Over the last week or two I got in a couple reports that I attempt to follow up on but on one I got no reply and on the other there was no contact information. One of the accounts might make you say "You saw a what?" ..hence the title of this post.
Here is the first sighting, which I'm thinking is a Bigfoot sighting. It comes from someone name Leanard, that is how it is spelled in the email. Here is what Leanard said "I saw something strange at Lorain metro park in Elyria (Photo of area above). I was hiking with granddaughter, stopped took picture of her. 10 minutes later I sat down at spot and spotted a black figure with left arm holding a tree. I had an a counter in early 80's down there!"

Tracks Found Near Ohio River - Update!
After running the Possible bigfoot tracks found near Ohio River story I received a few emails about this area.
I know many have just wanted to dismiss the story due to it being close to a very populated area but there have been other reports of Bigfoot in populated areas.
I got an email from another person name John who said "I have lots of info on the Ohio river, there's a campground that you hear screams and groans all the time, the folks there say it's the KY bigfoot. My cousin spends more time than any one down there he's heard it many many times. It's woke them from their sleep screaming."
I was also contacted by Bill Hammond. Bill was interested in helping out in the investigation. It was soon realized that this area was only about 15 minutes from Bills work and close to a place where he had golfed.

I got a report from some of my family a few days ago. I had known about their finding for a while now but they want to make it official now with a report.
The report comes from Jim and Vickie, I will only use their first names but I'm sure anyone who lives around here will know who they are. This finding happened about 2 years ago.
Jim and Vickie like to go 4 wheeler riding, sometimes they go on night rides. One evening after a good rain the couple decided to take a ride on the ATV.
"It was the edge of dark, we like going on night rides and it had just rained. We was riding and I was driving, so wasn't going fast, I looked down and saw a footprint and stopped and backed up" Vickie said.
Vickie continued "I thought it strange someone being barefoot so recent and up in the mountains. When we saw it and started to examine it we realized it wasn't human, yet it favored human toes but bigger. But the toes were different, had odd number and we new it wasn't human. We got freaked and I took out of there. We will never forget it!"
At this point in our conversation and after realizing that the track had something unusual about it's toes; I told Vickie about the 4 toed casting I have that came from Oregon. This is when Vickie said "Jim said this print had 3 (toes)." As some of you may know there are many reports of 3 toed tracks being found, I relayed this bit of information to Vickie. Her reply was "WOW!"
She went on "We couldn't find the second print but the mud turned into grass, the print was close to the middle of the road but it was at least 4 foot from road to grass! It was also a deep print. We left because it was so fresh." She proceeded to tell me the exact location of the track but I will not disclose that information other than to say it was in Harlan county, Kentucky. Vickie also said "I know I had the weirdest feeling" in reference to finding the fresh track.
I myself know and many others, that same odd and often times scary feeling you get when you encounter a Bigfoot.
I ask how big the track was and Vickie said "Jim put his foot down beside it and it was couple inches longer than his and he has a size 14 boot. The toes were deeper than the heel of the foot, we figured it was running and it was only about 5/6 inches in the middle but it did have a slight curve to the insole."
Unfortunately, the couple did not have a camera with them that night. But after this finding of the track they rarely go our without one.
I would also like to add, that this is very close to at least one if not two reported sightings. So, the chances of this track being a Bigfoot track are real good.
I wonder sometimes about the 3 and 4 toed tracks that are found. Is it just a case of toe overlapping or did some of the toes just not make an impression? Maybe the easiest answer is that they only had 3 or 4 toes. I really don't know, I guess that is just another part of the mystery of Bigfoot.
Thanks to Vickie and Jim for sharing their finding with me.
Thanks

