OBSERVED: I listened to the alleged Bigfoot howling on the BFRO website and have came to a conclusion that I'm hearing almost exactly the same type of howling in the woods behind my northern Portage County Ohio home. The last time I heard this sound was two weeks ago and when I was out working in the backyard. We often hear it at dusk.

TIME AND CONDITIONS: Always in the evening after dusk.

ENVIRONMENT: Woods mixed with heavy under brush.

Follow-up investigation report:

Even to the present day the screams continue as recently as three weeks ago. The area will be monitored with audio recorders.
