Ashtabula County resident Wendy – she asked to have her last name
withheld because she’s not sure she wants to be involved with Bigfoot
stories – was doing yard work on Aug. 11 when she noticed a 7.5 inch
wide footprint that was an inch and a half deep into the mud.
“I took a picture to show my mother’s husband, who’s a hunter, and he
said it wasn’t a human’s,” she said. “I’m not claiming that footprint
to be anything. I don’t know what that is.”
Wendy recalls multiple incidents in the past five years in which she
and her husband have come across “something not human.” She said she
hears knocking sounds on the walls of their house late at night, and she
remembers a time when she saw a figure in all black running across the
railroad tracks.
“The direction they were going, there were no homes. It would’ve gone
out the woods, crossed the tracks, and gone back into the woods,” she
said.
Wendy and her husband have also heard loud growls outside. “I never
walked backwards so fast to get back in the house. But I couldn’t see,
it was so dark back there.” She said the growl was impossible to
duplicate and made her husband’s “hair stand up.”
“I didn’t believe in the sasquatch before,” Wendy said. “And in fact
I’m still fighting it. But I can’t make sense of that large footprint.”
According to the group Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, Ohio has logged more than 242 sightings since 1974.
