Crawford County
July 1997, Late Night, Conneautville, Highway 198/ Pierpoint Road:
The witness was in the restroom late in the night and was standing near the window. The witness heard a deep gurgling sound mixed with laughter. It startled him and he looked out the window to see if I could see anything. Across the yard, on the far edge of the pond closest to the woods, he saw what seemed to be a large figure; but to be too tall and fat for a human, so he figured it was just a bear. The next morning while fishing in the pond, he noticed large footprints that looked nothing like a bear print.
1986-1994 Jamestown:
A couple living near Jamestown has several unusual encounters with an unforeseen creature heard moving through the woods and around the house late at night. The couple's dog displayed unusual behavior on several occasions when the creature was heard.
Summer 1965, 2:00 am, Geneva, Route 285:
While walking the dog, the dog began to act scared and all his hair on his back stood up. The witness looked up to see a large apelike creature about 12 feet away watching them. His eyes seemed to have a light orange glow. There was an odor but it wasn't strong. Needless to say, they ran back to their mobile home. It appeared to be at least 7 1/2 or 8 feet tall. Real dark hair and piercing, large eyes.

This young girl was playing in the woods and grabbed what she thought was a tree stump on the ground. Instead, it arose and she observed a large, black hairy bi-pedal creature with dark eyes, a wide mouth, and large square teeth. The hair felt like pine needles.
