May 16'th, 2001 in Jackson County

Jack Eblin writes.... "On May 16'th, 2001 I got a frantic phone call from a lady who lives appx. 10 miles from me in Jackson county Ohio.

I have put up flyers for the last couple months, about Bigfoot reports and this is how she got my number.

She told me for the last few weeks she has been hearing strange sounds in the woods close to her rural home - farm. Tonight she said she actually saw a large creature, her son also saw it. She said it was in her open barn, the barn has no doors. She told me her son was sitting on their front porch and heard quite a ruckus coming from "chickens" that roosted in the barn.

After hearing the noise, the boy got his mother and they went to check it out, the barn is appx. 100 yards from their house. It was close to dark, but still light enough to see. They both said they saw a large upright running animal going from the barn into the adjacent woods, the area is surrounded by the Wayne National Forest. However, they also said the animal had a "chicken" in it's hand. By the time I got to the area it was totaly dark. And of course no creature was in sight. I will return in the morning and look for prints, and signs of the "chicken" and keep you posted."

The top photo shows the barn where the first indications of something unusual going on came from by the noises from the chickens. The bottom photo shows the field the Bigfoot was reportedly spotted by the two witnesses.

Special thanks goes to Jack Eblin for supplying me with this information as well as giving me permission to use his photos on the web site with the report. You can visit Jack's Southeastern Ohio Bigfoot Page to learn more about his research in that part of Ohio.
