A video posted on the YouTube channel Bigfoot Encounters Narrated reveals fascinating stories and legends about a mysterious Bigfoot creature known as "Old Orange Eyes" in central Ohio. According to the video, Old Orange Eyes is an 11-foot tall, 1,000-pound creature that has been stalking teenagers on Lover's Lane for decades. The video shares accounts of Old Orange Eyes' appearances, including one in 1959 when three teenagers saw the creature rise from a ground fog at Charles Mills Reservoir near Mansfield. Four years later, the beast was seen again by several people, and it was assumed that Old Orange Eyes lived in a tunnel in Cleveland's Riverside. However, when highway construction destroyed the tunnel in the 1940s and 1960s, the creature was forced to live in a stretch of forest behind the Cleveland Zoo. One interesting account in the video is from a 12-year-old girl who saw a dark and large creature with long, dark brown hair and unusually long arms in the woods while searching for a missing horse with her grandfather. The creature seemed to be observing them from above, and when the girl's grandfather raised his rifle, it became agitated and shook a branch above its head until it snapped off before disappearing into the woods. The video also explores Bigfoot activity at Edwards Air Force Base in California, where several military security officers have reported seeing large hair-covered ape-like men walking through the desert. The officers described the creatures as being about 500 yards distant and appearing to be looking for something on the desert floor. Overall, the video is an intriguing collection of stories and legends about Old Orange Eyes and Bigfoot activity at Edwards Air Force Base. It's definitely worth a watch for any Bigfoot enthusiast.
