Bigfoot Sightings in Ohio and Field Research Notes of the EOBIC

This page contains reports of 'alleged' sightings of a creature known as Bigfoot. All sightings represented on this page took place in Ohio. They were investigated by Don Keating or another researcher, whom will be given proper credit for their report.

This list should not be considered complete. If you or someone you know has seen a creature that resembles Bigfoot, please fill out the provided form below. All names will be kept strictly CONFIDENTIAL. You may e-mail Don Keating privately as well if you see fit. All images (photos, drawings etc.) are © Copyright Don Keating -- EOBIC. Thank you for visiting this site and now let's get to the bulk of the page.

Quite often reports from the pre-1990 era are submitted. I feel it is just as important to learn about these sightings as it is the sightings from 1990 or later. That's why I've undertaken a major project in making recently submitted pre-1990 sightings available to the general public on this web site. Just click on to Pre-1990's Sightings and you'll see a growing list of documented sightings.