| Close up of hair |
What
Gives Sasquatch The Leg-Up In Stealth And Cunning?
Could
It Be The Hair???
By
Dorraine Fisher
Over
the years I’ve read and heard about stories in ancient cultures in
which human hair was considered a source of almost supernatural
powers. The bible story of Samson and Delilah being the most famous:
When Delilah cut Samson’s hair, the undefeatable warrior was
finally defeated. And I always wonder. Was it based on some
knowledge that’s been lost over the years?
Some
ancient matriarchal cultures believed that women with the most body
hair, like pubic hair, were the most powerful women, and only they
were raised to the status of shamans. And Native American warriors
often kept their hair long, and were extremely superstitious about
cutting it, claiming they lost their advantage in battle. And when
Genghis Khan conquered the people of China, he is said to have forced
them to cut their hair and wear bangs over their foreheads. Bangs
were considered bad luck because they covered the proverbial “third
eye,” believed to be the source for intuition. Where have these
ideas come from in unrelated cultures in far- reaching corners of the
world? I was curious.
Whiskers
on mammals are known to be very sensitive receptors that help them
sense danger, navigate in the dark, and decide if they can fit into
small spaces. This could explain that supposed sixth sense, or
intuition. And though many pet owners remove these receptors on
their dogs and cats, increased confusion in the animals has been
reported, along with diminished spatial awareness as a result.
So,
with this information in mind, it wasn’t that much of a stretch to
wonder if the story about the Vietnam War Native American recruits
has a shred of truth to it. It’s a story that’s popped up in
front of me a few times in the last few years and never seems to die.
So here goes. This was reported by a woman anonymously whose husband
had been VA psychologist and treated vets with Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder.
During
the Vietnam War, the war department’s special forces were in
desperate need of recruits with special abilities in tracking,
stealth, and survival skills. They needed men who proved to have
outstanding and sometimes almost supernatural abilities in hunting,
tracking and navigating in rough terrain. So they sent undercover
agents out searching for these types of men, and the target areas
were most often Indian reservations.
Well,
as the recruiters often do, they managed to suck these specially
talented young men into the fold for their special forces, and
trained and prepared them for the field. This preparation, of course,
included the standard military haircut.
But
a strange thing happened when they were sent into service in the
field. They seemed unable to perform as they had at home. These
special or even “supernatural” abilities had been hindered
somehow, and enough casualties and performance failures were reported
that the military was forced to investigate and do an extensive study
on the matter.
When
the older recruits were interviewed and asked where they thought the
whole thing went wrong, they consistently claimed their military
haircuts had put them at a disadvantage. They could no longer sense
danger, and they had lost their intuitive skills. So the army sent
recruits back into the field, but allowed them to keep their long
hair. And sure enough, they performed much better beside other
warriors with the standard haircuts. The story had so much impact
that it was said that this report made the VA doctor grow his
whiskers and hair out and never cut them again after he read this
report. And it’s also believed this information is purposely being
kept from the public by the government.
So
where am I going with this? Animal hair, human hair; hair is hair.
Right? But is their more to it than just style choice and body
cover? A lot of signs are pointing to the idea that there may be a
lot more to it than we ever imagined.
Let’s examine the creature known as bigfoot, a very
large mammal, who is believed by many researchers to possess
amazing, possibly almost supernatural abilities for staying well
hidden, eluding humans, and surviving in a dangerous world without
being detected. Could their hair, having never been cut in their
entire lives, be an important part of the puzzle?
If
whiskers on animals and hair on humans really do have some kind of
built-in receptors that make up intuition or that “sixth sense”
we know exists, can another type of animal/human like bigfoot have
evolved this skill even further to elude humans in a world where
humans are their worst enemy? Could it actually be something as
archaic as the hair that gives them a physiological and psychological
edge? Bearing all this information in mind, and looking at the
stories throughout history, it’s at least worth thinking about.
And
we might want to think twice about cutting our own hair.

| Out in the forest |
Bigfoot Field Research - Message to Viewers
Today as I was fighting boredom, I decide to hit the forest and do a little Bigfoot research. I do manage to find a few interesting things and I also set up a couple of game cams. This video is very lightly edited, it is almost the raw footage. I take some time and talk a little about how I set up my game cams and stick formations. I also have a special message at the end of the video for our viewers. I've not been out a lot this year, seems I've had to make several trips to the dentist and at times I didn't feel like getting out. It sure felt good to be out today.

Possible Bigfoot Tracks Found Near Ohio River
I got a report in last night and have been following up on it today. This possible finding of multiple tracks was send in my John. I will not use his last name to protect his privacy.
John and his 8 year old son was out fishing on 5/24/15. They were in Louisville, Kentucky fishing along the Ohio river. They were fishing near Shawnee park. This is a heavily populated area but if you were to cross the river there is a lot of forest land. Here is a map of the area.

Here is the report.

