Account
Bertha Baumgartner, driving north on State Rte. 16 between Cyclops Steel Factory and Conesville Power Plant toward Coshocton, saw large hair-covered creature cross the road in three or four steps. As she drove by her headlights showed it standing in a ditch beside the road among small trees, facing away from the road. There have been two sightings of similar animals crossing the road at that spot in recent years.
