Geographical Index > United States > Ohio > Ashland County > Report # 3380 Report # 3380 (Class A) Submitted by witness on Thursday, October 9, 1997. Two high school students are chased by large unknown creature (Show Printer-friendly Version) YEAR: 1991 SEASON: Fall MONTH: September STATE: Ohio COUNTY: Ashland County LOCATION DETAILS: The incident in question took place in Ashland county about 5 miles south of Ashland on a one lane country road. If necessary I can go And get the actual township number for the road. OBSERVED: Myself and my best friend at the time were still in high school And we were "investigating" a "supposed" haunted bridge one night. So we went out to this old rail road bridge,(the kind that you can drive through And it is only one lane), and we went there at night. So we preceded to look around and we heard rustling in the woods next to us about 50 yards Away. We didn't think nothing of it so we continued looking around. The rustling began to get closer but we thought that it was a deer or something So we decided to walk up to this old abandoned barn to see what was in it. Well, all of a sudden there was this loud, deafening scream-roar-growl noise And we heard what sounded like heavy footsteps in the field next to us. I saw, running at us on what appeared to be somewhat all fours but it wasn't a massive creature with long shaggy hair. It stopped about 15 feet away and stood up and it had to have been at least 16 feet tall!!! We then took off running for the car and the creature pursued us. By the time we got to the car another was coming down the road and it scared the creature away. ALSO NOTICED: Other then the rustling of trees and bushes and the growl like sound I can't remember anything. We did come back the next day and found Some rather wierd looking tracks or footprints or whatever they were. OTHER WITNESSES: Well, we were walking up to the abandoned barn and my best friend stopped to take a leak. (as did I) ENVIRONMENT: The area was kind of set down in a low area with somewhat of a hilly area. There was a railway line that had two tracks and it ran along a raised area that had several one-lane bridges in the area on other roads. There was a small stream that also ran next to the railway bridge and in fact there was two bridges, one for cars and one for the stream. There was An old cow pasture where we actually saw the creature but surrounded that and everything else could be considered a wooded area or forest. The elevation Is not known.
