Mohican Lodge Conference 

434
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,240
Center on Friday night at the 
event dates to be announced, 

435
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,120
followed by a larger public 
viewing near Pleasant Hill Lake 

436
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:39,920
Welcome Center the following 
night. 

437
00:25:41,120 --> 00:25:43,440
That's wild. 
Then it goes on, continues 

438
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,440
talking a little bit about the 
sighting, about doing this 

439
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,400
investigation. 
Yeah, what a cool sighting after

440
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,120
this primitive camp area and all
of a sudden you hear this thing 

441
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,000
tossing rocks at your tent. 
Very, very cool stuff. 

442
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,960
Well, if you like the program, 
don't forget to like, follow, 

443
00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:01,560
subscribe. 
Doesn't cost a dime. 

444
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,480
Until next time. 
This is UFO warning over and 

445
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:04,680
out.