County: Valley
Date of Sighting: 1976,1986,2011,2014
Time of Day: 10:30 pm
Nearest Town: Lowman
Length of Sighting: 2 min.
How many Witnesses: 6 Hunters
Any Photos/Videos: no
Describe sighting in detail:
I have had more than one encounter as I call it. The best was in 1986. I had just got out of the Marine corp. I was 22 yrs old in top condition. My uncle asked me if I would like to go elk hunting.I never turn down a chance to go hunting. There was six people in our hunting party.We split into two-man teams and all agreed to meet back at camp at 5:00 pm. My cousin and I decided to hunt up one of the ridges on the far side of the meadow. My uncle and another hunter went on the ridge one over from us.
We didn't have any luck seeing any game.Two groups met up at the meadow and talked about hunting back to camp by going through another draw. As we were walking through the brush, we came across a log structure. At first I thought it was just a slash pile loggers left behind after cutting trees down. My mind was focused on finding elk. Not log piles. My uncle said, "Look at these logs! They have not been cut by man." I said,"So?" He replied,"No saw marks... no ax marks, and no hatchet marks." Then my uncle said, "Where's the tree stumps for these logs?" We looked around. The closest stump was fifty yards away.
This log structure stood about eight feet high and thirty feet around. The logs that were in the pile were green, Not dried out and were 6 to 8 inches around and ten to twenty feet long. There was a two foot opening at one end. No one wanted to be brave and crawl into and look around.
My uncle said, "Do you smell that?" It was a musky smell. I thought to myself, What died ?!? Shortly after the smell I thought I heard a woodpecker, and my uncle said, "That's NOT a woodpecker."I said, "What?" My uncle replied, "That's rocks being slapped together!" An eerie feeling came over me and the rest of the hunters. It was like we were being watched. We decided that we would back out of the area and go to camp an easier way.
When we got back to camp, we told the other hunters what we had stumbled across in the middle of no where. After we got a bite to eat we decided to play cards inside our sheepherder tent. It must have been around 10:00 pm when my uncle said, "Hey! Quiet!" We all calmed down to list. We could not hear anything. It was very quiet... nothing moving and no breeze. So we went back to playing cards. I thought it was my uncle trying to play a trick or cheat at the card game. Five minutes went by and my uncle again said "Quiet!" This time he said "look!" as he pointed to the lantern that was hanging from the center of the tent. It started to sway, and before we knew what was happening, the tent collapsed on everyone!
I remember that my uncle was the closest to the tent door. He opened it and started yelling for us to come out as fast as we could. It was dark, and we all were grabbing for flashlights and weapons. I grabbed a flashlight and a hunting knife. One by one we exited the tent. My uncle told us to all spread out. He said that we need to find out what made the tent come down.I stepped around to the back of the tent and listed. I heard something walking through the brush. It sounded like someone walking through dry leaves. Stepping around the tree that was in front of me, I hoped that I would see what ever it was that was making the noise . I flashed my light around and saw nothing. My cousin walked up behind me and placed his hand on my shoulder and asked in a soft voice, "Whats that in front of you?" I asked, "Where?" He quickly grabbed my arm with the hand that had been on my shoulder an said, "Don't move your flashlight!" He reached around me with his flashlight and waved it at the area that I had my flashlight pointed at. He said, "Here!" When he did that, the creature took two steps sideways.
My cousin said, "What is that?" I replied, "I don't know!" My cousin exclaimed, "That's not fur, it's hair!" What we were looking at appeared to stand seven to eight feet tall. It walked on two legs, and the weight looked to be 600 to 800 pounds. It was a rust color. What came to my mind was a very large man in a ghillie suit. This thing was thirty feet in front of me. This all took place in about fifteen seconds. As we stood talking about it, it dropped to all fours and started to run away from us like a gorilla. My cousin said, "Let's get a better look at it!" So we started to chase it down an old abandoned logging road that led down hill toward the meadow.
The moon was full that night with no wind at all. I felt like I was in a cross-country race, and the race was in my favor because it was going down hill. I used to be able to run the mile 4:30. The closer I got to this thing, the thought in my mind was, What do I do now?!? I got close enough to it as if it were a quarterback on a football field that I could have tackled or jumped on its back. I couldn't see the face through all the hair I did see the hand and fingers. It had a flat back. I could see the triceps and biceps as they flexed. I tried to hear if it was tiring from running, but it was not panting.
My cousin could not keep up, and he started yelling, "STOP! STOP!" I yelled back,"WHY?" He said, "STOP" again, so I broke off the chase. I kept my flashlight pointed in the direction Bigfoot was heading. My cousin finally caught up with me and said, "Listen!" I said, "What?" He said, "Do you hear anything?" I told him no, he said, "You should! We should hear something running. That means it's just stand outside of the range of the flashlights!" I asked him, "Why did you yell "STOP!"? "Think about it!" he answered. Wolves trick domestic dogs into the woods away from their home, where the rest of the pack will pounce!" An eerie feeling came over me. I suggested that maybe we should head back to camp.
Once back at camp everyone wanted to know what we had gone chasing after. No one else in camp saw it, but they did say they heard something big running. They also told us that the reason the tent came down was that two of the corner stakes on the outside of the tent were pulled up. These stakes were metal and were pounded into the ground with a ax! Since that time I have been back to the area half a dozen times. I have seen fourteen-inch tracks. I've heard more rock-knocking and one night I heard some good vocals from two different location at the same time. I feel that I know how to get them all worked up if they are in the area. One of these times my son and I knew that the closest person to us was at least twenty miles away. It doesn't leave a lot to your imagination on what's making the noise. They are big and hairy. I've been chased out of the area twice now. I still want to go back, but I will not go alone!!

