Incident #992807
Bolivar, Stark Cty, Ohio
Jul 1997
Account
Driving home, aboutg a mile East of Bolivar, between 8.30 and 9 a.m., saw a creature walk across the road about 75 yards ahead of her. No description of location, but researcher remarked on wildlife situation at the site, so presumably it was forest. She estimated height at 7 to 8 feet, but back at the site changed that to 8.5 to 9 feet. Only saw it take one step in crossing the road, but looked away briefly thinking she was seeing things, so only sure that stride was long.
