Incident #992809
Oberlin, Lorain Cty, Ohio
May 1998
Account
Will Duncan a week earlier had heard something rapping on wood in the forest while he was looking for tracks on a bridal trail beside the Black River, on the Carlisle Reservation. Returning the next week he found two tracks on the path, very shallow in the gravel and dirt. Horses' hooves left deeper inpressions, but not very deep. His boots made none at all. Toes were well extended, heel mark faint. Feet were flat.