Thanks goes to Michael for sending in the report.
Now, would you have chased this Bigfoot? Sometimes I'd like to think that I would have.
Thanks

Game Cam Images from Area 1
I know this may not be a very exciting post but knowing what animals are in an area can help us decide if the area is capable of supporting a Bigfoot. I know this area I call "Area 1" has plenty of fresh water and an ample food supply.
So I thought I would share a short video of some of the animals I captured on this last setup of the game camera.
Here is the short video.

Describe sighting in detail:
It was a very clear moonlit night and I was driving home from work in Shad bay area. As I started up a hill I noticed a fur tree on the side of the road shake. And out of the woods came some kind of animal that was very tall standing on two legs.
In a matter for 2 seconds it walked out onto the road in front of my car and i slammed on the breaks with it inches from my bumper.
It had to be at least 8 feet tall and had reddish brown fur or hair. It looked right at me and I froze still and couldn't believe what I was seeing. The greenish glow of the eyes seemed to pierce right threw me.
It looked very muscular, almost like a horse would with a long coat. This all happened in a matter of seconds and another car coming from the opposite direction stopped immediately after coming over the hill and the creature took a few strides and was gone.
The couple in the other car pulled up along side mine and said "what the f**k was that. I was still in shock and barley could get a word out. We talked from a brief minute but I just wanted to get home.
This happened only a few minutes from my house and to this day I will not go outside by myself at nigh and thinking of this still makes my hair stand on end! I have heard others have seen something like this around the area before.

A big thanks to Alisha for submitting her sighting. Yes, indeed there has been other reports close to this area. We have had a few reports from the Nova Scoita area. One in particular was from Leo Frank.
Thanks

RODS - Real or Bugs?
I can remember back in the 90s when RODS were making a big splash. These RODS were really a big deal for many cryptozoologists back around this time. RODS were discovered by Jose Escamilla. For those who may not know Mr. Escamilla is a producer of UFO video documentaries.
I think, best I can remember, the main claim is that RODS are a new living creature that was undiscovered until the middle 90s. That these things were almost everywhere, flying over our heads.
I can remember watching a video about RODS and then years later watching a clip of where they were debunked as being only bugs.
At one time, I think some even claimed them to be small UFOs.
Well, whatever they are, I managed to capture one on the game camera. Here is the video.

The mythic creature Leshy, also sometimes call the Wood Demon, is based on Slavic Mythology.
Leshy, sometime called wild man, is said to be a woodland spirit and a protector of animals and the forest.
Leshy is often described as a tall creature that can shape shift. He is said to have a beard made out of living grass and vines. In some description, the Leshy has a tail, horns and hoofed feet. Some say he carries a wooden club and is the lord of the forest.
The over all appearance of the Leshy is that of a man, but with a more pointy head and a few other oddities. It is said that the Leshy likes to play tricks on people in the forest and confuse travelers. The legend says that you may hear the Leshy laughing, singing or whistling while you are in the woods. But be careful, if angered the Leshy can become very dangerous.
There are many other descriptions and behaviors for the Leshy, even one where he has blue skin. The Leshy is always male and in some tellings he has a wife and children.
From all the different descriptions and the wide range of behavior, it appears the Leshy is kind of a free flowing legend. A legend that can adapt and change when needed to fit the scenario.
In my brief research of the Leshy, it seems to also have some of the same characteristic and roots as the United Kingdom's Woodwose.
Some tie and connect the Leshy to Bigfoot which I guess seems fitting, as Bigfoot is often called the wild man of the forest.
Thanks

Unknown Sounds Recorded
I recently purchased a sound recorder that I can leave out overnight in the woods. The reason I got this was that I recently had some odd sounds in Area 1.
After checking out the manual on the recorder I decided to give it a test overnight. I placed it out in Area 2, which is basically right where I live. There have been 2 Bigfoot sightings, one by me, in the immediate area, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to try the recorder.
During the night I did manage to record some common sounds with the recorder. For some reason, the dogs were barking like made for a short span. I also recorded a lot of frog and bug sounds.
There were some odd sounds. It sounds like voices, but again some dogs are barking and making it hard to hear. During the night there were also some odd bangs. So I have enhanced these sounds and made a short video. I'm NOT claiming any of this was done or made by a Bigfoot, I'm just saying I don't know what made the sounds.
Here is the video
