Incident #991441
Warsaw, Coshocton Cty, Ohio
May 1996
Account
Jennifer sitting on porch of mobile home outside Warsaw, with younger sister. Heard breaking sounds in woods, then saw animal as described. She thought it was a bear, but it had a flat face, fat fingers on hands, arms hanging to knees, rounded head covered with slicked-back hair, and was always on two feet as it walked past. Dogs barked wildly before and after, but were silent when it was in sight. She had no height estimate until Don Keating and Betty Parks talked to her and Don held a cap high over his head.
