August 18'th, 1999 @ appx. 6:00 p.m. in Coshocton County

Coshocton County in east central Ohio continues to amaze me with reported Bigfoot activity. I traveled to some friends residence on Wednesday evening August 18'th to visit them and three out of town friends of mine. One man, Eric H. from western Pennsylvania traveled the furthest. Before I arrived, he had been cruising the county roads checking out the area. You see, this is the first time he had been in this area. What follows is an amazing story of a man who just happened to be in the "right place at the right time." He does NOT claim to have seen a Bigfoot creature, but says "I'm not saying it was Bigfoot I saw, but I don't know of anything else it could have been." Now his report, in his own words.....

------------------------------------------

Location--- on a grassy access road
Terrain--- woods, swamps, hilly terrain
Weather--- Cloudy, humid and about 80°
How Close Were You to What you Spotted?--- about 50 yards
Height--- not sure
Color--- dark brown/black
Description--- "Following two other researchers in my car, we were traveling along route --- and I was scanning the terrain looking left and right. I was just passing the grassy access road when I looked left and out of the corner of my eye I saw something large and dark standing on the [access] road. I passed the road and drove appx. 25 feet before stopping, honking my horn and backing up. When I reached the road again whatever it was had gone. I grabbed my camcorder and exited the car. I ran up the hill to find an area of matted grass where it was standing. We found no boken branches, noticed no noises or unusual smells."

I was informed that Eric and the other man (researcher) had also discovered several smashed areas in the grass about 40" away from each other where this individual had walked. I plan to go out to the area on Saturday August 21'st and scout the area.

The white "X" in this picture represents the appx. location the western Pennsylvania man spotted what he did. Eric told me that the thing he spotted was a good two feet taller than the light colored individual on the left side of the trail in this photo. That is Hawk Spearman standing there for comparison purposes. He is 5'-11".
