LOCATION:
Shelby County, Ohio
TERRAIN:
Wooded
OBSERVED:
I went fishing that morning alone that's very unusual for me because my
oldest son never missed a chance to go fishing. I arrived just after
day brake went to my usual spot and began fishing. I didn't have
any luck that morning. i remember it beginning to warm up the sun was up
and the skies were clear. I was getting board quick so i decide to settle
under the bridge on the rocks and try casting up river. After a couple
of casts i just began to day dream basically looking up river and that's
when i saw him. He was roughly 100 to 150 yrds up the river standing on
the other side out on the edge of the river in a very shallow area and
just looking right back at me .As if he had been watching me. Kind of like
deer hunting ,you know the next thing you see is white tails running away
from you only this guy didn't run. I watched him for just a few seconds
before he started to move towards the road. I guess he lost interest in
me the more i stood there and stared. He had to be around 7'-8' tall covered
head to toe with dark hair. After realizing what i was looking at i started
to think. Why would someone be dressed that warm in the middle of june?
You know like my mind wouldn't accept what i just saw I remember I could
see the out line of his body mainly dark and the hair was jagged, big shoulders,
long arms, and as he turned toward the road i could see two legs as he
stepped into the tree line. Then a car was coming down the road.
I could hear it and he hard it too. All the while I'm getting my fishing
stuff together and keeping an eye on the bigfoot. He took one more
step into the tree line stopped i could still see his upper body and one
leg from the knee down the car went by i looked at the car and looked back
and never seen him again. I made my way up to the top side of the
bridge ran across the bridge carrying all of my fishing gear determined
to find this thing i thought i saw .jumped in the truck slowly rolled up
on the spot i last seen the bigfoot I guess to be honest i was a little
to freaked out to get out of the truck at that time. I did go back 2 days
later. I looked for tracks, Hair, anything freshly broken. Came up
with nothing.

I've heard some about a sighting years ago. But i haven't went any
further .I have only told my wife and kids this store and my wife had to
really push to get me to talk because i still couldn't accept what i had
seen and i was thinking no one will believe it. But I Do.
