Incident #991367
St. Clairsville, Belmont Cty, Ohio
Aug 1987
Account
John Regoli, turning to enter garage, saw dark form stooping down by an old hay rake in a field on a hill behind the garage. He thought it was trying to hide before the lights hit it. He told Nora about it and went back out with a flashlight, but it was gone. After that his father noticed places where something huge had been lying in back of their place, an area with an old loggging road, a coal mine, ponds, trees, berries, apple trees and power lines. A few weeks later John heard screams at night in a field across from them, and in the morning 1200 pound hay bales had been turned to stand on end and some had the nylon cords binding them ripped apart. John Regoli reported another sighting Jan. 24, 1989.
