Oberlin, Lorain Cty, Ohio
Oct 1987
Account
Bow hunting from a tree stand, near West Hamilton St. and Rte 20, among 10,000 pine trees, heard something moving and deep grunts. It came closer then screamed and jumped across a 20-foot path in the pine trees about 50 feet from him. It was too dark to see more than that it was big and on two legs. It kept screaming and running into a big wooded area. A neighbour heard the screaming and wood breaking.
