Incident #991398
Newcomerstown, Tuscarawas Cty, Ohio
Jun 1990
Account
Three members of Salem Township family (presumably Smart family) had a face-to-face encounter with a sasquatch and drew a picture. This was apparently the first of the many sightings at this location, where rocks were thrown on roofs, an abandoned building was wrecked, trees were broken down, many bad smells, screams, grunts and whistles. Footprints up to 18 inches reported found. Bob Daigle has a surveillance video of the building being wrecked and trees broken down on hillside. Don Keating the original investigator, became sceptical. Jamieston Devereaux, Warren Thompson, Doug McCoy and Leon and Betty Parks among those who have been there to investigate. The Smarts have since moved away.
