A new video posted on YouTube by the channel Bigfoot Encounters Narrated has caught the attention of the Bigfoot community. The video, titled "BIGFOOT REPORTS IN OHIO," features several intriguing accounts of Bigfoot sightings in the state of Ohio. The first account comes from Shannon Morgan, who, in Fall 1978, saw a creature that appeared to be a large Standing Bear, but with a human-like face. Shannon and her friend both saw the creature and it looked directly at them, but they never spoke about it to anyone except once, five years later. Next, a witness shares their experience of seeing a Bigfoot as a child in Washington County, Ohio. The witness saw the creature standing over their burn barrel and described it as being strong and tall, with a distinct smell that they will never forget. In May 1979, a witness's brother had a close encounter with a Bigfoot near Logan, Ohio. The witness's brother was feeding their dog when he saw a "big hairy man" leaning against their building. The witness's father and dog chased the creature away, but it returned the very next night and was seen by the witness's mother. In June 1980, a witness's brother had another encounter with a Bigfoot in Columbiana County, Ohio. The witness's brother was sitting in his mobile home when he saw a tall figure approaching the window, breathing heavily. The following morning, the witness's brother found what seemed to be paths of broken down brush leading towards the creek bottom. In July 1980, two witnesses had a close encounter with a Bigfoot in Athens County, Ohio. The witnesses were walking to get snacks when they saw a dark silhouette cross the tracks. As they got closer, they saw the creature and smelled a strong odor of wet dogs. Lastly, a witness and their father and cousin had an encounter with a Bigfoot in Ross County, Ohio in the summer of 1980. The witness's father and cousin were fishing when they noticed a horrid smell. They looked up and saw a creature standing in some brush along the creek. These accounts add to the growing body of evidence that Bigfoot exists in Ohio and beyond. The witnesses in the video all describe the creature as being tall, strong, and having a distinct smell. Some witnesses even describe the creature as having a human-like face. It's always exciting to hear new accounts of Bigfoot sightings, and this video is no exception. The witnesses in the video all seem credible and their accounts are detailed and consistent. These accounts serve as a reminder that Bigfoot is still out there, and that there is still much to learn about this elusive creature.
