Reports of possible Bigfoot sightings in Ohio have grown to eight separate incidents over a five-day span between March 6 and March 10, according to information compiled by the Bigfoot Society.
The organization said the series of reports began earlier in the week, with the first six sightings drawing widespread attention online before two additional reports were logged Wednesday evening.
According to the Bigfoot Society, the sightings have been described as “high-credibility” reports submitted by witnesses who claim to have encountered a large unidentified creature in different parts of the state.
The seventh reported sighting occurred at approximately 8 p.m. on March 9.
According to the account provided to investigators, a mother and daughter were driving along Route 303 when they encountered what they described as a large unidentified figure standing near the roadway.
The witnesses said they came extremely close to the figure while driving.
According to the report, they came within about three feet of the creature as their vehicle passed it.
The witnesses described the figure as approximately six-and-a-half feet tall and brown in color.
They said the creature had a “blurred face” and moved with what they described as a “stilt gait.”
The report also stated that the passenger in the vehicle “could have hit it” as they drove past due to how close the vehicle came to the figure.
The eighth reported sighting took place the following day at approximately 10:30 a.m. near Lake Milton, Ohio.
According to the report, a resident at a private home said she observed a creature standing outside her window.
The witness described the figure as a dark reddish-brown creature approximately seven feet tall.
The witness said she watched the creature for about 30 seconds from inside her home before it moved away.
According to the report submitted to the Bigfoot Society, the creature leaned forward as it ran and disappeared quickly near a nearby pond.
